If Antonelli swerves to the right to cut off Piastri, Norris could attempt to overtake Antonelli on the outside of Turn 1. If Antonelli has a perfect start, he got more room to negotiate (sharp) Turn 1 wider, ahead of Piastri. Possibility of trouble in Turn 1.

And then further on comes the wall in Turn 16 (!)

Hamilton has to be sick.

My guess is ANT will get gobbled up at the start, flash in the pan for the sprint quali but may still finish ahead of RUS. Main race quali and race will seperate the big boys from the kids and a good opportunity for MAX to sweep up should ANT be stamped on

interestingly, Stroll did not complain to the FIA about being blocked by Verstappen when he was doing his fast lap. not that it would have mattered to Stroll, but that would normally attract a 3 place grid penalty.

also RBR kindly put Yuki and Doohan out of SQ3 lol.

16 is a lucky number of mine and I'm hoping for the best for when they come clattering onto this very turn for the first time, with that said come on Ollie !

No, Doohan's late release was because of his teammate and with other traffic, his steering lock didn't clear the pit wall and lost time being pushed back.
Nothing to do with RBR or Tsunoda.

Sad thing is Charlie has never known anything better than a Ferrari

Would have loved to see him in the MB rocket years. Or some past RB's or this years MCL. Charlie will never know his true potential. Neither will we

Only 4 hours between the Sprint (12am) and GP Qualies (4pm): it's in the drivers best interests to avoid a crash by all means: a seriously damaged car during the Sprint = considerable risk of not getting the car ready for the GP qualies = bad GP grid position tomorrow.

Very likely Piastri and Norris will attempt to 'sandwich' Antonelli in Turn 1. Let's see whether Norris and Piastri fully realize that they got a lot to lose with a Turn 1 entanglement.

Verstappen (P4), Russell (P5) and Leclerc (P6) could benefit from a possible 'hot moment' in Turn 1 between Antonelli, Piastri and Norris.

To get an idea of what to expect in Turn 1: keep a close eye on how Antonelli, Piastri and Norris will position their cars inside their 'grid box' right before the Sprint start: Piastri (P2) and Norris (P3) probably straight with front wheels straight, ready for a straight McLaren catapult launch towards Turn 1; Antonelli (P1) probably slightly positioned inwards to the right inside his grid box, ready to defend P1 track position against a forseeable Piastri divebomb on the inside.
