At least we will get to see Max pass cars to win this week. I think the real question is how many laps do you all think it will take Max to get in contention for 1st. I’ll say 10

I'll take the over, 11 laps because he'll take a lap to get past Alonso.

Really just betting on whether you think he'll get through the first few laps unscathed. He had a second on the field and that was just his Q1, I bet he would have improved that gap.

I watched qualifying and Sargent had a good enough time to get to Q2 but slightly crossed OB coming out of the last turn and had the lap wiped. McLaren looked like they made some gains this week, then Norris dinged up the car in Q1 that he didn't get a real lap in.

He’s race smart on lap one and then all the midfield pack with let him through with ease. No one bothers to race with Max except the top couple unfortunately. Now Charles being back there too is the exception, could have the pace to hold him up for a few laps. Only question is can Checo or Fernando pull enough of a gap to hang on for a bit.

What happened to Piastri. I just tuned in and he is already in the back. I get Mclarren is terrible but they are where Haas and Williams were three years ago and unlike Haas and Williams they actually have resources

Contact and lost part of his front wing at the start

That race was rather boring to be honest minus Max going through the field
I was thinking the same. Kudos to Max and RB - that car flys.
For sure think RB 1 2 each race is not a crazy idea right now. Could be a long boring season.

Also sucks Alonso lost the podium like that :(
