Strolls alright, not great, not terrible. On par with many out there and better than some.

I'm assuming no damage on Lando's car? I've heard they were checking but not got onboard rn so can someone confirm if they have any info.

What if Lando starts first his flying lap hoping for the asphalt not to improve after him.

I think he did a good job avoiding it... didn't hear anything either so should be fine hopefully

Gotta feel sorry for Piastri there, rub of the green however
In this case literally green.

Time for Stroll to leave the sport. His father talks as if he's still a rookie with a lot of talent left to show. Yes he's only 24 but this is his 7th season in the sport. He's not going to get much faster than he already is
Nah keep him in. He’s a pair of empty overalls, it means the Mclaren boys only have to race 17 other drivers :lol:
Just a fan's point of view

Only Perez managed to improve his time as the rest didn't have a good start having to avoid so many cars. What can Lando do for Q2 and Q3 to avoid that and be at pole using the asphalt improvement?

Out of curiosity. Did Ferrari bring upgrades to their car here and in Monza? They seem to have improved significantly.

Why not? Lando is very close. Top 5 is between 1 tenth.

I feel we should of done what Ferrari did.. send the car out on a used soft for first run...

Still that 2-3 tenths chunk in the middle sector lost

Wow. Speechless with the Red Bulls. Let's hope Lando gets a good run in Q3. Those last run tires in Q2 will be ok for the first run as they completed only one corner on a hot lap before Lando aborted.

Ferrari 1/2 likely. Top 5 realistic though.

Hampered by yellows, so glad got the barker lap in.

I can see where you're coming from but I can also see why they didn't want to risk it. If we had a poor lap on used tires we could've easily been out there due to Perez' yellow flags
