Actually apart from the first two rows the grid is pretty mixed up...

What happened to both Red Bull? 😕😕
Reliability issues plaguing the team. 3x DNF all with Honda/Red Bull power trains.. 🤦

Only Ferrari engine outside Top10 is Mick (@11) 😲
Ferrari 1-2 proves they have the better package 😲

Yes, great job by Ferrari (and by Leclerc), big reliability problems for Red Bull, and big damage limitation for Mercedes when they don't have the car right yet. Third and fourth is a great result considering all the problems they have had… I am sure they will be stronger in the next races and will be able to fight with Ferrari and Red Bull. An unexpected podium that is celebrated as a victory 😀

Anyone catch what watch Max was wearing in the post race interview? Looked like a Carrera of sorts...

BTW… it was great to see the new Safety Car:
Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series (730 HP) 🥰

Just saw the race, liking the new specs so far, great battles. Too bad about RB, let’s hope they solve the issue by next race.
I also liked that they didn’t show the team principals once during the race 👍
Less egos on screen and better battles.

Congratulations to Ferrari! They just made this new season a whole more interesting.

Here's the race recap, for those who missed it.

I like the 2 lap battles between CL & MV 👍👍

Ferrari’s engine made a big leap (obvious with Haas and Alfa Romeo power) Red Bull can catch up but reliability issues are the utmost concern 😉

Happy to see Ferrari on top again. Historically my favorite team since I started following F1 in the 70s. 😀

Looks like it's going to be a very tough season for my second favorite team McLaren however. 🙁

Sad to see McLaren struggling. I even fancy their Google Chrome wheel covers 😉 As the first race in the new era, everything has been a test bed for everyone, so now we will see how they learn from this and bounce back 👍

One thing, if Ferrari are the car to beat, that's good because I can see Sainz and LeClerc actually fighting rather than Verstappen dominating Perez or Hamilton dominating Russell.

Couldn't believe it when Bottas outqualified Russell.

Drivers apparently still in a meeting, despite the team bosses deciding the race should continue...

It will be a huge blow to the FIA, F1 top brass and organizers of F1 Saudi Arabia if the race will not push thru. I just hope safety and security is already in place.
