FORMULA 1 STC SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX 2023 - Jeddah....Qualifying.... ▄▀▄▀▄▀ SPOILERS ▄▀▄▀▄▀

Sainz again useless....0.5 down on charles....useless

 

Charles mega as ever, no one is a match for him in pute speed

 

If you were drunk she would look better!

 

Why not penalty for Russell. If there ever was an "impeding driver" penalty it was this.

 

That should please many, no ?

Aston and Alonso are on a roll. I hope it will last all season.

 

I've been pulling for Alonso since he beat MS straight up. I have a great deal of respect for his driving.

 

Yep!

 

Still adjusting? Not that excuse again! The only guy who can use that excuse is Lancelot

 

Fortunately he starts ahead of Charlotte.

 

We’ll see where he is at the end of the year. Worse than 2 or 3 spots below LeClerc, then yes, look for someone else. There don’t seem to be many realistic options right now (maybe Lando? No idea how easily he can leave McLaren).

 

Furoni would complaint about Sainz even more if he was beating CL consistently.

 

Leave furoni alone, he knows what he's doing

 

Yes Sainz is Spanish, and that's redhibitory for you.

 

All Charles need do is tack onto Mac's tail and move up with him

 

Fact is Charles one lap speed when it matters is just mind blowing.
Really don’t understand the Sainz narrative when some are trying to put him as an equivalent driver compared with Charles..
Are people blind or with pure bad faith ?

 

In a parallel world ?

 

The Piastri test will be the definitive one for Norris.
We are in for a very entertaining year within the Mclaren year!

 

People need to realize that Sainz isn't there to match Leclerc.

Suggest me a driver that is the following:
As close if not closer to Leclerc
Has Sainz' technical feedback
Has Sainz' capability of reading a race
Is as compliant as Sainz is to play the team game

Would be nice if he's available as well but lets just stick with the above.

I'm waiting.

 

Bas,
He absolutely needs to be closer than half a second.
No more excuses.

 

he was a tenth behind Leclerc in Bahrain.

I didn't see his lap here, maybe a mistake. I agree he should've been ahead of Russell.

 

If he was a match for Leclerc, Sainz wouldn't be the ideal #2 at Ferrari.

He just need to be tail-gunner in the team, and not have ambition for himself.

 

This.
He’s ridiculous when interviewing about his chances against Leclerc.

 

He isn't fast enough to reliably take points away from rivals in a tight championship race.

 

He feels something like :
Oh my god, stats and wokim’s aren’t enough in the end ?

 

Finding an Eddie Irivine that happily plays the 2nd role and knows he's not going to have a chance against the team leader is practically non-existent.
