Sprint Race
Lap 8 Hamilton was still on the back of Magnussen struggling to keep pace on the straights with the HAAS. Pierre Gasly was running well in 11th behind Tsunoda who was over a second behind Hamilton's Mercedes. Magnussen began to struggle on his tyres as he skipped the run off at Turn 6 helping him keep Hamilton at bay maybe not within the rules though. Lap 10 Ricciardo had lost the DRS from Perez and Sainz was straight on the offensive but could't get it done on the 1st time of trying. Lap 11 Hamilton again tried to pass Magnussen but had to bail on the move when Magnussen hit the Mercedes and forced his way back ahead as we heard he had a penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage. Just a lap later Sainz was again, trying to pass Ricciardo but there was just no way past for the Ferrari with Piastri close behind. Hamilton & Magnussen continued their fight allowing Tsunoda and Gasly to catch the squabbling pair as again we heard Magnussen was under investigation by the Stewards and shortly after a Black and White Flag for track limits.
Grand Prix QualifyingQ1
Hamilton seemed happier in his car that yesterday's Sprint Qualifying going 3rd ahead of Leclerc when he put new soft tyres on his Mercedes as Sainz went fastest of all. Norris who was gutted not to take Sprint Pole after a mega performance in SQ1 & 2, was hoping he could make it happen today for the Grand Prix. 4 minutes to go and we saw all the dive into the pits to make the changes they want before they make their final runs to get through to Q2.
