look at those gaps. wow
Is F1TV working for anyone? I get a coverage has ended screen
I had that problem too
Second redbull having a decent time feels illegal
I wonder what issue Hadjar is facing in the cockpit. Seems like something that should’ve been resolved during FP.
Clearly hemorrhoids
It’s probably part of the seat belt cutting into his leg at high G. I imagine it’s fine when he’s sat in the garage but if he goes through Spoon it’s starts hurting.
I imagine we’ll hear it in post.
Whatever it is he’s at least managed to get out of q1 while dealing with it
Slam dunk impeding case for Sainz?
Lawson in the RB out-qualifying Tsunoda 😶
Yeah, he got a 3 place grid penalty for that.
Yea that seemed super cut and dry, sadly
Hadjar next second driver for Red Bull?
Predictions for grass fire count?
My guess is 0; they sent a bunch of dudes out there with weed whackers after p2
Edit: welp I’ll go eat my hat now
NowTV not showing ads today, just giving us ambient music?
That’s an expensive mistake.
Quite enjoyed it. Like a small moment of meditation during the breaks.
Another fire lmao
Move over Azerbaijan, new Land of Fire just dropped.
Red flag. Fires again.
Too much fire
I will say I don’t mind red flags in Suzuka so much because then we get to check out more of the amazing Japanese fans and their hats!
Here’s some pics for you I took https://imgur.com/gallery/NpASvQr
Wow; thanks for sharing these! So many epic hats the f1tv coverage missed!
I’m at the race and caught the DHL competition giveaway thing last night for best hats. Absolutely insane scenes. Even a pram with working Drs flap
well, the curse is back :(
Lawson beating Yuki now. The scenes at Red Bull lol.
It was to be expected - the CashGrab is easier to drive compared to the Red Bull :(
Though he looked promising in Q1, even if he was only 0.3s down on Max there
Yuki noo
I blame the grass
I blame red bull. Why not give him 2 runs with the new softs. Better to reach Q3 with only one new set than to not reach Q3 at all
Yeah. In the end it was Yuki making mistakes what ruined his lap. But they really should have given him two new soft runs
I absolutely think he could’ve gotten a better lap out but when you only get one try in a difficult to drive car you’re pretty much banking on luck to have a good lap.
Yeah but they know he has less than 2 hours in the car. How do they expect him to nail it in one go. They could have given him the new softs for run 1 and then depending on how he did, they could have chosen to go again with new tyres.
