That wasn't very clever from Leclerc.

What a finish for Norris again!

Perez is doing a really good job so far in these two races. He’s genuinely making the most of the RP’s early season pace.

What I really enjoy is that the midfield battle can be 12 cars now. That’s really fun to watch.

Aside from Stroll and LeClerc, it looks like we had a good grid of fairly respectful drivers today. Lots of good exciting battles to be had without people being assholes.

Bottas probably renewed for 2021: a very good start of the season and the COVID circumstances are pushing Mercedes for a stability choice.
Russell will stay put at Williams.

I think it’s certainly a pain to see two retired after only two laps each. It’s the worst conclusion to a difficult weekend for us.
So I think at the end, we do not need to hide ourselves behind our fingers. Some accident may happen when you start in the midfield.
We are not looking for responsibilities. I think it’s no time to accuse.

We have a saying in Mexico: You've already shit it, don't spread it.

Also the Renault complaint is rubbish.

What would Mercedes gain by sharing IP with Racing Point and go against the rules by doing so? What?

RP has been pretty open about "we reversed engineered last year's Mercedes so that we could tackle the changes in technical regulation with a full team". Isn't that what Dallara did for Haas in the previous years?, They'd go and copy the latest Ferrari they could, give a competitive package and then they'd wow everyone with during Free Practice in Melbourne, ony to have Haas drown in their mistakes come sunday? The only thing different here is that Perez is a better driver than Grosjean and Magnussen, combined.
