Get the F1TV app. Listen to Joylon instead!

Jolyon is a real gem! Always spot on, such a joy to listen to.

He definitely know what he's speaking about, and he has no sacred cows. He just frog-stomps on everyone!

That is my favourite part hes Sam Collins's worst nightmare. Just today jolyon had to shut him down multiple times

Just finished talking with an old colleague who is at Suzuka, about 08;00 local time. He said it has been raining non-stop since 6 and looks like rain off and on all day today. I still wish I was there instead of Atlanta.

Anywhere is better than Atlanta! I hope we get to see Honda victory this weekend and both Championships won on 'home' soil. Weather looks better for qualifying and the race.

I think RB has a very good chance of winning this Sunday. Atlanta is okay....not my favorite but had to be at Road Atlanta this week.

I have a bias..
partly tongue in cheek, but does anyone else imagine a sock being stuffed into David Croft's mouth?

I hope you can avoid the traffic. Atlanta is the only place that I've ever seen an ambulance with its sirens on, sitting in gridlock for over an hour...

Fairly slow in the thread for FP3 ...

Ferrari looked well balanced, i don't know if they have more power to unleash otherwise Max has got this.

It's an ungodly hour.

RB are silly quick on the straights here and they don't appear to be taking a penalty in the corners (except Deigner where the Ferrari carries a lot more speed). I wonder how much quicker Merc will get. They are getting slaughtered on the straights here and they don't really have a cornering advantage to compensate. However RB are managing to run the car, it's very aero efficient.

Looks like its going to be a cool but dry qualifying.

Sainz set his lap half an hour earlier than Verstappen, and usually they are able to make bigger steps between FP3 and Qualifying. I'd think it's very open

Looks like RB and Ferrari have another gear that Mercedes does not.

Not even sure why Merc went out on mediums when everyone else was on softs. Seems a waste of a new set of tyres.

they only have 4 sets of softs, probably just wanted to get in the groove on mediums

must be the closest Q1 of the season, by the way? 1st to last within 1.3s
