Just how much impact does the Drag Reduction System actually have on the main straight? 😲

Because he's already losing his cool. ☕

It could be an issue with the Red Bull Racing battery. To me, it looks more like they're getting a boost from the battery rather than using the Drag Reduction System.

What a fight this has been, I don't think I can remember a time when things were this intense in Formula 1, maybe it's just me, but I guess I'm starting to really like these new cars

Max messed up; he really needed to close the gap first and then make his move in the second zone.

Looks like this new car design actually makes following and overtaking possible—this season is gonna be absolute candy 🎉

No more playing games. Just let Max Verstappen go for it like there's no tomorrow, and we'll see what happens. 😁

I guess maybe it wasn't just a coincidence that Charles Leclerc let off the gas a little bit on the starting line? The speed of the Red Bull Racing seems almost unreal, I suppose.

Sergio Perez was put on medium tires as a test for Max Verstappen. They wanted to see how long they'd last, basically trying to pinpoint the perfect window to bring Max Verstappen in.

Finally, can we get some actual racing action instead of watching Lujo-Maxić just cruise around and maybe try an overtake in the DRS zone?

🙂

Honestly, I think Ferrari with Charles Leclerc is actually a step ahead of Red Bull Racing with Max Verstappen

I guess we'll just have to wait and see how things play out once they're on tracks using the Drag Reduction System

Honestly, I didn't expect this kind of amateur hour logic from you guys.🤦🙄

Ferrari has enough power under the hood to launch a Boeing 747!

The tires wear down fast, and whoever grabs the lead gets a massive advantage. That's why Max was pushing so hard; he knew if he could just pull ahead, he'd be able to build up a gap just like what Charles Leclerc is doing right now.

Mercedes-Benz really dropped the ball by opting for those hard tires; they're just hemorrhaging time out there...

It feels like every single new season, the broadcast directors get more wasted, and the camera work gets even worse. It’s honestly unwatchable. They just give up on the actual racing; instead, you get black screens, or they switch to those three static corner cameras just to wait for cars to fight, or they zoom in so close on decals that you miss 90% of the lap. My head is spinning after just 40 minutes. This is straight-up unwatchable.

They’ve already interrupted the battle between Valtteri Bottas and Yuki Tsunoda twice now. 🤣

man... looks like they're gonna need like 4 pit stops at this rate 😬

It’s honestly great seeing such a beast of a Ferrari

McLaren really messed up the car. Such a shame, I guess.
