At least Lewis kept it on the track unlike Fernando and Carlos and was less than 3 seconds behind his teammate in a new car that he had never driven in the wet before while Fernando and Sainz were embarrassing compared to their supposed inferior teammates. Just saying.

I was really happy to see Oscar pass Louise near the end to demote the Ferrari driver down another position! I think Eccles is right, Louise's best days are all behind him!

Brilliant result for Williams and Albon but where was Sainz ? Better than expected from Mercedes especially Kimi. Red Bull still got it, no surprise there. Stroll disproving his critics. Ferrari, what went wrong?

I really have to work on my maths its of course 7 and not 10 to Lando, did i detect a note of desperation as Hannah just couldn't get past Albon, even with his engineer doing his best to help multiple times, I thought Lucy was expert in the rain?

Thats a win win scenario for Max, only losing 8 instead of 15...!

What a season-opener despite the phase without barely anything happening for a bit & quite a few car control losses among both inexperienced & experienced drivers, which shows how difficult the track conditions were.
A great start for Lando regardless (even if the other garage side didn't get a good result for a start), but the stranded car recovery processes were unnecessarily slow as was the unlapping process the first time around, which partly contributed to Ollie ending up lapped almost immediately after unlapping for the first time.
I also noticed that Bortoleto's Sauber's front-right suspension was damaged even before the concrete wall contact.
I don't think he & Lawson had contact before, though, or at least nothing on the world feed with quite a few passes & situations going unseen due to how much happened in a short span when the rain intensified & further SC neutralizations occurred.
A good start for Sauber as well as Stroll, Albon, & Antonelli.
Anthony Hamilton going by Hadjar was an interesting sight & I ultimately understand the immediate start procedure abandonment instead of starting the second formation lap straight away as usual.
