I think the new safety car was one of the main points of the video. The green character ran off into the mountains. They went looking for it at Aston Martin and it wasn’t there. It turned up wearing red at the end.

Well done Lollipopman with the 25 minute explanation!

Comment on the youtube vid after the heavy emphasis this season on battery power harvesting and deployment: Formula Prius. Funny, but unfortunately accurate.

An interesting qualifying session. Impressive effort by Mercedes, but Isak Hadjar was a standout. And the Max... Is it the @MARTINE effect?

It was one of those collective gasp moments son. In the cab on the way home. Keen to watch that replay. The mercs were ‘smokin’ but tomorrow we see when overtaking in play

Apparently any cancelations won’t have replacements

At least you got your money's worth with all of the action across F1, F2 & F3. Bring on tomorrow.

Agreed
Fab days racing across all even though F3 was over after a few laps due to some James Wharton getting even closer to the wall than Max!

I watched qually this morning. Lots of green and gold “OP” hats with not a speck of papaya on them. Haven’t had the first race start yet and he is already distancing himself from McLaren.
