Off they go!

Norris the lock up nooooooooo

Not thrilled to see Max back in the effortless winning ways as I had hoped to be delusionally hanging on to the title fight the rest of the season for personal enjoyment.

That notwithstanding, what a great sprint. COTA is just a top, top track. So much thrilling wheel-to-wheel action, this was the perfect return after the long break. Hoping for an even more action packed race tomorrow with strategy coming into play too. Even with the new tarmac the track should be fairly demanding on the tires so could be some interesting strategies tomorrow (I hope).

Ferraris look good for tomorrow

19 laps in the sprint! Can't wait.

Albon to have a pitlane start for changes to car during parc ferme.
