Both Williams in Q3. Lets fucking go

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Haha and one is ahead of both Ferraris. This sparks so much joy

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Not a good showing for Ferrari but I'll take it

[โ€“] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Was Perez bad or is the Red Bull simply undriveable if you're not Verstappen?

Did Ferrari go after Hamilton simply for the ad revenue and not for possible future race results?

Is there a point to Aston Martin if they keep going backwards each season?

:P

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

The setup changes Red Bull made based on the late simulator runs seems to have made it competitive at the expense of making jt hard to drive.

Does not look good for Red Bull if they haven't tamed that same behaviour from last year as eventually it got so bad even Max couldn't drive it. Does not bode well for their season.

Lawson is clearly struggling because of this, as did Checo as they just aren't that the same level as Max in a bad car. Yuki is doing so well, and Red Bull will be like "I'm going to pretend I didn't see that."

Was Perez bad or is the Red Bull simply undriveable if you're not Verstappen?

The red bull pretty difficult to drive. It has pace but suffers from understeer and oversteer at different stages of corners, sometimes even in the same corner. If you are somehow able to dance on this knife edge, you can extract some good laps but for that one needs to be ridiculously talented and adaptable like max, fernando, lewis(the ferrari stint will determine our views on his adaptability), etc.

The fact is even max says he doesn't like the how the current red bull handles and struggles to keep it under control. Just imagine how hard it must be to handle for others

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I think we can already make reasonable assessments about Hamilton's (lack of) adaptability from the last few years of Mercedes, can't we? He's clearly struggled with that car whenever it's not felt just the way he likes it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Frankly, until last year, he was still outperforming russell in the races and in the championship positions

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

He looked better when the car was good, but worse when the car was bad. Which is kind of what I meant, he didn't seem as adaptable even though his ceiling in terms of race pace was higher than Russel's.

  • Bearman washed
  • Lawson washed
  • Antonelli washed
  • Hulk washed
  • Ferrari washed

We're so back

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Williams notably NOT washed

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Tsunoda 5th! Albon 6th!

Not Ferrari's finest showing.

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Austrian commentary right now: "Piastri now has 7 front-row lockouts without a pole. That stat was also held by Bruce McLaren."

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Boy is meant to be McLaren's golden child.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A Sauber knocking out a Mercedes. Q1 is starting off interesting.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

The field is so close

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Bad weekend for Bearman turning to worse :/

Loving the updated driver cams with their wider FOV. Gives a better sense of speed.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Yuki channeling all his hate and anger over being overlooked for the red bull seat into lap time

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lawson continuing the tradition of the Redbull No.2...๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Good enough. Welcome back Checo /s

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Williams vs Ferrari. Close enough welcome back 1997.

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Hope that Williams has the race pace to make this even more interesting.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Bortoletto, wow. Beat Hulk fair and square.

Not a great quali lap for Lawson.

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'll reiterate what I said regarding Antonelli and Lawson. Outqualified by Bortoletto in a Sauber.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Doohan cleared all the rookies, he is safe for the moment.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I made that comment after Q1.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I think Antonelli had unfortunate floor damage and Lawson seemed to have cooked his tires midway through the lap. Tomorrow will be interesting how they will work their way up the field.

[โ€“] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Racing Bulls car looking very pretty driving around track.

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Turn1 will be very interesting tomorrow. Definitely looking forward to the race.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Alright guys. Who's gonna end up on the wall first? Lance Stroll or one of the rookies?

My money is on Stroll.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Based on his performance in free practice, I'm gonna say Bearman.

Edit: IF Haas is able to get him back on track.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm hoping it's just first race jitters. The guy was pretty handy in the Ferrari last year.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Last year he could get in one of the best cars without much pressure and just enjoy. Now he has pressure in what seems to be a soapbox car so far (Ocon 19th)

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Lawson and Antonelli out in q1 wowโ€ฆ

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Ruth looks good today. Her hair is tame as well. Somehow she is always standing in the wrong direction to the wind.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

She is so chaotic sometimes. I love it. Passionate about the sport and knowledgeable, which is the golden combo for commentators.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Exciting session, very close top 4! Great performance from Albon and Tsunoda to beat the Ferraris. Unfortunate for some of the rookies having a disappointing start to the year but I'm sure they will improve. Looking forward to the race tomorrow!!
