Verstappen not at his imperious best today, but was still only just beaten by Hamilton. He'll still win tomorrow I think. He'll take Lewis quite early, but I don't think he's going to sail off into the distance as he normally would.

I think you're right. Especially on this track. It evolved so much during qualifying and with Hamilton and Norris being in the racing line you'd expect there to be much more grip on that side especially if it hasn't rained (has it?). We'll see if that is the case but it wouldn't surprise me to see Max losing a spot or two at the start.The first few laps will be very interesting. The Red Bull tends to warm its tyres up more slowly than the cars around it, and Max will be on the dirty side of the track.
It's not entirely impossible that Norris gets past Max and he has to defend against Piastri for the first couple of laps.
The Red Bull with DRS vs the Mercedes is probably an easy overtake, but it should have more trouble against McLaren.
It's all moot, as the Red Bull is so much better with tyre wear and at pit stops that Max will have all of the options available to him
Verstappen's starts have been the weakest part of his game in recent races, so I'm hopeful it'll make the first 3 laps interesting until DRS makes the Red Bull victory a foregone conclusion.The first few laps will be very interesting.

Penalty for Zhou for causing a collision, so yeah, he was to blame for it.Zhou with the worst start here we've ever seen.
He literally caused all that nonsense for both Alpine cars too
