HAHA this is fantastic!

That is nice and I'm sure it's in a nice spirit, although it could be taken as mocking the little girl who did the helmet design.

I see it as a big honor to her. Just fun and even the official time sheets is paying tribute with a little gets.

Imagine seeing that graphic again in 10 years and wondering what the hell happened there

Bit early to jump to that conclusion, perhaps.

Perhaps, but so far RBR/Racing Point are matching Mercedes in race pace.

Horner said it looks like Mercedes are running "turned down" as they are quite slow on the straights compared to others.

Not quite sure Horner's right... from Fabrega:

Vel max en trampa recta (antes T15)
Max speed Trap (before T15)

Bottas 323 km/h
Rai 319
Ham 318
Alb 318
Hulk 318
Vers 318
Stro 318
Gio 318
Gas 317
Ric 317
Lec 316
Kvy 316
Oco 315
Lat 313
Rus 313
Gro 312
Sai 312
Nor 312
Mag 309
Vet 307

Compare it to last years qualifying. Mag did 325 in 20th place, Ric was 1st at 337. No one has the engine turned up!

Can anybody tell me in what world is Stroll faster than Hulkenberg?

Let's see how avid you fans are.

Stroll had all of pre-season testing, and 3 race weekends to get used to the car. Hulk has had 22 laps, and a seat that doesn't fit properly.

I dont think Lance is as bad as his dads money makes him look...

Earth is the one.

Why wouldn't Stroll be potentially faster? Stroll is a very good driver! He's had a podium, he's qualified in the top 4 multiple times.

Just as much chance of Stroll outpacing Hulkenberg as Stroll outpacing Perez, which happens quite often.

Stroll had a few silly crashes in his debut races, but has been very solid and very consistent ever since then IMO. It's like some people stopped paying attention to Stroll after his first race.

Are my eyes deceiving me or is Verstappen carrying more speed through the esses?
Difference is probably down to tire compound.

Ok thanks. Just making sure I got my sanity checked before these two races!

Willbe looking forward to see how quickly Hulk gets up to speed. Within 2 tenths of Lance this week should be good then if we go by that logic.

I'm sure if Hulkenberg read this he would be triggered at "he's had a podium"!!

In all seriousness, I don't think either driver is that bad, I think Perez is a bit better than both but can't wait to see what happens over the weekend.

I rate Hulkenberg higher than both of them. Pretty underrated driver, in my opinion.

Pink Mercedes pace is a good reference for Merc dominance, they have at least a second in hand with car and driver.
Redbull also not looking bad.

Anyone watching "the dread pirate Krivits"
