Yeh that new camera is amazing, genuinely one of the best sports viewing innovations in years. The information on the steering wheel, the view (lack of) for the drivers is just immense to take in.
As for the report, it is what it is now, and time to move on. Ultimately Masi has toon the fall, and I actually think that’s probably fair and right. He was out of his depth and panicked and allowed himself to be backed into a lose lose corner. Let’s move on, concentrate on the new season and hopefully we’ll have a battle between 3 teams in a few races.

I think the F1 will be ecstatic that Ferrari look to be back, a battle between them, Mercedes’ red bull and hopefully mclaren would be the absolute ideal scenario.

Think F1 needs a third team to spoil the big two party. It needs something to try and regain its lost credibility from last year. Some great camera shots will enhance the coverage

Interesting grid with K-Mag in the mix and Ferrari on pole. I can't see the winner coming from outside the top 4 but you never know. I think it's damage limitation for Merc.
The fact we have Alfa Romeo and Haas in 6th & 7th on the grid (plus Ferrari on pole) would seem to suggest that Ferrari have made better progress with their engine than the others.

Shame about McLaren, who seemed to be looking good in testing.

Yes I'd expected more from McLaren, I can understand Riccardo being off the pace but a shame to see them both down the order. Haas are being called the white Ferrari ? reminds me of the tracing point team ?

A win for Fernando, Nico, Sergio, Daniel, Valtteri, Kevin, Max, Esteban, Carlos, Lance, Pierre, Charles, George, Lando, Nicholas, Alexander, Guanyu, Mick or Yuki would make me happy today :LOL:

I think it’s clear to see that after last years ending the interest in F1 has hugely increased - with the added bonus is Ferrari being competitive this season has the potential to be a cracker. Verstappen winning last year could be the best thing to happen to the sport

Overall an enjoyable race with some good overtaking. Bonkers finish and RB will have to be concerned how both cars packed up with a few laps to go. All in all I'd say the changes have had a good effect and hopefully we'll see more good racing.

Also funny to watch Verstappen getting more and more stressed over the radio.

Can you imagine the outrage on the internet if Lewis spoke like that during a race?

It was a good race, the new cars looked like they could follow and race side by side. They also looked a bit of a handful to drive.

It was interesting to see the new rules of engagement curtailing Max’s aggressive overtaking and defending. Leclerc more than had the measure of him.

If Mercedes can unlock some speed it will be a cracking season with 3 teams racing at the front.
