This made me laugh 😂
Ron Dennis would have had a fit at that sign… well, at least the tape used to fix it!

I realize it is a meme, but can you explain it to me? I usually don't watch Sky coverage so I don't know what Rosberg did.

There is a lot of "evidence" that when Rosberg takes a selfie with you, it jinxes you for that day. He got both Lewis and Max last weekend. This has been going on for a while

Quite surprised Mercedes went out 7 minutes early to the queue. They have issues warming tyres and they go out so early?

Damage for Lando in Q1. :(

Looks like floor. Let's hope we can go through.

The car is mighty in S2. Piastri was 8 tenths up on Verstappen at the same time in that sector.

Lando has floor damage.

The car is extremely fast in S2 compared to the whole field, but it is slow in S1.

Game over.
Looks like we are too slow on the straights?
Just a fan's point of view

Can they get Lando's damage fixed in time? Praying for a red flag at this point then

Shame about Lando. Hope it can be fixed. Team thinks it's "significant"

Without DRS being enabled it will be tough.

I think that with the rain the car doesn't want to turn in slow speed. Don't know about the top speeds.

Might be fixing the car? Lando hasn't left the pits with everyone else in Q2
