It's the moment of truth. 3 minutes to the start and everything can happen. If Norris wants the championship he must lunge and take the first corner otherwise I'm not sure if the DRS Zones are enough for a pass.

Risking anything at the start isn't necessarily worth it. Just be safe, they should have the pace through the race.

Zak made the same comment. He thinks the car is a good race car and no need to take huge risks at the start.

What do you think. Was Max at fault. Did he drive Lando out of bounds?

He didn't take a risk but was forced off there.

I mean, it's pretty obvious Max is going to do Max things.

Hard racing maybe but drivers will stop yielding when on outside and we'll start to get crashes because of it. This "force people off" is not going to last.

So I'm not mistaken. Max has done one of his usual shoves.

Verstappen isn't going to change his ways unless he gets a race ban or more I think. Guy is a menace.

In the meantime good job from Oscar Piastri. Let's see if he can catch Max now. He's close so far.
