And for what it's worth the quali format was rad to watch trackside, whilst hearing the commentators and having the f1 app open on my tablet with full list of drivers and times

Until the last 4 minutes when it was empty track and even the commentators didn't know what to say

Apparently it's too late to change tyre allocations so they're both stuck with what the other chose for the next few races.

It's a shame Kvyat didn't find out in advance.

"Yes Max, so for Spain you've got 15 sets of the hard tyres, 1 set of radials from a 1963 Ford Fairlane and what appears to be a watermelon with a crudely drawn picture of a penis on it".

What an excellent post

"It's imposable to overtake at Monaco" M brundle before the race. "Dan dare last of the late breakers" M Brundle when someone manages it with a suicide move.

It will be either be a boring parade which in hindsight you wish you had turned off after the first lap, or random cars will break down or end up in a wall bringing out multiple safety cars so you end up with 11 cars crossing the line, and people who should not be scoring points ending up in fifth.

Sounds only fitting for the jewel in The crown of f1
