The circuit wouldn't have gotten a race if it hadn't been for Verstappen. So it's interesting to note the bending of criteria to host a race to accommodate his popularity.

Anyone see the Safety Car put it into the wall?

Yep. They are obviously a but rusty after having nothing to do for a few weeks.

I found a stream for Ark-Pine Bluff vs Ark on youtube.

The Razorbacks might be raising the bat for a ton today the way this is going.

They are saying the brakes failed so he binned it safely.
A bit concerning when your safety car ain't safe. Good ol Aston Martin reliability.

Sargeant is replacing Bernd Maylander for the weekend?

Ferrari bringing 9 upgrades with only 2 being circuit specific. They are either going to come out cooking and join the McLaren/Max fight or they are going to be this years Merc going backwards with the upgrades.

Annnd Antonelli bins it. 10 mins into your career must be a new record

George Russell will be delighted on how the kid treated his car

Same way George treated Valtteri's Mercedes at Imola 2021

That’s the last thing he needed.

Mercedes will be spewing. They’ve know the Lewis news for ages but they’re going to end up with a very poor 2nd driver (for their standards).

Bit harsh to write him off after 10 minutes in the car?

Fair call.

And to be fair the amount of air being pumped into Antonelli's tyres by the Sky F1 commentators before that crash would have made that car undriveable on the turn into corners.

You get to know when Toto is angry these days, not because of his facial expressions but his neck and head go a brilliant shade of red. And his face was Ferrari scarlet when the camera focussed on his just after that shunt. I'm pretty sure his last words to his rookie driver before he left the pits would have been 'don't break the car'.

I don't blame Kimi for that crash. I didn't see the session but apparently everyone was struggling at Parabolica. With the new track design there and the fresh tarmac the cars were having a hard time finding grip. Supposedly Colapinto also almost binned it there but managed to save it. It seems like it was just his inexperience that got him.

oscar can get on the front row. still a little below the pace at the moment.

Gonna be an interesting qualifying.

Monza is one of those tracks where you can quite easily pull an amazing lap time out of nowhere if you get a good tow.

Magnussen also had to bin it in P2.

So Kimi lost the back, his first words were, and I quote "F- yeah" to are you Ok? and "F- sorry" so he knew immediately too much speed, broke late, lost the back.
Colapinto, almost exact replica of Kimi, just locked up instead of lost the back so could ease on through the gravel instead of bounce into that wall.
Magnussen also went way too fast, over a run off area and bounced his way to a wall in P2 on a Lesmo corner.

Teams just had to screw up less basically as say when George went out in P2 it was "there's a loose nut" he was essentially sitting on, Lewis was "this seat is bloody hot" to get him P1 as he tried ot cool it down.

Lot of "learning on the fly" from most teams in P1 and P2 and newer drivers just pushing that too hard, and well HAAS being a bit aggressive as per usual.

lando reckons oscar had him by 4-5 tenths until he made a mistake and he is the one who needs to find pace, we shall see tonight

It is looking like the Ferrari upgrades might have worked somewhat so it could very well be an interesting quali with 7 drivers all with a legit shot at pole.
