Dirty Epic 4:3 tv's F1 correspondent Seems a bit of a crashy session. Haas involved again. That Mazepin - a loathful character by all accounts, shouldn't be in F1. He can't keep the thing on the black stuff. Crash after crash. Another problematic weekend so far for Perez - a shame. He deserves better. Nice and close up front though. Cheers Dirty. Gene.

Another good race to watch with plenty of competition at the front and midfield positions. Hamilton couldn't capitalise from pole and it was clear the Red Bull was the better package here. Reading the breakdown this week, the experts are saying that Mercedes had an issue getting the tyre in the right window quickly enough. In essence the higher rake cars fared better. Lewis showed great skill to get out of the gravel trap when it looked on the cards for a DNF. Luck was on his side as a safety car/ Red flag from the Russell -Bottas incident allowed him to wipe the lap down he found himself in. He drove well on the restart though and worked hard to get the second place.
The stewards found the Bottas - Russell incident was a racing incident. Antony Davidson delves into it in the video below.
Driver of the day - Norris A great drive and well deserved podium. Chump - No clear winner this week.

Yes I agree. I am very hopeful that Perez will do well this year. He certainly proved his ability and character last year. (I do miss the cool pink cars on the track though happy to see Aston Martin represented).

Here is the quali run down from yesterday.
It is very different with a sprint 100km qualifying race only. So this is only going to occur at some races over the year. Some of the drivers have indicated that they are happy to try this.

I think the Sprint races will be a good idea at least it changes some of the old order and might shake things up a bit of we get a few crazy things (weather, collisions etc.) thrown into the mix. It has worked well in things like the BTCC but as always F1 can be a different animal. Here's today's race results don't view if you're watching it later. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/formula1/54909250
