happier with this weekend than the miami weekend so that's that's really really positive the qualifying form was was the big problem early on because i was really holding him back but he's taking a step there yes he had the different the new chassis in in miami it's only about two kilos difference in weight so a little bit of performance in that but actually the big step for colopinso is he's just as he talked about

He did quite a lot of work before Miami, just kind of understanding where he can improve as well.

And he's applied that really, really impressively, which is good.

And I'm hoping this is kind of his new baseline and he's there and he's consistently putting on his performances we know he's capable of.

If he continues at this level, then absolutely he'll stay on with Alpine, won't he?

Which will be very, very good news because as we've always said, there's a driver in there in Colopinto and we've seen it in fits and starts and not so much Alpine, but now we're really seeing it.

So I think that's extremely positive.

Yeah, absolutely, and good work to him.

I know there's sort of this push to try and attribute it all to things Alpine have done, but I think that does call up into actually a huge disservice.

um he's he's made a he's made a very very good step just in terms of stringing all together those flashes so uh hopefully this is what we'll continue to see there's no reason why not right josh shane h says i don't want to be overly negative as i think both the sprint race and the main race were really enjoyable and action-packed but i don't understand why this season we don't seem to get replays of key moments and incidents like we've done in the past it's

Is F1 trying too hard to show that the product is fine and there are no problems in F1?

By focusing on the action rather than telling the story of the race, I would have loved to have seen multiple replays from different angles of so many parts of that race today that we just didn't get.

Yeah, the thing that does puzzle me, because it's really difficult to do the live broadcast, there's a lot of cars on track, a lot of different places to look at.

But I find, I don't really understand, and sometimes it can be difficult to know where to slot them in, but specific incidents where people have gone off, or where there's a collision, or a colopinto, if you can't find a place for those, I mean, I would question, are they being picked up?

I don't know.

I don't know what the reason is for it, but they are significant things that need to have a place because they're key things.

There was something in the sprint racing that I think I'm right in saying.

I always have to be a bit careful because I'm looking at loads of different feeds and onboards and things, and sometimes I'm not necessarily... Well, I'm definitely far from the best person to judge the main feed, but I think there was a Hulkenberg off that lost several places in the sprint race that was never shown and things like that that...

just a slightly oddly not included.

And timing where you insert replays can be difficult because sometimes things happen and people say, oh, why were they showing this replay when that was happening?
