Merc looked dead in the water a few weeks ago, now they look racy again. Guess those upgrades did a lil something. Let's hope race pace will be good as well.

Upgrades and the new pirelli tyres, which ironically were introduced after the Verstappen blowout.

That last out lap was extreme levels of fukkery

When Hamilton is doing well or wins, the crying on Twitter is out of this world.. Makes people that don't really watch the sport want to root for him..

Just reading the comments today, all of these Max stans are angry as fuk..

The best part about it is, they are angry about something the media manipulated to make it seem like it was a bigger deal than it actually was, but no they are so far in their feelings they are tying themselves in knots to justify it.

Rain in the F3 race!!!

Most excitement I've had for a race all season....

What we thinking about turn 1? Softs enough of an advantage for RB?

Lewis really needs to nail the start he's been hit and miss from starts this season

Max's starts have been great and consistent.
Lewis has been all over the place, but Max is in 3rd place.

Unless it's another Imola with a ton of wheelspin Lewis should stay ahead.

At that stage If Max can't get in front of Bottas it is probably over barring a freak occurrence.

If Max does get in front Lewis, Lewis should be about to apply consistent pressure to damage Max's tyres early, but his may not be in the best shape by the time Max pits.

Intriguing all around.

Will be interesting if there's not a decent amount of rubber put down during the pre-main event races after all of the rain earlier, too.

Should be tough to get past both Mercedes for Max, and I'd imagine that there is very little interest in any continuation of hostilities from both teams. He'll have to deal with any fast starters behind him with cars in front too. Makes it all very compelling.

Hopefully Lewis gets away cleanly.

To be fair, they have a skinnier rear wing, so in theory it should be better in the Merc.

They got saved because they don't need to start on softs and since it's not pouring rain it increases variability.

Today is going to delicious fukkery

rain

Lewis thinking dry tires are the way to go if the rain stays at the same intensity. A lot of back and forth chatter about what to do.
