Too bad for Sergio. Hopefully takes (out, ha-ha) Hamilton at the start. Merc are owed being knocked out at the first corner.
Lec pulling that 2 tenths on last lap on Sainz and the McLaren group is an absolutely insane skill. Still think he is the fastest qualifier on the grid.
That was a fun Qualy session. Should be an awesome start. Hammy will be all over Max as long as he can. Can Checo harrass Hammy into a mistake?
Yes indeed. But, in the immediate term, if you are the third fastest car and some **** happens, you have a chance. If you are in the fifth or sixth fastest team, not so much
The tracks coming up can go either way. Still too early to tell but Checo needs to finish way ahead of Bottas these next 6 races.
Mega result. Woke up too late (app said it would start at 8am, but apparently that is 7am now) so by the time I managed to set up vpn and such...only saw the last Q3 lap. Surprised to see Max take pole and Perez doing so well, especially at what is very much a Mercedes track, especially after FP1/2! Mercedes have apparently got a hydraulic leak with their new engines, over 5%, and may need to refill hydraulic pressure during the race. Reminds me of 2001 season...
