Oh Ferrari. 🙈

There is a long way to go yet.

Absolute chaos. Who knows how this one is going to end!

Max is going to win this!

The BBC has this as the top five, which I thought was appropriate for Max.

1,. Esteban Ocon (Alpine)
2.Max Verstappen (Max Verstappen)
3.Pierre Gasly (Alpine)
4.George Russell (Mercedes)
5.Lando Norris (McLaren)

Certainly looks that way now! I don't think Ocon will make it easy for him though

What a mess this weekend has been for the 30th anniversary of Senna that Brazil wanted to celebrate.

The weather has not played cricket at all for them.

Yes to pp who said we won't know the finishing order until some time after the race is run.

Mercedes is being investigated for changing tyre pressures before the restart. If true that's probably a DQ for both drives. I can't believe Mercedes would be so stupid. For fucks sake.

And that red flag has pretty much handed the race to Verstappen. No way Occon can keep him behind for long in that Alpine.

What a mess

We might know the result by Tuesday 😅

Poor Nico, been black flagged :(

Sadly I agree.

Absolute chaos. Just as an aside though, I think Bernie Collins is great. She is so eloquent and concise with all her information and explanations. I feel like I understand things now!

Hulkenberg has been disqualified after Marshalls helped his car get back on track.

Is there anyone out there without a penalty?

I agree, Bernie is great.

Love Bernie!!

Me? Though I have just helped myself to the last bit of flapjack so there's possible one coming...

Bernie is great, very clever woman, brilliant advert for women in engineering (and amazing people from NI)

Love Bernie (love that my two Northern Irish little girls will grow up hearing her, that's so important - but I love her for me too).

Loving the chaos. Max has had a brilliant day.

Can't believe the number breaking the regs today, really really bad stuff.

@GrouchyKiwi that's brilliant, and so apt re Max.

Still half a race to go Max isn't a shoe in yet

Wouldn't bet against him. A fun second half ahead.

Total carnage today poor Carlos! 🙈

FFS - was enjoying Ocon leading.
So far this has been a mess for Norris

Although he hasn't been helped by the pit stop decision and red flag timing, Norris just isn't good enough. He is not as good a driver as Verstappen, who is undoubtably a great driver, even if I disagree with some of his racing tactics.
