13 second lead in 10 laps. Good grief. Max's gonna overtake the entire grid tomorrow.

Max + RB is just on another level compared to others. Lewis also had a very impressive race considering where George ended up

Yeah I'm quite happy for Hamilton. Should be a good boost for his morale.

And he is starting 18th on Sunday. Is that the indication of the year he might have. On podium in one and amongst the back marker in the next.

Unbelievable how all of the euphoria went to smoke within 3 hours

Alonso 😭

Pretty good overtake by Perez though.

Fucking max...starts 4th ends with a 13 second lead, cars a rocketship.

While complaining at the start that the car is not working perfectly and working to improve it to a race winning config with his race engineer. Both Hamilton and Norris collapsed under pressure, but Max is consistently pumping out high performance.

It really still amazes me that none of the other drivers can come close.

Dudes a machine, he has laser precision all the time.

I dont think u can say lewis folded under pressure that car is a shitbox. Noris did get over eager and should have been conservative to have a chance later on as maclaren does have pace advantage on merc..

[–] DV8 1 points 7 months ago

He went wide in the lap before Max overtook him iirc. And he's been struggling with that corner all weekend.

Ofcourse Norris was in a much more extreme manner.

I'm excited to see what Lando can do after a thriller in qualifying yesterday. I want him on the top step even if it's for a sprint race (the first time haha)!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

I only watched the summary, was one of the takeovers on Alonso due to the puncture? I can imagine being taken over, but 3 in a row is a bit much for a driver of his skill :)

[–] lazycouchpotato 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Poor Lando :(

Disastrous start.

[–] Illegalmexicant 2 points 7 months ago

Will any team start from the pits? Unless you think you are going to score points, it's a good test session
