Throw away all the oil money race tracks and have multiple races here

Max and Lando went into the sunset
Alpha Tauri looking good for the real race tomorrow.
What an absolute stonker of a race! Possibly the best sprint this year. Hopefully the main race is also this entertaining!
Hats off to the direction and F1tv commentary!
Amazing how good are the Alpha Tauris at nursing the tires
Yeah, Yuki was a few tenths of a second faster than LeClerc in the last few laps after following LeClerc for the entire race. A few more laps and Yuki would've had a good chance to overtake LeClerc, which is insane to think about.
Yes Yuki
This sprint race might be the best of any race this season so far. So much going on.
Is this what happens when you take 'managing' down in importance?
Pretty exciting so far. Lots of close racing and overtaking.
OK, that was a sick pass of Perez by Hamilton. Goddamn.
Perez better pick it up.
What a fantastic sprint. Just pure, clean racing. Hope to have more of them in the future.
I'm liking that Checo is proving on track that he can be the best number 2. Vamos Checo!
He was closest to his team mate?
I agree he put in a strong race, but I suspect his goose is cooked at this point. It's surely too late when you've got Ric, Law and Tsu all waiting eagerly in the wings.
If he can consistently finish 2-4 and qualify better, he can help play pit games. That's all that's needed to keep his spot. I don't think Tsunoda or Lawson are safe choices so he'd need to do many mistakes like in Mexico before that could become real imho.
You may well be right. I guess Tsuonda and Lawson would probably fare no better fundamentally and lack Perez's experience, but an on-form Ricciardo is a juicy prospect, surely?
I always love those shots from the front where a car appears from another one to make a pass. Like what we just saw with Perez on Russell. Very cinematic.
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.
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.
Norris could have moved over to cover verstappen off. For some reason he was too late.
Some tracks are like that, first isnโt always best unless you have the acceleration speed to keep ahead
Oof Lando dropped 2 places. Doesn't look like he tried to push hard on that first corner.
Perez down 2 places as well.
Danny only .3 behind Sainz..
SAI is lucky that RIC is right behind PIA, and distracts him, because the Ferraris are degrading like mad.
Perez dropping back from Lando? Used up his tires working his way forwards, maybe..
