Drivers about to get into …. Mini mokes!!
Valteri got the second loudest cheers

Oh dear

Oh dear

Yes.... that was unexpected

Commentators seem to be saying it was driver error - looked more like a rear wheel lock up or similar. Whatever, that was a very short appearance.

In-flight wi-fi glitched just as the incident happened so I haven’t seen it yet. Such a shame though

Grrr…. One or all of QF wi-fi / NordVPN / Kayo causing me all sorts of headaches trying to watch the race

It's very exciting (watching on TV not in person which I expect would be even more exciting!)

Ok, having success removing NordVPN from the mix.

Some interesting strategies playing out.

Well done RUS and Merc. Great to see Ferrari in the mix. My driver of the day was ANT - what a recovery after his P3 shunt! Close second to LIN with points on debut.

More interesting race than most. New regulations seem to have had a positive despite all the pre race complaints.

Trouble was I was in the AKL lounge and took the opportunity of every safety car to grab a drink from the bar. Lucky I found the plane.
