Making this early as I doubt I'll be able to watch live this weekend. I need to take the little one to a kids birthday party 😬.

Anyway, post away your thoughts from the qualifying session in the future!

Both Williams in Q3 let's go

[-] fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 year ago

all aboard!

Sargeant is looking 50/50 if he makes Q3. Albon is looking pretty certain though.

Was there a big upgrade to their package or is it just a good track for them?

Are you a visionary or on an insane amount of hopium?

Albon has been carrying my fantasy team 🙏

Oof, Perez...

Would really surprise me to see him at Red Bull next year.

[-] JCPhoenix@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Who would replace him? Yuki?

I know a lot of people are wishing for DR, but...is that really realistic?

[-] Haldum96@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

There has to be someone lobbying hard for Danny Ric to replace Checo, especially after 5(!!!) missed Q3s. That's extremely embarrassing for someone in the fastest car.

[-] hrpanjwani@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

Max will be lobbying against that for sure.

My heart skipped a beat there when Lando was first. Excellent result either way and such a difference from the start of the year for McLaren

[-] JCPhoenix@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

I literally gasped out loud and yelled out "OMG!" when that happened, not realizing Lando was one of the first over the line. But then the motorsports gods (aka Max himself) made sure RB got that P1.

I loved Lando's cheeky, "Max ruins for everything for everyone," in response to the interviewer mentioning Lando almost getting P1. I don't understand how people don't like Lando; I think he's hilarious. Obviously him and Max are good friends, too.

Excellent day for McLaren!

I don't wish harm on Max, but if he could bin it tomorrow and McLaren finish 1/2 I would be so happy.

[-] sijt@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Everyone when there was briefly a Williams 1-2:

Stop the count!

[-] t0fr@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Yo. I actually screamed when Lando crossed that line in Q3 and Piastri too. Super happy for Albon as well!

[-] hsr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 year ago

Max Verstappen VS Turning Radius, truly a fight of the century

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Perez out in Q1 again. Yikes.

Also what's up with the Alfa's just shutting off randomly? Isn't this the third race in a row it has happened?

[-] Sentau@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

God damn has the McLaren improved. Also piastri proving a massive upgrade on ricciardo already.

[-] Gerryflap@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Damn what an ending of Q1. Times just came tumbling down. Happy to see Williams through, the dream lives on

[-] teneriffa@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Why Perez was sent out first I really don't understand.

[-] running_squirrel@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago

Wasn't he still at the pit exit because he went out in the exact moment the pit exit closed because of the red flag?

Looks like the McLaren upgrades might be the real deal, at least in these conditions. Still a way off Red Bull, but great to see some progress.

Disappointed with Alonso. Looks like other teams have caught up and overtaken their early season advantage, which is a shame. Losing out to, an admittedly racey looking, Williams won't go down well.

Hoping for some changeable conditions tomorrow.

Perez super lucky there. Guessing he’ll at least make it through to Q2 now

[-] allie@beehaw.org 11 points 1 year ago

Wow Max straight up snapped that front wing in two.

[-] hotstove@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Perez can’t help himself. Williams in Q2!

[-] hrpanjwani@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

McLaren should design a new livery for every track. That's the secret sauce that's really powering the car.

[-] hrpanjwani@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Will VER cross into 1:26:xxx?

[-] Rain3h@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago
[-] hrpanjwani@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!! Such a close thing for NOR.

[-] Haldum96@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

What a performance by Lando and Piastri! Really hope McLaren continues down this path.

[-] Fingerthief@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Excellent showing from McLaren!

[-] UESPA_Sputnik@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sainz sounds like he's completely done with Ferrari. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Red Bull signed him to replace Perez. He was an RB junior after all.

What are the red things hanging from everyone's ears?

Tabs so they can grab the tear-offs?
