Stroll is worse.

Red Bull didn't make it in Q3.

Helmet Marko is a fool.

Both Red Bulls out, what has happened there? If Verstappen gets penalties for 2 episodes of impeding as well, although they will likely drive through the pack tomorrow

sore loser.

I have not seen the incidents yet, but looking forward to watching Qauli after the game.

hmm - reading this, and I wonder if Lawson missed a team order to not beat Verstappen:

"His fastest lap in the second session only put him 10th fastest, leaving him vulnerable to being knocked out, and in the end the car that displaced him was one from the sister team Alpha Tauri driven rookie Liam Lawson.

The New Zealander's team-mate Yuki Tsunoda was also on course to beat Verstappen's time, but he aborted his lap for an unknown reason and ended up 15th."

Was that the lap where he was impeded by Verstappen?

The incident that he somehow manged to escape a seemingly clear cut penalty..

Red Bull cheats so much, its not even funny.

Did anything happen for the pit lane stop and about 50 cars all back up messing up people's hot laps?

Can't see anything on bbc and switched off the stream for it to watch the football.

Verstappen got a reprimand.

So fuck all then.

Finally got around to watching Quali - Tsunoda bailed on his final lap in q2 - when he was on pace to beat Verstappen, and Lawson did complete his lap to knock max out.

I got it mixed up then.

It still should have resulted in a grid penalty, there's no excuse.

If the roles were reversed, Yuki would have gotten a penalty and Red Bull would have attended the meeting.

Helmut probably gonna fine Lawson 10 grand for that. Was so obvious what was going on when Yuki bailed.

Wait, Max didnt get any penalty today despite 2 infractions?!?!? And AT didnt send 1 rep to the stewards?!?! Hahahaha. Try to make obvious, guys. Jesus christ. If F1 had any back bone, both Red Bull & AT would get a serious fine & maybe point docks for today & would review the ownership of AT in the off season. It is a serious breach of sporting integrity when 1 team has to give way & practically swear fealty to the other. I’d be absolutely furious if I was Yuki. Deserves so much better.

Surprised but not shocked Max didn’t get a penalty. That was a shocking quali and for the first time the pressure of not having a dialled in car crept through.

I still expect him to be up there come lap 5 though. 11th isn’t that far back, but I have no idea if his race pace is as bad as the quali pace in the red bull this weekend.
Looking forward to this race today. Both Ferrari and Mercedes will be eying first I feel, with Ferrari favourites.
I just can’t help but feel Verstappen still has a role to play in this… (30 seconds in front by the halfway point)

I also expect one or two safety cars, so can close gaps there.

 

[Glasseye]

Its a bit of procession this, apart from everyone overtaking Verstappen, reckon there will be another safety car in this race yet

 

[tobi]

Everyone on the same tire isn't helping.

Hello...

 

[Glasseye]

And there is the safety car, Mercedes moved onto Mediums, going to be a race now

What a great race study on whole weekend strategy this race is going to be.

Mercedes the only team with new Mediums still available.

Lando fighting for 2nd so hard might have cost himself the podium giving the win the Sainz. Could have easily been 3rd with George & Lewis 1,2.
