Happy new season of F1!
@wes@lemmy.world thank you for having these posts up!
Thank you and everyone helping and participating! 👊👍
Awesome work by Hulk so far
And they didnt broadcast any of his laps lol
When his time lit up, I was like "whoa, he's second, track evolution must be crazy!"
Nah, was just him being crazy
Field seems ridiculously close. Just a second from front to back
Otmar might be having the biggest grin across his face.
I fear this race is going to really mess me up.
I've already found myself looking for football half-time scores thinking its saturday
Checo really not doing himself any favours.. outqualified by both ferrari and mercedes
If he keep on going like this I wouldn't be surprised if Sainz took his place next year.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. I bet RB tries to get Carlos before promoting Danny. I think Danny’s biggest advantage right now is how much Christian likes him. Though Danny seemed to have pace in the RB19 that he doesn’t seem to have in the AT/RB. I’d be curious to see how Yuki does in the RB19/RB20 for a head to head comparison.
That's so damn tight.
Vamos Fernando
Great showing by Mclaren, but I still wonder how the cars will hold up throughout the race
Damn Alpine what happened?
- Their car somehow is 10 kg heavier than last year
- Their engine still is the worst one as there is a ban on developing it
This post and the F1TV commentators both mentioned that the Alpine cars are 10 kg too heavy.
Aside from the Alpines getting knocked out at Q1, no major surprises in qualifying.
Imagine having a car that's slower on the second hot lap you do while everyone else improves at least from track evolution
So Mercedes' customers are faster than them
What a surpise! Sauber is bad this year again. I‘m a sad swiss :(
A bit off-topic but, given the lap time that Max (and Charles) managed to put in this qualifying session, if the race is close, either of them might be tempted to get the fastest lap point and break Pedro de la Rosa's record this year.
I feel like, if they couldn’t beat it in quali, they won’t beat it in the race.
Solid qualifying! The field is looking tight!
And boom
Bets on a Sainz pole on my local commentary right now
