This was a shambles event. Funny to watch yes but a load of pish and dangerous. Half the race under VSC as crazy stewards rally into the racing line to pick up random bits of aero.
Verstappen fastest in FP1 but Merc run slower modes in the first session so doesn't mean much. It could hint that at least the RB's will be competitive though? FP2 begins in around an hour. Perez 4th. Jack Aitken finishing above Latifi also.

Hamilton getting baited by Verstappen
Only one of them has been getting baited and it isn't Hamilton.

Very curious to see Perez and Bottas role in this race. Also Alpha Tauri's are on the pace. Lots of potentially controversial scenarios to play out. Especially if Mercs do an alternate pit strategy and end up on the same part of the race track as Gasly and/or Tsunoda.
You don't want to go down in F1 history as a "Glock" but you also have to do what your employer tells you - in this case taking orders from Helmut Marko/Dietmar Mateschitz rather than Horner/Tost.
