Don't forget this is a Sprint race and from what I can see predictions need to be in before the Sprint shoot out which starts 8:30am on Friday morning - you have been warned

Stroll was quickest in practise this morning but a mix of tyres and maybe some sandbagging from Red Bull and Ferrari may have been in play.

Does anyone actually enjoy the sprint format? I have to assume so, but...

I will say though the sprint made more sense when it was where they finished was where they started in the race next day where as now it doesn’t really make sense.

So Alonso gets a 10 second penalty for giving us the best bit of excitement in the sprint race. Getting to the stage where they are not even aloud to fart in the car without getting a penalty. Let them race for feck sake.

They have been playing around with the rules for far too long , I was oot 10 years ago when I realised polishing a turd still leaves you with a turd , the heart and spirit of F1 died years ago
I was out then, as well...but have a young teen who is into all things cars (and Leclerc), so her interest led us back into watching last year.

I'll probably get castigated for this, but F1 has become IMHO more akin to a Chippendales/Gladiators international tour, but even they had one or two bad lads that shone through

After the **** sprint, the race today was quite good, lot of drama and different strategies.

The Sprint race is all about trying give spectators mores to see but it has never really worked so tweeting the format isn't going to help.

Reasonable race today, some interesting strategies, but some of the driving was shocking. I know there suppose to be racing but, and some of the excuses well sound more like a children's playground -he started it miss !
