Well. It seems that Max does still win because of his car. I hope as Emag said every idiot shuts up about Mclaren being the fastest car and Max is some type of god.

Ill take 2 and 3.

Basically, Max & RedBull found 3.5 tenths between yesterday and today. Whereas McLaren found almost nothing. They're lucky Mercedes and Ferrari couldnt improve much behind too.

I am only coping a bit thinking that they might have improved race pace, but I doubt they can aim for anything more than a 2-3 tomorrow. Which grant it, it would be a great result, but I was hoping they would be closer.
Gonna be hard to 2-3 with Pistri's lap deleted.

Where is everyone that had pitchforks last year about Norris mistakes in qualifying?

Wasn’t Max dominant in quali in 22 but then ate his tyres in the race with Ferrari nailing him?
I didn't know a 30 milisecond gap is considered dominant :D :D

Great positions for tomorrow. Hopefully race pace is better and we can challenge Max.

I'm going to be at the track, last week I was worried it might be a "boring" dominant win for McLaren but I guess I am not that lucky. But if it happens, that much more sweeter.

Amazing work by the team.

EDIT: a shame about Piastri

Yeah well, I said the best they can hope for. Oscar did have a little bit of pace over Mercedes and Ferrari in the sprint at least. If that translates in the race tomorrow, there is a chance.

It is when it is always one sided, out of portions, and potentially unfair.

No need to be calling people idiots. Before today it was close even if those comments were a bit optimistic.

That’s the hope :twisted:
I think 2 years of learning might say otherwise though

I don't think it was. He was over driving last year, and he should have had more wins this year so that days like today are less of a blow.

No worries Mcwillems. Im not talking about this forum. Im talking about some idiots in another forum who are busting balls about how godly Max is.

Yeah, I hope he can get it done, but starting P7 is rough.

Track limits in turn 6. A marginal call I'd say but it is what it is.
