"Must be the water"

That’s awesome italian communication. I love it 😂
Best part of the race so far.

😆
Lewis is familiarizing himself with Ferrari strategies - "big opportunity missed there.."
Noooo Oscar
Such a pity :/
I swear the more chaotic a race gets, the more powerful Stroll becomes.
He himself is chaos and so he's in perfect harmony with his surroundings.
Really nice to see Anthony Hamilton console Hadjar. Sweet gesture.
An unfortunate incident, but he'll learn.
Anthony Hamilton is a 5 star human being
Lawson crash. Bortoletto out. Antonelli and Bearman are the only rookies left.
Surprised this Alonso fella hung in there for so long - not easy being a rookie in conditions like these.
That shot of the two McLarens sliding left and right while Max just drives through on the road lol
Is it time for the rookies to crash again?
Yes, it was!
I admit, I did write this after I saw Bortoleto and Lawson crash and not before
Disappointed
Alonso crashes. Another rookie out..
Haas has a different weather app for sure
Haas has a weather app?
The "under investigation" exclamation points next to the driver times are back! ❗
Ferrari really set out to harass their drivers today
Ferrari really set out to harass their drivers
todaythe last decadeOof, three cars out already
Andrea and Nico trading places over and over again lol
It’s the Hulk overtaking boot camp
Well he immediately made use of his training by overtaking Stroll
He learn fast 👍🏻
Doohan 😭
Rookie massacre out there.
Sainz too omg????
This might get a bit spicy. Probably not the conditions the rookies dreamt of, for their debut race.
Poor Hadjar
Omg
There goes VCARB's celebrations about him having the best quali out of all the rookies.
I knew it was going to be brutal for the rookies, but man that sucks for Hadjar. I doubt it'll be the last rookie crashing out.
Sainz counts as a rookie now?
Justice for Logan Sargeant!
Poor Doohan
Isack Hadjar has entered the chat
Jack Doohan just joined.
Poor Bortoleto
Poor Alonso
Poor Lawson
Bloodbath for the rookies
Press the button Hamilton...
If the rain hadn't hit the track it could have worked out for ferrari - to be fair Lewis was on the bad end of some bad Merc calls last season so hes probably used to it.
Looks like Ferrari and Redbull have a bit of catup to do. Antonelli did well.
Lewis getting lots of unwanted info from the pitwall was gold. I didn't get a sense of how the Mercs were doing. Will get to see if they are as mercurial as last year I guess.
Verstappen didn't box to be opposite to Norris
Kinda miss Will Buxton for the grid walk.
Glad Coulthard is still around for commentary
Another rookie out 😭
Charles LMAO
DRS enabled!? Wow! Now I’m curious with only one somehow usable driving line
Wow that was exciting at the end
Loud applause from the Aussies here as well for Oscar's move
Actual rain again? Gonna be wild
Fernando, the chad he is, taking his hands off the wheel when crashing.
So many drivers don't do that, and we saw with Ricciardo how it can end..
Yes I know that, his case was special, but in other cases not taking your hands off can easily end with broken fingers like Ricciardo
Since I'm out of the country, I'm stuck with watching Sky. Their obsession with Hamilton is truely fascinating
DRAMA 😱
"Hold position until you clear the backmarkers" is actually a fair demand imo
Ooof! Alonso is out
What an interesting sprint race we get at the end!
That top-down drone (?) shot of the kerb is 🔥🔥🔥
Place your bets: who will be out next on dry tyres on a semi-dry track?
I wonder how Ocon's feeling racing against all the rookies there, now that Hulk is in front of that whole pack
Oh no Yuki and Alonso have what I call a "Perez investigation"
