Track Map
Racing Bulls car looking very pretty driving around track.
Alright guys. Who’s gonna end up on the wall first? Lance Stroll or one of the rookies?
My money is on Stroll.
Based on his performance in free practice, I’m gonna say Bearman.
Edit: IF Haas is able to get him back on track.
I’m hoping it’s just first race jitters. The guy was pretty handy in the Ferrari last year.
Last year he could get in one of the best cars without much pressure and just enjoy. Now he has pressure in what seems to be a soapbox car so far (Ocon 19th)
I’ll reiterate what I said regarding Antonelli and Lawson. Outqualified by Bortoletto in a Sauber.
I think Antonelli had unfortunate floor damage and Lawson seemed to have cooked his tires midway through the lap. Tomorrow will be interesting how they will work their way up the field.
Doohan cleared all the rookies, he is safe for the moment.
Isn’t Hadjar ahead?
I made that comment after Q1.
A Sauber knocking out a Mercedes. Q1 is starting off interesting.
The field is so close
Lawson and Antonelli out in q1 wow…
Bortoletto, wow. Beat Hulk fair and square.
Not a great quali lap for Lawson.
Lawson continuing the tradition of the Redbull No.2…🤦🏻♂️
Good enough. Welcome back Checo /s
Both Williams in Q3. Lets fucking go
Haha and one is ahead of both Ferraris. This sparks so much joy
Not a good showing for Ferrari but I’ll take it
Bad weekend for Bearman turning to worse :/
Loving the updated driver cams with their wider FOV. Gives a better sense of speed.
- Bearman washed
- Lawson washed
- Antonelli washed
- Hulk washed
- Ferrari washed
We’re so back
Williams notably NOT washed
Turn1 will be very interesting tomorrow. Definitely looking forward to the race.
Tsunoda 5th! Albon 6th!
Hope that Williams has the race pace to make this even more interesting.
Ruth looks good today. Her hair is tame as well. Somehow she is always standing in the wrong direction to the wind.
She is so chaotic sometimes. I love it. Passionate about the sport and knowledgeable, which is the golden combo for commentators.
Austrian commentary right now: “Piastri now has 7 front-row lockouts without a pole. That stat was also held by Bruce McLaren.”
Boy is meant to be McLaren’s golden child.
