Need merc to keep working on the car and things may get interesting. After a poor qualifying there race pace isn’t bad.

Red bull just way ahead of everyone. Ferrari doing well to be competitive but feel that the red bull is comfortable apart from the reliability issues.
 
Blaming the track is a bit lazy imo. Spa is an amazing track and yet hasn’t produced a single memorable race since 2008. Suzuka is world class track but again rarely produces memorable races. People just need to accept that races like this will always happen in F1 regardless of race track. No amount of regulation tweaking will change the fundamental nature of it being very hard to overtake in high downforce aero dependant cars. It’s now easier to follow but overtaking is still very hard if you are in traffic… it’s just you can now follow for longer without melting the tyres so quickly.

If you go back through the last few seasons some of the most memorable races have been on tracks it’s cool to hate on and the so called classics have produced some of the worst races.

Whether a race is good or not is often down to the weather/temps, the weekends tyre selection (and subsequent degradation)… more so than the track, with the exception of Monaco.

The track has absolutely everything; plenty of DRS zones, long straights, tight technical corners, fast weaving bends you can overtake on. To blame the track is as you say lazy.
 

FP1 or not, on the same tyres & in the same car, with no testing time at all, De Vries is ahead of Latifi. He really is an absolute embarrassment.
 
in the previous era Mercedes were absolutely dominant around this circuit. It seems to suit their design philosophy, so if they can't go well here and show measurable improvement then they may as well completely go back to the drawing board.
 
Horner with some strong words about Aston Martin, talking about how stealing IP is criminal offence etc
