If they hadn't said it was supposed to look like their 2002 livery would you have guessed?

I don't think I would.

Lando Norris had strong words for critics of his first-lap move on team mate Oscar Piastri:

"If you fault me for just going on the inside and putting my car on the inside of a big gap then I think you shouldn’t be in Formula 1."

'Everyone around the circuit has stopped what they're doing, they've got to a barrier, they've got to a seat, because they know that this is going to get very interesting...'

And then the race director red flags and abandons the race.

Russell on mediums, Verstappen on softs so either Verstappen will be leading at the end of lap one or they'll both be in a barrier.

This is George Russell's second pole position of the season and coincidentally the top four on the grid is exactly the same as when he started up front in Canada:

The stewards said Hamilton did not go below the minimum time limit (i.e. did not drive too fast) but also they would have liked him to slow down more.

Surely the conclusion to draw from that is the minimum time limit should be raised?

Hamilton is under investigation for "failing to comply with a red flag."

This is the same regulation Bearman broke at Silverstone when he crashed while pitting under a red flag. He was given a 10-place grid drop plus four penalty points.

The stewards have now withdrawn the document referring to Norris and replaced it with a new one indicating he is also being summoned over a potential "unsafe release by car 16." So neither of the documents now refer to a potential "unsafe release by car 4".
