Gasly nice lap
Wow Hamilton and Verstappen are crazily close
Max and Lewis is is close, very close 2 100th between them
feckin commentators annoying, going on like it's the dying seconds of Q3 
Keep it up Max
My 3 fantasy team drivers are currently top 3. Hope it stays this way!
This Red Bull is not very good.
Another shit season where Lewis can stroll to the prize at second gear. I hope I am wrong here

C'mon Lewissss!
Big gap
Holy shit!?! 4/10's. Fuuuuuck!
Monster lap for Max .4 ahead over Lewis !!!
Saved his best till last.
Shaping up to be a cracking race.

Yes! Beautiful max
4 tenths with a damaged floor on Verstappen's car. Yeah, think we can say Mercedes aren't sandbagging...
Game on. This is what we've been waiting for. Max v Lewis. Finally.
Ok now we know Red Bull have the fastest car, this is going to be a good season. Merc have a fight on and it’s clear they don’t have that car hooked up yet, it’s game on! Finally!
This is what we want to see. Lewis having to fight against a quick car and driver.
Reverse jinx worked. About time, come on Max. Now only if Ferrari could up their game a bit.
Red Bull have massively improved over the close season.
Looks like we have the top off the table fight the fans want.

wow, 0.4 sec ahead, that's amazing
4 tenths, get in Max
Leclerc only a tenth off Bottas
Hamilton moved his sign up front. Congratulations.
Purple in all 3 sectors. Max's fans can at times be grating, but wow what a driver he is. Super excited if we'll get to see him and Hamilton battle it out this year.
You just know Max is going to have a crash tmr to hand Lewis the win
I just hope reliability and race pace don't deny us a Lewis vs Max (and hopefully others) fight all through the season, coming down to the last race for the title decider...
I think the race pace is pretty close based on practice, it could be a good one this.
Man Verstappen is 100% the most talented driver on the grid
The hype is real finally.
That new Honda engine really good this year
That new Honda engine really good this year
Unusually fun qualifying
he'll probably crash into Hamilton, as dave matthews would say
That RB is so quick. The honda engine is bloody impressive seeing how quick the alpha tauri are. This will be a huge wakeup call for Mercedes. Looks like high rake is the way to go this season.
Alonso with a brilliant 9th on the grid.
Alonso with a brilliant 9th on the grid.
Has been for a while imo, but hard to take on that monster of a Merc
That's really impressive when you think back to their time with Mclaren.
Shake they're quitting F1 after this season
