Disaster for Red Bull. The Honda PU looks to be the most affected by the party ban.

Seems bottas doesn't want the tow either....
Unfortunately number 2 drivers don't get the choice at Merc. 😉😁
Apparently you aren't even watching the coverage! It was confirmed on air that Botox had the choice of what position he wanted to be in for the final run in Q3!

Hamilton was on a potential flyer, what went wrong in the last sector.
Didn't want to beat Bottas by too much...
Could have been in the mid 18's.

Got to give it to Red Bull, they went crying to the FIA about engine modes and made Mercedes even more dominant and Red Bull have fallen behind 2 teams. Maybe they should listen to Max and focus on themselves.

How is that party mode ban working for you, Redbull? :]]]]]

Quite strange then that the Merc drivers didn't want a tow when all the other drivers did. 🤔

proper middle finger that. Love to see Helmuts face right now.

That's some proper double deuces to the competition.


Really nice to see Carlos P3 as well.

Hamilton looks at sea today, he will do well to get in the top 5 if he doesn't find some pace from somewhere.

Verstappen has got to be the dark horse today?
As usual you look foolish in your predictions, despite nearly everyone telling you otherwise. One day you may luck in to a result , and no doubt claim you know it all. Luckily Lewis made the top 5, and Max was clearly a threat today pmsl
Shock horror, Merc are on the front row.
Yeah lucky lewis found that lap, he was lucky to make top 5 as you said earlier. #-o

Bottas hit 340kph before T1 without a tow. In 2019 they got 345kph with a tow. Did Mercedes find a way to corporate Strat 2 power into the race mode or something?

Because it's just as likely to hinder you as it is to help you. It might also have different effects on their aero package, as they run a different philosophy to almost everyone else!

Merc is just playing around. Showing off how they still trash the competition without a quali mode and tow.
what is amazing and kind of sad at the same time - we're in year 7 of this hybrid era, and the only team that got anywhere near them was stretching the rules a bit too much...

Likely to hinder them when they were always the first out?

They had ample opportunity to set it up nicely.

Bottas hinting that he didn't get a tow so got no help.

Button also claiming that Hamilton would have got a benefit despite being a distance behind.

They have less drag this year.
