Qualifying setting up the race nicely.

- Start date
Red Bulls looking super quick today. Max's to lose tomorrow!
Even their fans are a bunch of cnuts.
Embarrassing fans as per.
Slipstream from Perez.
Like peas in a pod.
Honestly might not be the worst thing for Hamilton to not have Max up his arse from the off
"I'm glad I can see where he is." Makes it sound planned!
Makes it sound planned!Lewis "at least I can see where he is"
I think you have to be worried about that pace if you’re Merc. Even without the tow Max would have had that quite comfortably.
Totally agree. Although Red Bulls race pace looks good.
I don't think so.
They looked quick with a tug and on soft's. Before that Merc had the pace.
50/50 for me RB did not want to start on softs, dont care what Horner says.
Missed the start though, how was RB forced to go in with the softs?
One lap pace is very different to race pace with 100kg of fuel on board.
Max destroyed the only mediums they had left.
Don't agree, very 50/50 for me. Strategy needs to be bang on.
Exciting though huh!!!
The Red Bull has been a great car over one lap, the Merc generally has been great in race trim.
Its perfectly balanced, a clean lap one and this will be great.

It was neck and neck on the mediums before Max flatspotted, with RBs comfortably quicker on softs.
If it's going to come down to strategy, Red Bull must have the edge too, given Merc's propensity to feck things up.
Get in there... Maxxx. Now he can drove off while Perez crash in the back of Hamilton.
He had improved through sector 2 on that last lap he aborted, right?
Not a disaster for Hamilton imo. Strategy is going to be very important tomorrow. If Hamilton was on pole he would've struggled to keep Verstappen off him on that first corner anyway.
Personalities and dislikes aside, Max and Lewis do make the sport interesting.
Obviously, they are quicker tyres.
RB will not want to go for a two stopper as that would mean they have to get 23ish seconds from somewhere. Pole usually wins but the pole sitter doesn't usually start on different tyres than the rest.
The soft's will start to go and the advantage will go to Merc. Can they take advantage though, that's the question.
When they were both on sofas in Q3.
Pole always wins here, but they've tweaked the track so who knows.
All about strategy tomorrow - Mercedes just didn’t get the tyres in the window. They’ll have strong race pace tomorrow.
The tow played a massive part
But the strat isn't like to will be tomorrow. RB could be looking at a two-stop. It'll be hard for them to get that extra 23ish seconds back
I agree. RB could still do it but that second stop could become a problem
Yeah thanks? Im obviously aware of that. Nonetheless all through practice the RB race pass was actually better than their qualifying relatively to Merc, so yeah, my statement still stands.
Think similar. It wasn’t really the tow that made the lap, as Karun’s side by side showed. It was the stability and grip in sector 3.
I don't think the mediums are a big advantage in the race, because the only tyre related comments i recall have been about temperature, right?
I can't remember anyone over the weekend complaining about graining or anything like that, or am I wrong here?

This should make for an interesting finale. P1 on softs vs P2 on mediums. Strategy will play a huge part during the race. Looking forward to it.
58 laps... how many laps will a hard stretch to before its buggered?
I really wish I’d put some money on Max when he was 2/1 to win the WC after last weeks race. Neck and neck with the bookies now
You have 570 some posts and almost all of them are you throwing your toys out the pram about Max in some way or other. Are you sure you wouldn't be happier in the Xbox vs PS thread?
The lack of self awareness is incredible! I reckon you might actually fail a Turing test!
It's accurate. He really is being a whiny, arrogant dickhead in that interview.
The irony is brilliant.You have 570 some posts and almost all of them are you throwing your toys out the pram about Max in some way or other. Are you sure you wouldn't be happier in the Xbox vs PS thread?
I think a little reflection on your own posting would serve you better than counting mine.
Can we just stop with the nonsense already? It’s quite clear that none of you will ever find ground to agree on, life would be so much easier and better if you all just ignored each other.
