    Stroll only 10 places behind his teammate. At this rate he might even make Q2! /s

    Edit: No, he didn’t want that.

    Sainz 👏👏

    Edit: Kmag P6. Well done. Don’t know if he can hold onto it though.

    Lawson also did pretty well with P10.

    With the RBs out at Q2, we hopefully have some nice overtaking tomorrow. Too bad Albon didn’t make it out of Q2 either.

    I just realized that both Haas are in Q3. I wonder if they will have the race pace tomorrow to get some points.

      Historically they burn up their tires too quickly and start falling back. This is a low deg track, though, so maybe…

    I just wanted to tune in for the final minutes of qualifying and fast forward through Q1 and Q2. That didn’t work out. 😄

    I’m appalled how long it took (once again) for the red flags to appear after Scroll’s crash. With such a big crash and a car sliding right onto the racing line that should be a split-second decision.

    Wow, I never thought that would have happened. If RB wants to continue their streaks, they definitely have their work cut out for them.

    Ferrari and Mercedes looking really solid.

      This is absolutely the chance for another team to win, it’s going to be really tough for red bull tomorrow. P10 with 2 penalties pending, might be a 6 point grid penalty. P16 for Verstappen… Wouldn’t be surprised if they break parc ferme to try to fix that setup

        I’m not sure if RB even has the race pace to challenge Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren, on this track.

    Sainz and russell have been on fire since the break. Both beating more fancied teammates consistently

      They’ll have to discuss it at some point, if their goal will be to win WCCs.

      Apparently their goal for this year is still to be second in the constructors, and with only ALO scoring good points that will be tricky.

      Well he drives for Aston so maybe at some point he would step away from F1 and race their GT3 cars.

        I doubt it’s totally unrelated that Aston are looking at a HyperCar entry for 2025, would be a good side benefit if it also gave Lance an out from F1

    Helmut Marko probably making comments about how both Verstappen and Perez May not be with the team next year.
