Just the perfect timing. Got the tyres into the temperature window before the rain got stronger. Not sure if those who put on the softs late will be caught out by the rain now.
What a clusterfuck that was at the end.
Perez has bottled it.
Wow, can't believe just a few races ago we were talking about whether this would be Perez year. And he is not even close to Verstappen.
"There's a surprising number of cars out there, considering this is approaching biblical"
- Alex Jaques
"Good weather for a duck"
- Valtteri Bottas
Go on Albon!
These conditions really bring out the chasm in ability between Stroll and Alonso.
That DRS hat
That was amazing :D
I want one!
Sainz should get even more then a 3 grid penalty. This was not only impeading, but crazy dangerous.
The penalty is given for the infringement, not the outcome. Not that I disagree with you, but that is how the rules are applied.
Q1 results
Top 3: VER ALO HAM
Eiminated: TSU GAS DEV SAR ZHO
Wow, Perez missings another Q3. Changing conditions give you some excuses, but overall that is not a good look against a team mate that is dominating the championship.
Q2 results
Fastest: ALB VER NOR
Eliminated: LEC PER STR MAG BOT
exactly as expected
So one-lap-shootout coming up.
Not a great weekend start for Gasly and Alpine. Car sounded awful.
Edit: Not a great start for F1, period. Broken track cameras? Really? Sigh.
Edit2: Bottas P1! Technically...
🟥 Red flag. Hülkenberg with engine issues
🟩 Green flag. This one has been a bit shorter.
For those of us in Canada I hope one day we get coverage without Ads... That's my favorite part of the US GP weekends. :D
We had ads in the UK for a few years. I hated coming back to the race to Murry Walker announcing "drama in the German grand prix..." only to get a replay of a major incident. I feel for you buddy!
Leclerc eliminated because Ferrari decided not to switch to softs when he wanted to. Stop inventing!
wait, just tuned in, what the fuck happend?
Rain, if I were to answer in just one word.
makes sense... RIP LEC tho :^(
Rain and also a poor tire decision by Ferrari.
Does it rain everyontreal GP weekend?
Stroll just isn't cutting it on Aston Martin anymore. Maybe his dad can give him a cushy office job so we can get a competent driver.
Send him to WEC. He's clearly got the talent for a top drive in any series except F1.
If the rain picks up now and the softs take 2 laps to get to working temperature, those who just came in might lose out heavily.
how do y'all feel about race weekends with these later than usual session start times?
I hate them, give me my 8-9am sessions!
How about you Euros/Asians? Are these times better or worse?
As an American, I greatly dislike the later times when races are on this side of the world. I don't mind waking up like 6,7,8am or whatever to watch a session. Or even staying up very late til like 4am. Even on Fridays for FP1 and FP2.
Idk, I like getting F1 "out of the way" so to speak, then I can do whatever else I need to do for rest of the day.
Like right now, it's 12:30p for me. That's not terrible since it's lunch time. But FP2 is at like 4pm; I tend to take a nap around then. If I was still working from the office, I'd be leaving the office around then.
This is partially what got me into Premier League soccer. I was already up early on the weekends with my daughter, I want to watch live sports in the AM!
What's French for "clutch"? I don't know, and it appears Alpine don't either.
I can guarantee Max is not letting anyone pass him on the outlap.
I look forward to McLaren raising my hopes, and then dashing them quite expertly.
🟥 Red flag. Ocon stopped with some mechanical issue, told to stop the car by radio.
Oh I almost forgot we were in RAWE CEEK! Came here to see that the sessions are already going to be very wet. Hope not another one gets put into red flag hell again...
🏁 Checkered flag as the rain increases
Top 3
HAM 1:13.718
RUS +0.027
SAI +0.126
RIP Ferrari engine :(
Q2, with more rain coming
Red flag, Piastri on the wall as Hülkenberg gets P2
Technical issues for Zhou, that was quick
So it's effectively over now with Hulk on the front row?
Session probably restarts, but if rain continues track will be slower.
Tsunoda has been an absolute menace haha!
Starting to rain, and most drivers on softs
Who had Hulk starting P2 then?
