This first session will be fun to watch, with all those rookies! But what do we reckon, Norris has this in the bag I think realistically. I'd love to see Piastri take the WDC but it just feels like he's given himself mountain to climb with that string of performances after the break.

Norris should have it in the bag, but I reckon because of that he'll underperform. Hoping Piastri can deliver at least the race win.

The race win would be nice, but also a little heartbreaking! If Norris drops the ball here... God. What a choke that would be! Honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing Verstappen win this either - it'd be a fantastic story! I'm sure I'll warm up to Norris after this season, I'm not really one hundred percent sure why I'm so disinterested in him winning the WDC. I can't even remember him really charging up to the position he's in now!

Norris has it in the bag thanks to those extra two points he got from the super unfortunate Antonelli snap that let him overtake. I can just feel a Norris third place incoming, which is enough to guarantee it for him. I feel like a VER PIA NOR podium is the destined lukewarm milk of an ending this championship battle is set for. I hope I'm wrong though.

Enjoyed that FP1 session. Lots of interesting trivia from Alex Jacques.
A. Leclerc's voice sounds exactly like C. Leclerc.

Which one is Leclerc and which one is Leclerc (Junior)?

I am much more interested in ANT-HAM, ALB-SAI, and HAD-HUL-ALO than in NOR-VER-PIA.

Anyone have Piastri yawning as a gif?

AGL FAM I am really excited about this weekend. I bet it's the most watched race ever. It'll be a nail biter
