    Just finished watching, thankfully managed to avoid spoilers. What a start to the season! Pace of McLaren is a bit ominous in terms of competitive outlook for the season however. But I hope they let them race eachother so we get a title fight at least.

    Super happy for Albon, Williams looked genuinely fast and he drove well in tricky conditions. Ferrari looked nowhere and actually slower than Williams, but it’s a weird circuit and difficult conditions so it might not be quite as bad as it looks. Hamilton looked significantly worse than Leclerc, but I guess we’re still in the “new team grace period”?

    Tough day for the rookies as you would expect with the weather, but I was extremely impressed by Antonelli. Watched his onboard all race and he had great pace even in the rain and absolutely no fear.

    Gutted for Yuki though who got the usual VCARB screw job after a blinder of a weekend performance wise. It’s enough to make you cry.
