Track Map
Both Williams in Q3. Lets fucking go
Haha and one is ahead of both Ferraris. This sparks so much joy
Hope that Williams has the race pace to make this even more interesting.
Racing Bulls car looking very pretty driving around track.
I’ll reiterate what I said regarding Antonelli and Lawson. Outqualified by Bortoletto in a Sauber.
Doohan cleared all the rookies, he is safe for the moment.
Austrian commentary right now: “Piastri now has 7 front-row lockouts without a pole. That stat was also held by Bruce McLaren.”
A Sauber knocking out a Mercedes. Q1 is starting off interesting.
The field is so close
- Bearman washed
- Lawson washed
- Antonelli washed
- Hulk washed
- Ferrari washed
We’re so back
Williams notably NOT washed
Williams vs Ferrari. Close enough welcome back 1997.
Was Perez bad or is the Red Bull simply undriveable if you’re not Verstappen?
Did Ferrari go after Hamilton simply for the ad revenue and not for possible future race results?
Is there a point to Aston Martin if they keep going backwards each season?
:P
The setup changes Red Bull made based on the late simulator runs seems to have made it competitive at the expense of making jt hard to drive.
Does not look good for Red Bull if they haven’t tamed that same behaviour from last year as eventually it got so bad even Max couldn’t drive it. Does not bode well for their season.
Lawson is clearly struggling because of this, as did Checo as they just aren’t that the same level as Max in a bad car. Yuki is doing so well, and Red Bull will be like “I’m going to pretend I didn’t see that.”
Was Perez bad or is the Red Bull simply undriveable if you’re not Verstappen?
The red bull pretty difficult to drive. It has pace but suffers from understeer and oversteer at different stages of corners, sometimes even in the same corner. If you are somehow able to dance on this knife edge, you can extract some good laps but for that one needs to be ridiculously talented and adaptable like max, fernando, lewis(the ferrari stint will determine our views on his adaptability), etc.
The fact is even max says he doesn’t like the how the current red bull handles and struggles to keep it under control. Just imagine how hard it must be to handle for others
Was Perez bad or is the Red Bull simply undriveable if you’re not Verstappen?
Ricciardo, Gasley, Albon, Perez, and now Lawson; they’ve all been paired with Verstappen and only one man has got the best of that car.
Yuki channeling all his hate and anger over being overlooked for the red bull seat into lap time
Ruth looks good today. Her hair is tame as well. Somehow she is always standing in the wrong direction to the wind.
Tsunoda 5th! Albon 6th!
Lawson continuing the tradition of the Redbull No.2…🤦🏻♂️
