What a surpise! Sauber is bad this year again. Iβ€˜m a sad swiss :(

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Solid qualifying! The field is looking tight!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

A bit off-topic but, given the lap time that Max (and Charles) managed to put in this qualifying session, if the race is close, either of them might be tempted to get the fastest lap point and break Pedro de la Rosa's record this year.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I feel like, if they couldn’t beat it in quali, they won’t beat it in the race.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

It's the fastest race lap, the quali times were 2s faster than that

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Great showing by Mclaren, but I still wonder how the cars will hold up throughout the race

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Aside from the Alpines getting knocked out at Q1, no major surprises in qualifying.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

That's so damn tight.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Checo really not doing himself any favours.. outqualified by both ferrari and mercedes

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If he keep on going like this I wouldn't be surprised if Sainz took his place next year.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That’s exactly what I was thinking. I bet RB tries to get Carlos before promoting Danny. I think Danny’s biggest advantage right now is how much Christian likes him. Though Danny seemed to have pace in the RB19 that he doesn’t seem to have in the AT/RB. I’d be curious to see how Yuki does in the RB19/RB20 for a head to head comparison.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

how much Christian likes him

After reading the leaked text (and assuming in good faith that they are real in my extremely humble opinion) I am not sure how much value that has.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I didn’t see anything in the screenshot I saw. What text?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Did you see the link to GDrive, or just the screenshot compilation posted yesterday? If you go through all the texts it is bad.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Oof yea. Assuming this is real it’s definitely quite damning.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Just the screenshot. I’ll check this out. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Good work by George to get 3rd.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Especially considering where Lewis finished.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Lewis sacrificed qualy by optimising for the race. We'll see how that goes.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Repeat of last year it seems

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Vamos Fernando

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Awesome work by Hulk so far

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

And they didnt broadcast any of his laps lol

When his time lit up, I was like "whoa, he's second, track evolution must be crazy!"

Nah, was just him being crazy

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

His qualifying game is really on point, isn't it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

I wonder if Max has an answer to that lap by Charles..

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Don't think Perez will be a huge threat to Max this year either..

I fear this race is going to really mess me up.

I've already found myself looking for football half-time scores thinking its saturday

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Field seems ridiculously close. Just a second from front to back

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Right? Pretty amazing..

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Imagine having a car that's slower on the second hot lap you do while everyone else improves at least from track evolution

Happy new season of F1!

@[email protected] thank you for having these posts up!

Otmar might be having the biggest grin across his face.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Damn Alpine what happened?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

This post and the F1TV commentators both mentioned that the Alpine cars are 10 kg too heavy.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago
  1. Their car somehow is 10 kg heavier than last year
  2. Their engine still is the worst one as there is a ban on developing it
[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Nice lap by Stroll.

Gonna be a lonngggg season for them

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So Mercedes' customers are faster than them

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So far.. we kinda know that Merc might take a few races to get the most out of the new concept.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Where have we heard that before....?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

Next upgradeTM, Lewis got tired of that so moving to next yearTM

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

No tire data/display unless they've set a time? Slightly annoying..

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago

This is exciting.. quite a few unknowns, still.
