That was a weird crash, who gets the blame there?

Latifi has to be binned soon, he is brutal
I didn’t expect it to be this soon after his previous off, there is better pay drivers out there, is pastor still racing he was at least a quality racer
We like to take the piss out of stroll for his daddy paying his way at least the prick can drive and knows the on track etiquette.
What happened, are they coming out once more?
I know some teams need the money paid driver bring, but get drivers that can actually drive, Latifi is a joke, Stroll is not much better to be honest.
The thing that made me question it was Stroll being out like he was going for a Sunday drive. Dunno if Latifi thought feck it and went for the overtake.
well done to Aston getting Seb out
If Seb even gets out of Q3 id will be an achievement.
Lewis and Russell missed the flag
Reliability issues happening more than previous years
It would have been a very tall order to get out of Q3, but amazing effort to even get Seb out
once again it looks like Mercedes are struggling to get out of Q2
My goodness that porpoising in Sainz"s car. Must be nightmare to drive that car.
103 races later, Bottas is out in Q2
He has made it to Q3 in every race since joining Mercedes, but in his third race in the Alfa-Romeo, Bottas is out in Q2.
He is in 12th.

Perez fastest in Q2
It's Red Bull topping the timesheet at the end of Q2 as well, but this time it's Perez who has done the quickest lap with a 1:18.340. However, he's also under investigation for failing to slow down under yellow flags.
Ferrari pair Sainz and Leclerc round out the top three, with Verstappen fourth fastest.

It was stroll more than latifi.
And he does this sort of thing all the time. Never uses his mirrors
Sainz lap ruined 
Rich Canadian drivers lighting up proceedings a bit
FFS Alonso luck.
He was on a fast lap too
SAINZ ROBBED!!
What happened to Sainz final lap there? Gutted for Alonso.
Very good pole for Leclerc.
Very disjointed qualifying, but it was decent.

Make a mistake by going wide at turn 6 said Brundle i believe.
I know I keep banging this drum but they literally have two side pod designs. The cars been a dog from the outset and they’ve tried to fix it by being radical with new design.
It actually makes sense now how much they caught up to redbulls last year after 5-6 rounds. I think by that time they realised they had a dog and went balls to the wall with last season to get a title before the inevitable.
Australian GP Qualifying Result
I’m pleased to see McLaren performing well after a couple of stinkers
Bad luck streak for ALO does not end, hydraulic issue on downshifting so he couldn't slow the car down for Turn 11. Purple in sector 2 so was provisionally top3/4
Yeah It could be, I think Mercedes are the 3rd team , but the others are getting closer all the time, No upgrades this race has brough them even closer.
Not even top 3 he was on course for pole. As fast as the Ferraris in the 1st sector and 3 tenths faster than everyone in the 2nd sector. No luck, just pain.
Once Alpine sort their reliability issues then we can see Alonso on Podium in this season.
Think that's just about right - they have a higher level of base performance than Alpine but between the two teams Alonso looks to have the highest ceiling at the moment. That said, it is disconcerting he's already on his 3rd PU!
Damn, did Hamilton slow down Russell on his warm up lap?
good start to fantasy league , hope it carries on to the race, my top 10 is 75 % correct and with fastest lap and pole.
Stroll (correctly) penalised for the red flag in Q1. Personally don't think Latifi did anything wrong - he pulled aside because he was told someone was on a hot lap, then he saw Stroll going slowly and didn't want to get stuck behind. There was an obvious gap and he went for it - if Stroll had even a notion of what a mirror is everything would have been fine.
Stroll's interview after qualifying was hilarious - completely unable to defend himself and he just kept going on about how "it was awkward".

Yeah agreed. Unlucky for latifi to be involved. Stroll has a history of this and his interview after qualifying was class. A man who knows he is very much in the wrong.
He's done this sort of thing so many times. Worst driver on the grid, especially when it comes to awareness.
I Agree watched it a few times now and Stroll was at fault.
Expensive weekend for Aston.

I suck at Fantasy Leagues and yet I still play them. Haha.
OH believe me most of the time so do I.
