My goodness, wicked crash for Yuki in Q1. It’s been a while since we saw an F1 machine take a ride like this.

And now Colapinto stuffs it hard into the barrier at the end of Q1 in his first race weekend with Alpine. Hardly what that team was hoping for after swapping out Doohan.

Aston 3rd and 4th in Q1, are you telling me they brought an update that works for once?

And they knock out both Ferraris on home soil in Q2. Wow.

Norris just doesn’t have what it takes. Piastri is clearly better at this point.
Barring any catastrophes, Piastri wins his fourth in a row tomorrow. Probably by a minute. Should be some good battling for the other podium spots between Max, George, and Lando.

Alonso 5th in what was the slowest car two weeks ago, incredible.

Verstapppen is so damn talented. What a freaking pass around the outside.

Max is just incredible.
And btw. that not-Crofty commentator doesn't exactly sound great.

Lando makes an impressive overtake for once.

Chuck is undercutting a lot of people. Did Ferrari pull a good strategy move?

He is really becoming more and more fearless as if
he has decided he has no choice to be that way
with McLarens current domination. It will be interesting to
see if Max can keep this lead for the win.

It's tough to pass here and Max will have a huge tire advantage once he pits.

Piastri is losing decent chunks of time in traffic. Norris hasn’t managed to cut into the lead much at all either. Looking pretty good for Max at the moment.

VSC, it's now a very real possibility that Alex gets a podium for Williams.
Max ahead by a country mile.

Great VSC timing for Red Bull after being on the wrong end of it in Miami.

4th for now, I thought he had Lando covered.

While this weekend is a giant step ahead compared to Miami for Aston, they're gonna end up without any points once again.

Seems like they nailed it with both cars. I imagine Leclerc will get Hadjar and they’ll finish P5/P6 in some order. Chuck might get to battle with Lewis by the end of it on the hard tires.

I think minus the VSC we're talking 4th(?) for Chuck.

Another NASCAR safety car.
This EXACT SAME situation led to a VSC earlier.
No reason for a full SC except racertainment.

Norris isn't gonna catch Max anyway.

Very good pass by Norris, that was tight. I’m glad McLaren let them fight instead of just ordering the swap.

Don’t think that’s penalty-worthy for Leclerc. That’s fair play based upon how the rules are written.

Max ain't out of this championship. Oscar just wasn't aggressive enough at the start and Max was never seen again.
What a race btw. Damn shame it was more than likely the last one at Imola. Too many passes to be counted. Can we just scrap compounds C1, C2 and C3 from now on?
Alonso almost snuck into the points at the end but couldn't pass Tsunoda. Still a great weekend for Aston, first time an upgrade has gone well in two years.

Max looked like Jimmie Johnson out there today. One display of incredible racing talent, leading in dominating fashion, and a golden horseshoe up his ass

F1 has actually offered a logical explanation for the Safety Car.
Ocon's car was still parked at that spot so there wasn't any space for Antonelli's car and it had to be transported uphill.
