Watching qualifying?

FP3 doesn’t start for another 20 minutes, and qualifying isn’t for another two and-a-half hours.

Sorry meant practice

Very interesting P3. Interesting that Mercedes is slowest in technically the fastest compound.

 

[Gone_2022]

Fuck!!! What a qualifier Jesus I won’t spoil it yet, but god wow a heart breaker

 

[WhiteKnuckle]

Yeah, balls out at the end. Lots of drama in this one.

I suspect RedBull will be protesting Hamilton not receiving any penalty for the yellow flag. Max got a 5 grid penalty and Lewis gets none this week? They for sure will be protesting

Dammit that was heartbreaking. There goes the championship. Imagine if he needs a new gearbox

I wouldn’t say that. It will just come down to the final race of the season. Which it looked like it would anyway. Unless Lewis is involved in a crash, it’s going to the final race even if max finishes first.

Most excited I’ve been to watch a race in a long time. With the speed and length of the track, I wonder how powerful the undercut will be this weekend.
I see at least a couple safety cars tomorrow.

I think Crofty’s yelling distracted him.

It’ll likely be a 1-2 finish with Lewis and max. And the last race will be 1-2 Lewis max again

These cars are too big for drivers to just be lollygagging around turns at 30mph during a qualifying session. Ridiculous

 

[Gone_2022]

There is going to be a big crash tomorrow. I’ll be surprised if we make it out of turn 1

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Like Ant said, they should be using the VSC system to mandate a minimum pace based on the sectors.

To have the alert out for just those couple of turns was not enough.

 

[IDAFC21]

God damn.

My heart was beating out of my fucking chest on that final lap. Jesus

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I want to see the garage video of Mercedes when that happened.

 

[IDAFC21]

I wanna hear Kimi's radio after he got clipped

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

I wonder how much MazeSpin soiled himself.

 

[IDAFC21]

at least the stewards were SOMEWHAT sensible w/ the team fine. But I wanna know who fines the FIA? During the radio communication w/ Haas Masi himself said that white flags wernt being displayed in that incident when they should have been. So yes, the team is to blame for not giving hamilton enough warning, but what blame does the FIA incur?

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Who watches the Watchmen?

 

[IDAFC21]

 

[WhiteKnuckle]

What time is the race on tomorrow?

 

[Stink Star]

11:30

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

It’s on!

It’s on like Donkey Kong

 

[Stink Star]

Mercedes already playing dirty with Bottas going too slow during the safety car
