Ooooh, can't wait to see how Q3 shakes down.

Magic 8 ball, can we lock out the front row?

Let's see. There is still Q3. We need to keep up the good performance considering Rusell is very close and let's not count out Max yet.

On that last lap let's try to find one or two more tenths to be secure.

Russell might pull something, but I think we have the top 3, just not necessarily the final order.

Very impressive lap by Lando. Unfortunately Oscar did not hook it up on that last lap, not good to have Max alongside Lando.

Let's hope he won't bottle the start again tomorrow.

Bad lap by Oscar there when it counted, but a great lap by Lando!

Oh sh*t. Piastri was quite good all around the quailify. I’m sorry we have lost the first row :/ Anyway. Fantastic result :)

Needed Piastri in second. Max can bully Lando at the start. Knowing Lando needs the points and can't risk anything.

Let's see where to start and where to end. That lap from Norris was demolition. 4 tenths is a huge marjin. Oscar we needed you on 2nd place to play shield. Now Norris must ace his start tomorrow. No more bottling starts.

:D

Will Lando shank his start?

Magic 8 ball: Reply hazy, ask again later


I have faith, I think he's going to nail those starts starting tomorrow.

I think the issue is how much does he want to get involved with Max.

I think we are more than fast enough to take Max. Piastri has been around a tenth off Lando here until his last lap so he'll be hassling Max.

It's one of the easier tracks to hold the lead into T1. Not a super long run into that first corner and all leaders before have cut off P2 to take the inside.

If he bottles this one too then f*ck me, he has got to be cursed.

I think Lando will do a perfect start tomorrow. He is rested from his holidays and there is no excuse anymore for bottled starts. He has to go straight. No need to cover Max and lose ground. He will have the inside line on the first turn.
