2019 United States Grand Prix - Austin, 1-3 November

[Wass85]

Hamilton has had the title pretty much sewn up much earlier and as usual has looked half arsed afterwards. That shows more in qualifying.

Now i know you're trolling me.

He certainly needs to up his game next season in qualifying if the status quo stays like it is.

I’m trolling you? Oh the irony

Certainly, to suggest Hamilton was not trying is hogwash and we both know it.

You're just as disappointed as I am at him.

I've lost count at the times he's looked strong on a Friday for him to fall back on Saturday. Yes he's had great race pace but he is NOT sacrificing qualifying to do so.

I have a feeling he will make up places tomorow when all the squabbling is finished in front of him, Bottas will walk it providing Verstappen doesn't pass Vettel at the start.

Can you guys please create an extra thread to discuss your pro and anti Hamilton stuff. It's getting annoying already because other talking points are getting buried under that spam.

Hamitlon had a headache from the bumps. He has been the best qualifier this year STILL. Check his qualifying performance. When he doesnt have the car he still maximises. And the fact he setd up for the race and still beats Bottas in Q is pretty awesome.

Way to go BOTTAS! Muslix with some left over BBQ sauce for breakfast!

Bottas 3.0, he's really taken a shine to those Suzuka upgrades.

Did anybody see where Lewis made this mistake? I was at the track and they didn't show anything.

Brief replay I saw showed him trying to pinch too much inside kerb at T8, bottomed out on the plank which understeered the car and pinched T9, so completely fluffed that sequence to the point of no return I think.

This is for the 2nd lap of Q3 I presume you were asking about? Apologies if not.

Basically everywhere after the first sector in his first run. They weren't exactly big mistakes but the lap was very scruffy. He just didn't have the pace today, really disappointing from him after yesterday.

Ty you guys.

Ferrari not murdering people down the straights, and sectors just all over the place, Bottas put it together.

Also feisty Mclarens

Epic lap from the Finn and a new track record.

Your wild guess was right now stop spamming this thread mate... lol

Did the conditions change? Wind or something ... no one improved

Sometimes the track starts getting away from you, track temperature must have risen just enough to drive the tires slightly past their window.

According to the AMuS liveticker the track temperature dropped in the last 10 minutes of quali which lowered the grip so you were right assuming it was the track temps that changed

I was surprised at how late the quali session was. This time of year in Texas (I'm in Houston), temps drop pretty quick around that time (5pm) of day.

He's the best qualifier of all time, so please just stop the constant repeated bs

Put him to ignore list already, he's just an anti - Hamilton troll.

No I'm just a disappointed fan of his that's wounded he's not smashing it in qualifying.

12-8 is not bad mate. I was expecting more like 14-6 though at the beginning of the season However Lewis always loses smt after he guarantees the title. It happened all the prior seasons.

It isn't great when you're the quali king of F1. It's nothing to do with that IMO as he's struggled on a Saturday all season. Bottas now has more poles than Lewis.
