Red Mosquito

Max Verstappen crashed in q1, without having set a time.

Sainz and Stroll with no laps in q1.

Out in Q1:

17. Alonso
18. Perez
19. Bottas
20. Verstappen (no time)
21. Sainz (no time)
22. Stroll (no time)

Q2 finished, these drivers are out:

11. Hulkenberg
12. Bearman
13. Ocon
14. Gasly
15. Albon
16. Colapinto

Q3 will be very interesting. New cars this season, this is the first real test of the cars against each other. No surprises in q1 and q2, apart from Verstappen crashing. However, the biggest question remains. McLaren, Ferrari or Mercedes, who has got the best car now? Red Bull also in the discussion for top places, but probably not without Verstappen.

Q3

1. Russell
2. Antonelli
3. Hadjar
4. Leclerc
5. Piastri
6. Norris
7. Hamilton
8. Lindblad
9. Lawson
10. Bortoleto (no time)

Mercedes looking really strong. Russell in a class of his own.

Colapinto is 16th, nice one buddy!!

Toto's smiles after qualifying 1-2 pretty priceless

Hamilton underwhelming as usual

The car is in a class of its own. They're finding 20kph more than everyone else on the straights lmao.

Season could be decided already. Unbelievable.

hilarious how Hamilton bitched out and left just in time for the car to take off

george and kimi are such a likeable duo

5 am here. Ready for the first race of the season.

Piastri crashed earlier today and didn’t start the race. Hulkenberg also with a problem, and didn’t start the race.

Fun start to the race, then less happened the further along the race got. Good win for Russell.
