22 0 ReplyShall I push on and we do some pit stop training?
Is Max bored
17 0 ReplyGP and Max need to do couples therapy after this weekend
17 0 ReplyDid the commentators already mention that the williams is a rocket in a straight line? I might have missed it
13 0 ReplyPiastri nooo
11 0 ReplyAh yes the national anthem cape
11 0 ReplyLook GP, no hands!
11 0 ReplySo GP told max that it wasnt smart to take so much out of the tire in the out lap and max decided to show him by just going 7 tenth per lap quicker than perez? lol
10 0 ReplyIt was great to see the sprint race post being quite lively yesterday compared to what I've seen previously around here.
Hope the pace keeps up and we get some good content here today.
Also, go Oscar! Been waiting sooo long to see my team back at the front.
9 0 ReplyLet's go Oscar! Not sure how the McLaren is gonna hold up on race pace tbh, but hoping for a good result nonetheless.
9 0 ReplyWhat is happening to Max and his engineer? They seem pretty annoyed at each other this weekend
8 0 ReplyLet's go. Need some excitement. That snap for VER was scary.
7 0 ReplyStarting grid accounting for Max and Magnussen penalties

7 0 ReplyThat's a great move by Ocon, caught Tsunoda completely off guard.
7 0 ReplyBrilliant race for Yuki so far.
6 0 ReplyTsunoda up to 6th. Wow.
Do you guys think they'll retire Sainz once he falls out of points?
6 0 ReplyI'm surprised Max hasn't replied and called GP a cunt yet.
6 0 ReplyThe cooldown room audio is so much better now, and has been for the past 3 or 4 races. I'm glad they fixed that.
6 0 ReplyPerez is such a joke
6 0 ReplyBernard was waving his green flag with such enthusiasm! Great that Crofty remembered him, that was quite wholesome.
6 0 ReplyI am waiting for VER to ask to stop for the fastest lap.
5 0 ReplyWhat did McLaren do to get cursed with this luck.
5 0 ReplyIt is absolutely annoying that they show me Verstappen exiting a car and show the grandstands when there is still racing going on.
5 0 ReplyThose glasses though...
5 0 ReplyMax having another FP4 Sunday.
5 0 ReplyOkay, see you guys after the summer break.
5 0 ReplyGasly has to be the unluckiest driver of the season. What the hell Alpine? Can he get one clean weekend?
4 0 ReplyGasly extending those Softs is impressive, if the rain comes soon it could be phenomenal for him.
4 0 ReplyNice one, Albon!
4 0 ReplyAston Martin is making the exact same gamble that didn’t work in Monaco
4 0 ReplyLol , 2 seconds Ted, from Ted.
4 0 ReplyI say this every GP… Max is too fucking good
3 0 ReplyPerez cutting over and then going for the inside caused utter chaos behind him 🤣
3 0 ReplyBig ASMR vibes from Vowles.
3 0 ReplyWicked driving from Max. Who could compete with him in the RB? Because it ain't Sergio..
3 0 ReplyNorris driving like a beast!
3 0 ReplyThey should give RBR Renault engines again after the summer break.
3 0 ReplyVery impressive by Ocon!
3 0 ReplyMax gonna be so pissed if Lewis takes his fastest lap
3 0 ReplyMax is just so good. I wonder if anyone could beat him right now even in equal machinery. I mean, Perez isn't a generational talent, but he isn't bad either. Max just casually pulling a 20s gap on him in the same car and tires is insane. And before that Max did the same with Albon and Gasly, who are also very respectable drivers.
3 0 ReplyJust tuned in, what the hell happened
2 0 ReplyNow this is a Fernando Alonso I can recognise.
2 0 ReplyGreat move by Gasly! Maybe points are on the table?
2 0 ReplyThat national anthem reminded me of a high school spirit week production. Not a bad thing! Just not what I was expecting.
2 0 ReplyVerstappen overtaking Checo without DRS as if making a point. Ridiculous.
EDIT: my bad, he definitely had time to open it.
2 0 ReplyThis is actually gonna be the day where Sargeant gets points 🦅💥🇺🇲🦅💥🇺🇲🦅💥🇺🇲
2 0 ReplyLooking forward to Albons race. Great until now.
2 0 ReplyAny bets on when Max ends up in P1?
2 0 ReplyHere we go! I missed having a Belgian GP that started on time (and started at all).
2 0 ReplyIs this normally an undercut or an overcut circuit?
2 0 ReplyThis weekend just keeps getting worse for Haas doesn't it.
2 0 ReplyThat pass is just too easy...
2 0 ReplyWhy the hell did McLaren pit, surely another 2-3 laps on slower tires before the rain would have been faster
2 0 ReplyThe crowd knows something.
1 0 ReplyThis must be the record of changing conditions in a competitive session in one weekend
1 0 ReplyShame the gamble to extend the first stint didn't pay off for Gasly since the rain never came (and that Alpine screwed up his stop). He had a great drive but will get forgotten again I think. Very unlucky season for him.
1 0 ReplyStroll, 4.3 seconds for soft's...
Just bet his entire stack on red
1 0 ReplyLeClerc looks so happy and not at all like a PTSD survivor.
1 0 ReplySo perez will start his 2nd row of Q3 failures when max overatkes him in a few laps
1 0 Replymax is insaaaane when he's angry
1 0 ReplySo.. um.. Daniel Ricciardo
Does Tsunoda have car improvements he doesn't or something?
1 0 ReplyDon't tell me AT are screwing Yuki on strategy here.
1 0 ReplyWhat happened to Sainz?
1 0 ReplyGreat start by Nando so far, good that he could shake off his mistake from yesterday.
1 0 ReplyI can't wait to see just how Ferrari manage to balls up this 6-7 laps of rain for Leclerc
