Ric just outqualified Perez at his home track, with an AT. What a statement. Let's see if he can put a result on the board tomorrow.

Its really hard to even get excited about the prospect of a Ferrari front row, because you just know they will somehow contrive to get in each others way, let Max through on lap one, and then make a pigs ear of their strategy and finish 5th and 6th

I have no idea what you're talking about, leclerc was ecstatic about the pole.

I really hope for Charles mental state that they don't fuck it up tomorrow, but he seemed determined to come with a plan.

dimspace@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

i was not talking about Charles feelings, I was talking as F1 fans feeling....

hillbicks@feddit.de · 1 pts · 2y

I forgot the /s

Leclerc seemed like he couldn't care less about pole yesterday ;p

JJROKCZ@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Yea they’ll find some way to fuck it up and have neither driver on the podium. Either the drivers or the team will screw this

CHECO IN TROUBLE

Oof bad gamble for Norris.

Also, I don't think drivers should be able to hold up the pit lane like that.

Photographer@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

Penalties incoming

FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 2y (4 replies)

Holy shit, almost the entire grid is under investigation for something.

Photographer@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Penalties will make a real mess of this

FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

As is tradition.

dimspace@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

interesting that Red bull decided to go out really early, get a banker without worrying about infractions

FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 2y

Verstappen is part of the group under investigation for impeding.

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Stewards working overtime tonight.

Photographer@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Nah, they'll just penalise everyone, or no one. Then they can go home on time. Whatever they do, I can guarantee people will be unhappy.

lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Looks like no one got a penalty 😅

No further action against Verstappen, Russell or Alonso for the pit lane impeding.

Also no further action against Hamilton over the yellow flags.

No news yet about Sargeant.

JJROKCZ@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

10 place penalty for Sargent for comes of being a rookie and American so fuck em lol

FrostyTrichs@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

I'd like to see both McLarens in the top 5 and both Alpha Tauri in Q3.

I think we'll see a few interesting knock outs and probably a couple guys we don't get to see in Q3 often. Valtteri, Alex, and Daniel all looked like they were on it over one lap.
