So frustrating watching F1 these days. The TV director never shows the cars on track always cutting away to pointless pit crew garages cars that aren’t even on a hot lap or show pointless replays or even cut away from someone who is on a hot lap

Verstappen went with Monaco BW + RW in FP1. If they run that and can qualify well which fp1 seems to suggest, you would assume they will keep hold of their tyres well.

Red bull with a lot of degradation on the soft + high fuel

McLaren run looks good. Most impressive run I would say

A lot of teams did(including Mercedes and Ferrari), Red Bull and Mclaren used only 1 medium.

yeah, this is what they'll have left after FP2. I guess Ferrari is confident to be able to race on softs (or to do a one-stopper)

Seems like the softs are only good for one run, they fall of a cliff by sector 2

Merc race pace nothing to write home about. RB looks fastest with McLaren/Ferrari a little off.

This might even be a 3 stopper for some. No way anyone can pull off a 1 stopper. Everyone is falling off the cliff with degradation.

Max is telling GP his tyres are cooked etc
Max: "The tyres are too hot, so I'm just sliding on every axle."

Max: "My tyres are completely cooked. No grip."
GP: "Still useful learning Max."
