Outstanding quali. First time I’ve yelled at the tv in years. Excited about tomorrow. Let’s see how quickly Max can pass the field and catch the rabbit. Max to P1 by mid-race w/o a safety car? Wouldn’t be surprised.
The W14 is over Hamilton’s head. He can’t extract speed from a slow car. I’ve been saying that about him his entire career. It’s yet another reason why George is doing better. George will continue to spank Lewis because George can extract speed from $hitty cars. If this continues, I think Lewis retires. When he realizes the long road to the sharp end, and that he can’t beat his teammate when/if Merc get there, it will be a quick exit stage left. The end.
The Stroll will out-quali Fred prediction some made is down 0-2, and yes the beatings will continue. I’ve no idea why anyone thinks Stroll will beat Fred in any capacity.
In fact, I think papa Stroll may rid of Fred by years end once he realizes his son has no chance of winning a championship with Fred in the sister car.
Nice showing from Alpine, but nothing more than a side show to what’s happening at the sharp end.
Disappointed in Norris, but mistakes happen. I’m sure he was trying to pre-empt the car pushing, but the Macca held, and he mis-judged it. Bummer. Nice showing from Piastri. Well done for a rookie.
Wow.
Ferrari.
What is happening to this team? Ffs.
I don’t think the cars assets are being fully exploited, tbh. I feel like Ferrari is still very unsure of how to set up the car best— only race 2, so to be expected...I guess? AM and RB sure don’t have that problem...
Do better Ferrari. There is more speed in that car.
It’s a shame Shaal is going back ten positions, but it puts big daddy Fred on the front row, so I’m ok with it. I’m really disappointed in Sainz. Come on man. HALF a friggin’ second behind Shaal is unacceptable. The car has far more speed than Sainz is extracting. Time to step it up Sainz. You’re not good enough atm and like Ferrari, you need to do better.
REALLY looking forward to the race tomorrow. Fred has the opportunity to lift the car past normal ability and pull out that last percent only the legendary drivers can find. With good strategy, Fred could beat Checo.
Can Sky Sports please dispense with Damon Hill? He’s a TERRIBLE commentator.
Watching F1 since 1986.
