FRIDAY: the fact that Russell beat Sainz in a Ferrari straight up is impressive.  There are some drivers who just do more with less... Russell is one of those.  Wait 'till he gets into the Merc that he actually fits into... he's going to fly!  

Max continues to impress as compared to his teammates.  Perez just hasn't gotten to grips with the car just yet.

SATURDAY: I liked the Sprint qualifying format after the first try.  If Lewis gets head of Max tomorrow it'll be hard for Max to pass with Lewis' straight line speed and Max is going to have to do it all by himself against both Mercs as Perez made another unforced error and will start dead last.

Mercedes again sacrificed Bottas qualifying to help Lewis by putting him on soft tires and hoping he would jump Max at the start and let Lewis go off into the distance and blocking Max VB's tires burned off. Didn't work out this time.

Alonso is still a beast...
