Now that looks more like it. Max did his lap at the same time so it should be comparable.

Looks like they don't have enough.

Hopefully this is the qualy and race pace. It would be ideal if VER finishes P5 and loses 15 points to Norris.

Judging by previous years I'm hoping we don't end up on pole on purpose lol

Pole would be terrible here in my pessimistic but seasoned opinion :lol:

Being swarmed before turn 1 is a big possibility from p1 or p2 bit I think I'd still probably rather be there and have max in p5 which is a possibility.

This is the worst track to have pole and overtaking is really difficult. I am hoping they start 2nd and 3rd to be honest.

Or hopefully somebody push him out of the race… thats what he would really deserve. Just think of Austia or Austin. That would be ideal :) but i dont want to be wicked

IF Lando is pole and Verstappen is P5, Verstappen will still send one up the inside of Lando no matter where they are relative to each other on track =P~ :twisted: :lol:

Why would it be better to start P2 or P3? Air is less dense so slipstream is not really that powerful. The run is long but it's not really because of the slipstream but because the track is wide and everyone just catches up. I've watched starts in previous years and slipstream was never a factor. It was usually better reaction/start and then courage on the brakes in T1.

I would still prefer P1 and P2 and to get Piastri to block if needed.

If Max is close to Norris it will be fireworks for sure.

The only way pole keeps P1 after T1 in this track is by getting a better start than P2 and immediately covering the inside. If anything other than that happens, then you get a mess, with whoever getting the inside first taking the lead and a dice roll dictates what happens behind.

Well if you go by FP3, he would be right because Oscar was faster than him on the older spec floor.
