Norris is definitely too mentally fragile to be a world champion. Piastri looks to have found the zone in the McLaren. The grid is a bit more mixed than I expected and for Norris to make a place or two. He’d need some luck to get to the front.

I get the vibe Norris would be equally content working for daddies hedge fund whereas if racing disappeared overnight, in no time at all, max would be walking the streets as a dishevelled mess. Still think whichever garage consistently gets their set ups rights will probably take it. If Piastri is to stand a change he needs to build a decent enough lead in the first half of the season so that Zak Brown has no chance to hold him back. If they are neck and neck, Norris will get preferable treatment. Either way, it'll take some sizable upgrades from the others to catch up. Mercedes moving ahead of Ferrari and RB is an interesting point early doors.
Given the huge money at stake, I think the race for fifth in the constructors will be the most interesting thing to watch throughout the year. Only the Sauber team looks like a tractor. The others all look capable of picking up points on a good day. Think Williams and Sainz will be frustrated with how thing have been. Haas, with a new (pretty mid) driver and a rookie, will be extremely happy with their start and seem to have built on their progress from last year.

That could be it for Norris’ challenge. I’d expect Oscar to overtake him, plus Max being Max, means McLaren need to back one sooner rather than later.
Hardly a classic race. It needed a Mazipin or Latifi to make it interesting.
Once the first corner was out of the way there wasn’t much to write about. Piastri battled hard with Max and came out on top.

It's all been pretty boring so far this season, bar a slippery moment in Melbourne.
Max was next level. That more at the start was edge of your pants stuff. I thought he’d be dropping back loads.
Safety cars screwed up Oscar’s race and Lando benefited. He seems to get a lot of luck with them.
Mad crash from Yuki but again, he was lucky with the safety cars and got a point.
Hadjar is quick. Really quick.
I’m out for the match next week so won’t be watching the race.
Nah. Yuki looks ok in the red bull. I doubt he will be there next year so let Hadjar stay in the Racing Bulls.
Mercedes horror show in qualifying. Why didn’t Russell just go down the run off instead of another few corners and the hairpin? Stupid Tory cunt.
Think he had intermittent drive so was trying to get back to pits
Which was dangerous as fuck.
Monaco should be completed in go-karts, and nobody can convinced me otherwise.
The two stop mandate seemed to get a lot of unfair criticism. Yeah, it didn't fix Monaco, little can, but at least it gave some jeopardy and tactics. I'm not sure what people were expecting. .
Anyway, decent win and performance from Norris. Keeps things interesting at the top for now .

So my F1 buddy is a massive McLaren fan. Me I'm 100% Merc!
I wonder what the verstappen fan boys think about that?
For me.
1st incident LeClerc was ahead. More than a cars width. Verstappen didn't yield. But just a racing incident
2nd incident Russell at fault. Baffled Red Bull asked to give the place back
3rd incident Verstappen boiled over and endangered an opponent. He should really get a racing ban for that.

It was a cluster fuck of a race all round from red bull. Bringing him in for hards was retarded. Leaving him out on used softs may have given him a podium. Then to tell him to give the place back was a piss take.
There’s no excuse for what he did. 10 seconds and the penalty points seems on the light side. But making Russell look like he was about to cry made me laugh. I hate that prick.
Watching Piastri all weekend was great. It’s his title.
