I can't tune in, I'm assuming red bull hasn't put the car together backwards, which means they'll be 6 tenths up the road from everyone else, but how do Mercedes and Aston Martin look with their fancy upgrades?
Merc look surprisingly poor right now, but I'd back Stroll to maybe have a podium shot if Ferrari bottle it, as is tradition. Stroll 5th, Hamilton 10th, and Russell 16th as of this comment. Alonso way back in 19th.
Should be noted that Merc didn't touch their softs. I don't know that it completely explains away the poor results, but it is remarkable and I think we'll see some better times from Hamilton and Russell in FP2 and FP3.
Alex Albon podium watch is on
I'll be picking my jaw up off the floor if he actually does it.
The F1 channel commentary crew suspects he was running low fuel (glory run) since Sargent was 1.5 seconds behind. Would love to see it though
Putting together a few impressive display recently.
Wonder if might get another chance in the Red Bill at some point?

Almost 8 tenths up, right now. Ferrari and RB currently top 4. HAM 7th, RUS 12th, with 36 minutes to go.
Bless you
VER, PER, ALB, ALO, LEC, now. Session ended.

Very frustrating watching the times come in, then looking at the “H” next to the RB’s.
I don't think that applies to RB. Nothing's hard for that team.
Except Horner, most likely.
