Am I crazy or is it way too advantageous to start second? Verstappen had the best line...
This isn't a bad place to start second, but Max had a bit better start and Lando was perhaps a bit too cautious with breaks going into the first corner.
Norris could have moved over to cover verstappen off. For some reason he was too late.
Some tracks are like that, but I suppose we'll see what happens in the real race tomorrow. Though this practice/sprint race tends to ruin any surprises.
Some tracks are like that, first isn’t always best unless you have the acceleration speed to keep ahead
