      I'm trying hard not to get too giddy based on two practice sessions, but it's looking like there could be a fight between Red Bull and Mercedes (and maybe even McLaren!). So excited for tomorrow…

          That was truly epic. Great start to 2021. Lando and Leclerc look gold for the future and Hamilton was immense.  🙂

            Epic indeed! Incredible stuff from Lewis at the end. That Honda engine looks to be a beast - if it proves to be reliable we’re in for an incredible season. Looks like there’s going to be a good battle in the midfield between Ferrari, McLaren and Alpha Tauri too! Hate that we have to wait three weeks for the next race…

              @Jcourt agree 100% on the midfield battle that will be amazing. Norris v Ricciardo first lap was fantastic yesterday too 🙂

                  Runs turns 4 wide 29 times in a row, nothing happens. Verstappen runs wide once, gets told to give place back. Incredible stuff indeed. Not to mention Verstappen was ahead going into that corner.

                  on another note, Yuki Tsunoda looks a decent driver. First race and already into the points.

                    That's because Horner tried to call Mercedes out and it back-fired  😃 😃 😃 😃

                      Ha - it was definitely odd how they were enforcing track limits on that turn in particular, but I agreed with the stewards in that instance…you can't have all four wheels totally off track while passing. The fact that Hamilton was able to defend as well as he did on those tires was pretty impressive. As Seb once said "if you're a woman getting a massage like [Hamilton] treats his tires, it's just pure magic."  😃

                      Tsunoda looked great all weekend - will be fun to see him compete in the midfield!

                          Wow. Race 2 at Imola was amazing! If the rest off the season is this close it will be classic year.

                          Lando was as superb as Bottas/Perez were terrible. Lewis and Max are a class apart.

                          More rain please  😉

                            starting to feel like Leclerc crashed on purpose to stop max from getting pole in Monaco.  😃 😃 😃

                              He took a thump.  High-risk strategy if we has damaged the gear-box….But it was very suspicious how massively he fucked up the turn into that corner....

                              But I like Leclerc a lot more than I do Max, so I've forgiven him already  🙂 🙂 🙂

                                Leclerc's a decent driver. shame he couldn't start today. was watching the news updates of his car and nothing wrong with it and boom, right before the start..  😢 😢 😢

                                    And Quartararo on pole too without red flags to help him! I’m ready to place a bet on the 2021 motogp champion!!

                                    It’s been ages since motogp had a french champ…about time!

                                    The journey is the objective.

                                      What an absolutely insane race today - a welcome change after Monaco! Stinks for Max but so happy for Checo and Seb. How about Hamilton’s ‘marathon not a sprint’ comment [emoji23]

                                        insane race. last 2 laps were unexpected. sad for Charles but nice to see a refreshed podium. absolutely over the moon to see Vettel back on the podium!!

                                        Hamilton sliding off the track reminds me of sol Campbell's never ending slide tackle against Croatia

                                          What an epic win. Max taking it on to two worldclass drivers from a worldclass team and taking the win because he was the best.  #33 #gomax #keeppushing

                                          I can resist anything but temptation.

                                            It was an epic win, no doubt and I m thrilled for Max.  He raced an impeccable race, in a great car and he deserved the win.  But being British, I'm letting my bias root for Lewis to get an 8th world title…
