2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix - [QUALIFYING] discussion thread
FORMULA 1 HEINEKEN SILVER LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2023
Apologies for the late post!
Thanks for all the posts, mate. I really enjoy them
All posts are good :)
COME ON DANNY! Him outqualifying both mclarens in that complete shitbox is the sweetest feeling ever
I think the AT has improved massively with the upgrades this season (as have McLaren obviously). Didn't look like McLaren would be anywhere based on practice though. Tsunoda is right to be annoyed, he should be further up.
I've gone Sainz pole for my predictions, I reckon Alonso will do well tomorrow.
Don't hold out much hope for Hamilton catching Perez at this point
There is absolutely no way Hamilton can catch Perez at this point, IMHO.
He would have to bin it both races, and Hamilton would have to be on the podium twice (if I counted the points correctly)
Reminder sainz has a 10 place penalty (but I agree, he has the pace)
Every time Tsunoda cracks it one of the engineers should slap him.
seeing both mclarens out in Q1 is a bummer, I'd love to see both Daniel and Lando get some more success
I suppose they messed up the setup for this track. Who knows what their race pace will be
Williams has been holding this pace for the entire season or something
Albono said that their car is very temperature-dependent, so the cold helps. Combine that with the fact that they're generally good on fast circuits and Bob's your uncle.
Sandbags: off
I must say. I really like how the logos are all white on the Ferrari. So clean.
.773?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
God, mf damn Ferrari, don't do this to me.
Edit: not to mention my guy Charles is like 1.5 in front of max
Ric is not getting through to q3, but it would be funny if he outqualified stroll lol
Edit: yeah nevermind that lmfao
There will be some penalties for impending and dangerous driving lol
I wasn't sure if the McLarens were sandbagging in the practice sessions or were just shit. This answers it 😆
I dropped them out of my fantasy team so we are good!
I've just tuned in, what happened to them? Have they got the setup wrong or something?
They have been slow all weekend. They have been saying it's not going to be their track, but I don't think they expected to be this bad.
Difficulties warming their tires up I think
Wow what an interesting top ten!
So what do people think. Is Max kind of protesting? It didn't seem like he tried that hard in qualifying. Obviously he doesn't need to do shit for the rest of the season, but it kind of seemed like he hung it up early in Q3. I wonder how hard he is going to try during the race...
He didn't phone it in, he never does. He went into this weekend knowing two things:
Gone are the days where Max has had to regularly risk crashing his car in quali to start as high up the grid as possible - he knows that as long as he has a strong qualifying and a clean start, he can almost always move forward in the race. His banker lap in Q3 was excellent and proved good enough to keep hold of P3 even as other drivers improved.
The only weekend this year where Max has really treated qualifying like life or death was at Monaco where your qualifying position is crucial because overtaking is almost impossible.
Did Alonso not go for a second run?
The track evolution is kicking in fr
Why did they leave Perez in the pits???
Perez and Hamilton, alongside to get out q2. This is pretty spicy
The team really fucked Checo
Maybe they ran out of fuel? I hope they provide a reasonable explanation
