So far so good, dammit, no handbags today, although I know the cafe will not disappoint.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.
Patience, my young padawan
Bottas no change from last season, gets in a good position them just throws it away
HAAS look like they have a very good car.
Is Bottas driving in reverse?
Max with an engine problem ?
Oh. Thanks for this.
What is Magnusson doing?
Lewis doing well, I put him on the podium on the prediction league

Hamilton more than keeping up with the Ferrari.
Has the graphics sidebar gotten worse?
I suppose he knows he can't defend against Russel so would rather save his tires
Should be more than 5s for Ocon imo.
already asking Max to lift and coast due to brake temps.
Ocon with 5 second penalty.
Ocon with 5 second penalty.
Just tuning it. How did Leclerc start? Looks like he's driving perfectly so far
Hamilton is doing well, but he has DRS and I think that’s helping bridge the gap. I think if he gets past the Ferrari, it’d still get him back down the line
Sainz is now out of DRS and Perez is closing on Hamilton..
10 laps in, quite dull so far. I thought this season was meant to be interesting?
Certainly looking like the new cars are able to follow more closely than before. So that is good.
Perez pretty easily past Lewis
That was way to easy for Perez
Has been on it since the lights went out, no apparent mistakes.
Bono my tires are shit coming soon
Yep, based on the evidence of qualifying and first 11 laps of the first race of the season, we're winning everything this year
Surprising but Hamilton started falling back so maybe the leaders started to pick up the pace.
I read another tweet and it was worded in a way to stop teams asking whether they need to give the place back.
So they either decide within the lap or get penalised.
It’s to stop the talking to the race director in line with what happened last year.

Pretty boring stuff so far, camerawork seems shite too.
Anyone able to explain is laymen's terms how a team as dominant as Mercedes can feck the car up this badly? They’ve gone from clearly the best, to a toss up between the best of the top two, to what looks like quite clearly 3rd best (at best).. how does that happen
Lewis pitting for hards
That was some cold tires
High degradation.
Completely different regulations, and their concept isn’t working fully yet. Judge them in a few races time.
Lewis in first for hards
Whoops
Aerodynamically these cars work very differently than the past 3 years. So all the engineers essentially get a fresh look at figuring out how to make the best car, negating any built up advantage about how to get maximum performance out of the prior models.
I really really didn't think McLaren would be this bad, given they seemed to be one of the teams that had porpoising under control at testing.
Probably the biggest set of rule changes ever in F1.
They have a specific problem that Ferrari managed to resolve from testing and Red Bull’s update during the second test fixed.
They will fix it. Half a second isn’t much with new regs, once we get to the European races the grid order will settle.
EDIT - Aston Martin believe the problems they have around bouncing is costing them 0.75
Aston Martin to hot to pit 
Lewis was struggling with those hards, looked like they had no grip in, hopefully he has not flat spotted them.
WTF car can't do a pit because its too hot !!! that a new for me.
