Not a suprise, the Renault CEO said they were in F1 for advertising and selling cars not winning races and championships.
F1 2024 Season

- Start date
The whole field within 1 second... wow!
Amazed they still can't make these teams get their cars out of the pitlane quick enough, it's incredibly pointless.
Glad Alonso left Alpine for AM.
Track temp not helping and the wind , apparently.
Can see Hamilton struggling again in Q2
Stewards looking at Russell from Q1
Stewards have 'noted' Mercedes' George Russell for failing to follow the race director's instructions and adhering to the maximum delta time in Q1.

Piastri and Alonso could have been driving that car.
Max is back.
How inevitable.
Max with a monster Q2 lap, half a second faster
TV off and all those things.
But Max on new and Lando on used ?
He's back and he's pretty rapid, 6/tenths on Lando there as well.
You have to wonder why all other drivers than Verstappen suck at this.
2024 season over. 
Queueing in the pit lane ?
Thought there was rules in place to stop it ?

Phew made it back in time for half of Q2
Haas doing better than alpine?
Perez better not mess up my predictions, I've put him about 6th as I don't trust him

Q3
This is where we should be seeing for the first time , just how fast they are.

Oooh, This seems exciting!
Still think RB to be faster in the race. But 2 Ferraris vs 1 RB might help!

Lawrence really needs to tell his son he isn't that good, bad parenting.
I think I'm going to regret considering Charles for pole but not selecting him in the end...
Ham on used tyres.
Max on new soft I think, but still a second down is not good
I think Charles will get pole if he puts new tyres on
Should have put Charles on pole.
Yep. Considered him but thought Max just wasn't showing his full pace in practice, as he sometimes does
Alonso is pretty awesome.
Alonso new softs empty track , tenth behind Nax
Hamilton 8th FFS that’s poor
formula 1 is dead
Make that P9
Max on pole , well should could have predicted that and by 0.228
Shocking qualifying
His head is already in Ferrari.
Hamilton has just lost that couple of tenths over 1 lap and in this kind of grid that's 9th instead of 3rd. Gives him way too much to do in the races where he is strong, needs to start setting the car up for one lap and just dealing with it.
