    The TV director is really starting to get on my nerves, far too many replays for too long…

    Could the FIA not just pay Williams to not show up from now on? Better for everyone.

    Well that was a nice finish to the race. You have a feeling Charles and Max will be doing that quite a bit this year.

    Well at least Lewis got some bad luck Today.

    Nice to hear Charles congratulate Max on that win, no signs of manipulation or craziness.

    Great to see the passing and re-passing but could do without the bluffing into the last corner silliness. Great driving from the top 2, Verstappen got a bit of luck but I thought the Red Bulls had the pace advantage today.

    That race, no safety car, bit more knowledge on tyres could've been even more fun, the hard tyres didn't really seem to work as hoped/expected.

    Delighted K Mag kept ahead of ham.

    Love that after all the moaning mid race you can tell Leclerc and Max are having the time of their lives properly racing.

    Perez will be gutted he didn't come in a lap later.

    What an amazing race, these drivers are incredible to watch battling for the lead. I thought Charles had the upper hand but Max pulled it off in the end. This is really shaping up to be a classic season.

    Sky and netflix scrambling for shots of Max and Charles looking menacingly at each other to create a rivalry storyline

    We'll see how long this respect lasts when we're into the vinegar strokes of the season and there's a Championship on the line.

    Coulthard does good interviews, and is an excellent pundit, Sky should hire him and get him on the panel.

    You can see Max and Charles both enjoy racing each other and respect each other. Unlike when Max and Lewis raced, it doesn't feel like they'll take each other out.

    Great finish to the race. Second race where we see Leclerc gaming the drs line. He's right to do it but it really shouldn't be a strategy, creates all sorts of odd behaviour. The drs zones need to be calibrated to ensure that isn't an option. Coulthard called it a "new form of racing". I disagree, they need to cut out the possibility.

    Absolutely. They'll come into contact with each other sooner rather than later and it will be interesting to see if it's all sunshine and lollipops then.

    I think those things disqualify him from Sky given the usual state of their coverage.

    Though Jenson is great in fairness, would be nice to see him take more of a role.

    He Co owns the company producing Channel 4s coverage (Whisper Productions) so he's going nowhere.

    It’s merchandising, they’ve been doing that for a year or two. You can buy a square on a flag for a given race, they put your name in it and then after the race you get sent out that square cut out from the flag in a display case with a photo of it being waved.

    It’s expensive enough, but I did consider doing it for Abu Dhabi last year. I regret not doing it given how that race finished.

    The close racing is great but something needs to happen with DRS.

    It can't be advantageous to concede your place in certain parts of the track.
