I'm in the office on a bank holiday, and nobody else is  

Time to go through some old threads

Why???

It may have contributed, but Lando was reeling everyone in before that VSC

I think the suggestion is it was damaged when he hit the bollard/cone/post which was before the SC wasn’t it?

I just filled up with diesel at 154.9 at a supermarket 

Max says that his car had floor damage / hole which might explain why it couldn’t compete with the Mclaren.

Hopefully it’s just some sour grapes and the Mclaren genuinely is very quick.

So why did you go into the office at all when you hate the people there?

Cos I had to go to see some prototype cars being built. The plan was to stay in the office for the day but I couldn’t cope

It would be really good for the season if the Mclaren could regularly compete with Red Bull. Piastri also showed he had some amazing pace too.

One of the biggest hates of working in the main work office is listening to people eating their food at the desk. I have absolutely zero tolerance for it now.

If it’s just lunch then no problem, I’ll go for a little walk, but the other day I was sat next to an all day grazer. I had to leave and go home.

Still buzzing this morning. Proper chuffed for Lando.

When was the last time Max didn't win a race that he finished? Singapore last year?

I think they said it was 20 races since he was beaten on the track.

The BBC has been pushing all kinds of demonstrably untrue agendas since election results were starting to be announced.

There has been a lot of shouting at the telly in our house and most of it was the missus

The ludicrous projected share of the vote stat has been at the heart of some of it etc.

Still top story, crazy

Only vaguely following this. Did something happen to Verstappen of was Norris just quicker? Hell of a turnaround if so, people were talking about the possibility of Verstappen winning every race this season. 

Norris done him for speed, he got in front via a safety car but he was so fast he just vanished into the distance. He’d have caught and passed him anyway

yeehaaa Well done Lando!

Everyone terrified of a safety car  

Norris still pulling away from Max, insane pace in that car now.

4 second lead and growing, the pace is very much there. It’s in the hands of the gods now.

Everyone wants Lando to get this done

Has Lando got it in him? 

 

He might, but I don’t think the car does. 

Edit: early signs are I’m very wrong

This just got interesting!

Has Zak brown joined the sky team?

I think that some of the team bosses agree to be contactable all weekend, and this weekend ZB is doing it. 

Mclaren’s looking really quick

Perez looking really shit 

I’m disappointed there’s no fly over

Moyes must be hours away from the sack 

The BBC website has had the same top headline all day (Suella: Sunak must own the defeats), quite unusual of them.
