Pretty much only George actually improved?

RIP Norris.

Norris, Sainz and Perez fightback tomorrow going to at least create some interest
Maybe something to do with how he waited in the pit lane?
Or the fact lewis has a snap, max had a snap, lando had a snap etc etc

I'm not sure about a Sainz fightback. The Ferrari looks dreadful here.
I think it will be alright. Alo and Alpine are running lower wing Sunday has low wind by the forecast!

Just about all of the top drivers have a moment in the final runs. One of those things when you push to the limits. Cant knock any of them.

Hamilton always find some way to mess his qualifying nowadays..
Lewis, Sergio, Lando, or Carlos. Even Max messed up.

You went for Lewis though 👀
Yeah bro, because i'm a lewis supporter! It just seems that the only time in a long time he could maximize the Q, he lost it. Granted, track was in weird shape, but i was just noting that he can't catch a break!

If I were Mercedes I would start George on softs and tell him to be ultra aggressive on the first few laps.

If he gets in front it would open up some potential options for a win when it’s 2 vs 1.

They will not have even the slightest of chances even if they both got ahead at the start. Zero.
