Field seems ridiculously close. Just a second from front to back
Right? Pretty amazing…
I wonder if Max has an answer to that lap by Charles…
Edit: He did.
Aside from the Alpines getting knocked out at Q1, no major surprises in qualifying.
Alpine… uff…
Gonna be a lonngggg season for them
So Mercedes’ customers are faster than them
So far… we kinda know that Merc might take a few races to get the most out of the new concept.
Where have we heard that before…?
Next upgradeTM, Lewis got tired of that so moving to next yearTM
Bets on a Sainz pole on my local commentary right now
No tire data/display unless they’ve set a time? Slightly annoying…
Max slaps in a banger… straight off the bat.
And Sainz responds!
Damn Alpine what happened?
- Their car somehow is 10 kg heavier than last year
- Their engine still is the worst one as there is a ban on developing it
Imagine having a car that’s slower on the second hot lap you do while everyone else improves at least from track evolution
Otmar might be having the biggest grin across his face.
And boom
Nice lap by Stroll.
Happy new season of F1!
