Too many blind, high speed corners here.

So Merc cant switch on the softs quickly for quali but look to be very tidy in race trim, going to be interesting

Hamilton called to stewards for not respecting double yellows.

5 place grid drop

Yikes, big blow. Having both him and Verstappen get done for the same thing two race weekends running is quite odd, especially given how important these races are.

He's thrown the title away.

About 13 seconds in, right hand side

Sky's sportswashing of Saudi Arabia here is deeply uncomfortable.

Got away with it, probably fair based on footage

Not so sure... extremely borderline like but I thought they'd 'even it up'.

I accept it was nowhere near as clear cut as Verstappen's but still...

The Kopites will be absolutely fuming.

Might go on Twitter.

These flag indicents are just getting ridiculous now. If they are going to be all over this, then they need a far more robust system in place than simply having a marshall waving a coloured square as the drivers zip by at 200+mph. The marshall flags should be one part of it, but they need far better checks in place.

You would think in the time it takes to tell the dude to wave the flags, you could just press a button and up pops a light or sommat in each car, maybe with big sirens and whatnot?
Still wave flags, cause spectators and all. But in a sport full of technology, waving a flag seems a bit outdated.

This track is mad.
