George is doing well. He could be two tenths off pole.
Or he could go out in Q1
Just doing his best Lewis impression from recent memory.

Stuff happens.

Come on guys play nice. Just unlucky timing and a bit silly from the team not fuelling him up for lots of consecutive runs.

George to Sky was quite critical of his team, suggesting they failed on basic fundamentals that session on his side.

He should have first put a decent lap at the beginning as his teammate did it, which he takes the blame for at least, but yeah the bigger f*uck up is from the team that not putting enough fuel for a drying track.

Mercedes falling apart this week. Slow circuits are not their friend apparently.

correct me if i'm wrong cause i was only watching the telemetry but it seemed like he had to slow down in S1 running into Sainz and Yuki, he set purple minisectors in the final sector

I thought this bloody car was good in the low speed? 6 tenths is miles off. Toto thought they would only be 2 tenths off. Oh well the struggle continues.

That was a handful. Funny that last two seasons, it has been ok here but today, less so.

I think it will be better in race trim

I think if Lewis got his lap together…3-4 tenths.

No 2 ways to slice it, that was disappointing; looking at the results, the oddity is Merc. We’ve clearly regressed into the clutches of Ferrari rather than maintain a fight with the front pack. Pray for rain.
Team ANTI-HYPE. Prove it, then I’ll anoint you.

it is odd that at other rear limited circuits they werent that far off, less than 3 tenths off from Charles, less than a tenth off from Mclaren in Monaco and 2 tenths in Austria but 6 tenths here. I thought this would be a very good track for the Merc, the track temps even dropped by almost 30 degrees from yesterday

Lewis didn't look anywhere near comfortable and kept overdriving the car. Had George been there, it would have given another perspective of where the car would have been, as he was faster and more comfortable than Lewis throughout the weekend. He ended up making a mistake in his first run.
