It makes it so much more interesting (provided they actually go out in it!)

Nope. Only threat of annoyed groundhogs.
I’d have loved if Martin when trying to look under the Ferrari said something along the lines of
I don’t know why they’re trying to block me, no one on the grid would want to copy anything from that car anyway

Hulk penalty is ridiculous.
Sainz penalty also ridiculous for the opposite reason. And to those saying it’s not on the driver but instead on the team are utterly clueless. If you’re going slow in the middle of the track somewhere and you didn’t know someone on a flying lap was coming up, then yes that is on the team. But Sainz is crawling around towards the end of a long straight approaching a fast chicane. You don’t need the team to tell you that’s fecking moronic. It’s a shambles the stewards haven’t come down on him much harder.

This race will be like FP1, nobody will have a clue how it will run, all the rain would have washed whatever rubber was put down away.
I see a few red flags.

cracking start from Max and Lewis
Yeah both had a great start while Alonso was nowhere. Meanwhile the Mercs and Aston can match Max's pace which is very interesting.
AM looks to have some good pace, too bad about the slow start.
Odds on no yellow flag or safety car on the SC's 50th anniversary?
well…
Sargent out, has to stop the car
VSC. Good call.
Hulk train.
Both Max and Hamilton saying tyres are worse than expected
upgrades working well for both Merc's best I have seen them run all season.
Alonso holding his own
Alonso holding his own
Max has gotten away from the pack again
The Alonso/Lewis/George battle could be interesting
Perez floundering but maybe because he's on the hard tyre?

Its basically a naked track, no rubber has been put down, could that be the problem, normally by race day there is a decent amount of rubber down.
Max thinks he hit a bird !
Penalty incoming for Hamilton
Safety car. George Russell hitting something.
That's an unsafe release for Hamilton. Has to be.
looks like Russell is out.
SC out
SC out
Naughty Lewis
Oh George!
Surely red flag that barrier looks damaged?

Looked like an unsafe release. Disastrous couple of minutes for Mercedes.
why ? what have I missed ?
That’s an unsafe release
Looked like an unsafe release there with Hamilton. Pen incoming
forget it, just seen it.
Definite penalty for Hamilton there
Russel bins it
Russell lucky there could have been very nasty
Got to be unsafe release for Lewis?
5 second in coming for Lewis, cant defend that.
No Ferrari pitstop.
Mercedes pit stops have been consistently slower for a while now.
Norris now as well 
Russell has gone back out !!
I don’t think that’s an unsafe release personally, Alonso sold it well.
This kind of cheating is why I don’t want Sir Jim
