I think Lando will do a perfect start tomorrow. He is rested from his holidays and there is no excuse anymore for bottled starts. He has to go straight. No need to cover Max and lose ground. He will have the inside line on the first turn.
If you give Max the inside he will yolo in there and run you off or crash. No way you give that. That's why it would have been so much better to have Oscar P2.

Very impressive lap by Lando. Unfortunately Oscar did not hook it up on that last lap, not good to have Max alongside Lando.

Let's hope he won't bottle the start again tomorrow.
:D

Will Lando shank his start?

I have faith, I think he's going to nail those starts starting tomorrow.
I think the issue is how much does he want to get involved with Max.
Not just Max to be fair. Aside from some slower getaways he's just gone a bit too all in with his poker chips when it comes to gaining or retaining a position

Is the inside line from Max's side? Well in that case Lando has no choice but to squeeze him to the wall.

It's one of the easier tracks to hold the lead into T1. Not a super long run into that first corner and all leaders before have cut off P2 to take the inside.

If he bottles this one too then f*ck me, he has got to be cursed.
:D :D :D

I don't know, battling feels a bit harsh, I think he tries too much. Seems not to be able to balance his risks at the start due to a rush of blood to the head.

Good job today, I'm sad PIA is not P2 but we are still in a great position for tomorrow.
Looking forward for a clean start from both of our drivers, and then we can focus on winning this race.

Who has the inside line on the first corner? Norris or Verstappen? It's important tomorrow for Norris to turn 1st on that first turn.

That is not good. Lando has to cover that inside line but I'm not sure if it will be enough unless Lando does an improved start than last time.

Man, Norris nailed that lap! Shame Piastri couldn't join him on the front row, but 1-3 in qualifying is mega.

The gyro cam makes me dizzy on this track, but you can still tell how beautifully the car behaves around here. Especially compared to some of the competitors.

That front-end bite is just *chefs kiss*
