Agree with this.

Max with hard tyres 1:29 lapmaybe no fuel?
I doubt they'd put him on on hard tyres with low fuel.
Outside of the opening laps, i dont suspect we will see either RedBull on screen much tomorrow. They will be long gone down the road. When your a second a lap quicker than mercedes and ferrari.....
He's still on track so I don't think he was on fumes
Looks like it'll be one stopper for RB
Russel was about to reach or beat red bull's time so you can't read too much into these practices.
Not really it was on the expense of the third sector.
I hope Ferrari are derated for some reason because otherwise its 
probably afraid their engines will blow upI hope Ferrari are derated for some reason because otherwise its
Vestappen running hards and still faster than everyone.
Ferrari's both 0.5s down in 1 sector on softs on quali sims.
Damn, RB almost a second ahead of 3rd place car in FP3 and they are still sandbagging. Mental.
I'd you look at the times and ignore the No1 team it actually looks very interesting
Super Max a full two seconds faster than the best non-Red Bull car
They should make it like LeMans and put RedBull in a seperate class to the rest.I'd you look at the times and ignore the No1 team it actually looks very interesting
Honestly, we can moan about regulations all day and there is serious question marks over how FIA handle all of that. And debate all day how great Max is. But damn, the engineers at Red Bull should be incredibly, incredibly proud of the cars they’ve put out last year and this year. This year in particular, not only did they start with the fastest car from last year, it feels like they’ve somehow made the biggest stride forward too (with the exception of Aston perhaps, and that only because they’ve nabbed some of RBs engineers). They’ve just executed at a level far beyond any of the other teams. It’s a brilliant achievement.
Shaping up to be a 2004 season.
It's a combination of best driver, best engineering talent, fastest pit crew and best strategy team. Must be quite crushing for the rest of the contenders. That being said, both Merc And Ferrari should be way above where they are currently and that's entirely their fault.
Leclerc said they were not showing their full potential yet, on paper Ferrari should do better here. Will be strange if they are so far off pace
I dont think driver wise it makes that much of a difference when your that far ahead. Put hamilton, alonso, leclerc in the RB, and they would achieve the same.
The biggest single difference is the floor, its simply the most important bit of the car now and RB are light years ahead of the rest on that front.
Yes ferrari and mercedes have made a mess of their own accord.
Norris probably out in Q1 now, why the feck did I put you in my top 10.
Max 0.500 casually ahead of his own teammate
Sargeant had his laptime deleted for track limits at turn 27. Make of that what you will
okay, we will
you can't go off track there mate
Sargeant has had a mare after the limits thing.
We will have couple of safety cars tomorrow surely.

They were instructed not to cross that one white line. Track limits doesn't mean the entire car has to be outside the track.
oh, ok. thanks
Verstappen starting P15 tomorrow it seems
Will still win in his Red Bull rocket.
Will make the race a little more interesting
As if he is not going to win tomorrow even if he starts last.
Wow, max is out. He will still win tomorrow. Will be interesting to see the RB on full beans.
So not a snooze fest now for tomorrow.

Alo vs Perez for pole it is. My money on Alonso.
If someone doesn't play bowling at the start, probably yes.
Kudos to anyone who gets the pole position point this week.
What happened to max
Decent from Piastri, Q3 after all.
