They cheer!

What'd you expect? Anyway, it is all about Max "Superstar" Verstappen and the mighty Red Bull - Honda!

Verstappen = 2021 WDC

[godlameroso]

I expect some people won't be running their mouths so much now!

LMAO as if that would ever happen. Good job by Hamilton, I look forward to a good race.

Nice routine Verstappen pole!

"Simply lovely."

Though only 0.03s in it in the end. No improvement on Max's final lap.

He did improve

By 1 tenth. Otherwise Lewis would be on pole. He beat Max's earlier by half a tenth odd.

[WaikeCU]

Can somebody look for Lewis’ Q2 time and that final Q3 laptime of him? Pretty sure there’s almost .6s between them

He did improve by 0.07 if I recall correctlt. Crucial enough to hold Ham on P2

True. Thankfully it wasn't a routine Hamilton pole, as it has been for so many years and as it would have been if Red Bull, Honda and Verstappen didn't have the pace. Fortunately they do have the pace, and the Red Bull - Honda & Verstappen combo is simply lovely.

Much better a routine Verstappen pole than a routine Hamilton pole.

This season has been Max vs Mercedes. Really he is putting that RBR where it does not belong.

It's plainly obvious that the Red Bull is the quicker car.

No driver can driver faster than the car can go. It's simply impossible. The best drivers get the most from the car available to them. That's always been the way since day one of motor racing.

which world you are in. RB is a at least a notch faster than merc. 6 poles in last 7 races.

100% driver, 0% car

Yeh, a car on pole for what is it, 6 of the last 7 races, really doesn't deserve to be on pole

The fact you've had to make this comment twice before anyone took notice of you really shows how moronic the statement is. Imagine discrediting the hardworking personnel at RBR for the car they've produced!

But go on, hit us all with the 'well look at his team mate(s)' line, we're all dying to hear it

it really just goes to show that this car is designed to primarily suit max. he has a very distinct driving style that no other rb driver can handle.

Some boo.

We are great sports..

Exactly Lewis was 0.038 behind in the end, if Max hadn't improved on his final lap Lewis would have had pole.

The first sector just wasn't good enough from Lewis unfortunately.

[politburo]

Is passing going to be that bad at this track. Looks like it will be very similar to Imola overtaking, there could actually be plenty especially in sector 3.

Well, if Perez has been proven to only be able to extract less than 100% of the RB16B, why is it impossible for Hamilton/Bottas to be below 100% in the Merc?

Its all down to the extraction of potential. None of them are EVER truly at 100%!!

[JordanMugen]

My bad, I was confused by Verstappen's red sector three time. His gain in sector 2 was enough.

it really just goes to show that this car is designed to primarily suit max

Or it's just built in the direction which is fastest? It's not like Benetton for instance deliberately made a car that was hard to drive, they just made the fastest car they could. It's not up to them to reinvent the wheel so Verstappen Snr, Herbert, Alesi or Berger could drive it better. Same goes for Red Bull.

The first sector just wasn't good enough from Lewis unfortunately.

Fortunately.
