Thank you and everyone helping and participating! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ‘

Awesome work by Hulk so far

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

His qualifying game is really on point, isn't it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

And they didnt broadcast any of his laps lol

When his time lit up, I was like "whoa, he's second, track evolution must be crazy!"

Nah, was just him being crazy

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

Good work by George to get 3rd.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Especially considering where Lewis finished.

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

Repeat of last year it seems

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

Lewis sacrificed qualy by optimising for the race. We'll see how that goes.

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

Field seems ridiculously close. Just a second from front to back

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

Right? Pretty amazing..

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

Gonna be a lonngggg season for them

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Checo really not doing himself any favours.. outqualified by both ferrari and mercedes

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

If he keep on going like this I wouldn't be surprised if Sainz took his place next year.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thatโ€™s exactly what I was thinking. I bet RB tries to get Carlos before promoting Danny. I think Dannyโ€™s biggest advantage right now is how much Christian likes him. Though Danny seemed to have pace in the RB19 that he doesnโ€™t seem to have in the AT/RB. Iโ€™d be curious to see how Yuki does in the RB19/RB20 for a head to head comparison.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

how much Christian likes him

After reading the leaked text (and assuming in good faith that they are real in my extremely humble opinion) I am not sure how much value that has.

Otmar might be having the biggest grin across his face.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I fear this race is going to really mess me up.

I've already found myself looking for football half-time scores thinking its saturday

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

Vamos Fernando

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

That's so damn tight.

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Great showing by Mclaren, but I still wonder how the cars will hold up throughout the race

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Nice lap by Stroll.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Damn Alpine what happened?

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago
  1. Their car somehow is 10 kg heavier than last year
  2. Their engine still is the worst one as there is a ban on developing it
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This post and the F1TV commentators both mentioned that the Alpine cars are 10 kg too heavy.

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

Imagine having a car that's slower on the second hot lap you do while everyone else improves at least from track evolution

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I wonder if Max has an answer to that lap by Charles..

Edit: He did.

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

Aside from the Alpines getting knocked out at Q1, no major surprises in qualifying.

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

So Mercedes' customers are faster than them

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So far.. we kinda know that Merc might take a few races to get the most out of the new concept.

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

Where have we heard that before....?

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

Next upgradeTM, Lewis got tired of that so moving to next yearTM

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

What a surpise! Sauber is bad this year again. Iโ€˜m a sad swiss :(

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't think Perez will be a huge threat to Max this year either..

No tire data/display unless they've set a time? Slightly annoying..

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A bit off-topic but, given the lap time that Max (and Charles) managed to put in this qualifying session, if the race is close, either of them might be tempted to get the fastest lap point and break Pedro de la Rosa's record this year.

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel like, if they couldnโ€™t beat it in quali, they wonโ€™t beat it in the race.

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

It's the fastest race lap, the quali times were 2s faster than that

This is exciting.. quite a few unknowns, still.

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

Solid qualifying! The field is looking tight!

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

Max slaps in a banger.. straight off the bat.

And Sainz responds!

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

Bets on a Sainz pole on my local commentary right now

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

Good luck, Alpine

I was hoping for Sargeant making into to in Q2 ๐Ÿ˜‘

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

I was hoping RB would be a bit further up the field..

Edit: Maybe they are further up than I thought.
