Whew, it's hot and humid here (for Suzuka, for sure). Crowd is fantastic (and geared up in fun home made stuff), and so is the food :)
γγοΌηΎ¨γΎγγοΌYou lucky fucker...
Oooooooh I'm so jealous
What food have you been having?
It's great. I've been to a fair few races and this is one of or the best one to go to. Extremely safe and respectful, easy to navigate (though a long wait in the rain for buses to the train station last night), tons of visibility, it's beautiful with the mountains, and it's one of the cheaper ones to attend!
Some yakisoba, a beer, and a fantastic ice cream. All very cheap, beer is Β₯500, like $3 US, and food is similarly inexpensive
Ever since I learned Japanese, I've been wanting to make my way out to Suzuka. How'd you manage to snag a ticket? Secondary market?

Man max is just different.
Also tsunoda outqualifying his idol
Damn Max. Moments like last week really put into perspective how insane this is. Max pulling so much time on everyone, and meanwhile Checo isn't even second. Sargeant's position is also getting quite bad. Until Singapore I was still thinking that they'd give him another year. He's not that fast or promising, but sometimes rookies just need that warmup year to get going. Look at Yuki for instance. But he just keeps crashing, and the pace isn't great either. There can be some lenience for rookies, but with Piastri and Lawson showing what rookies can do, I'm not sure if Sargeant will get that seat next year.
Yuki to Q3! ι εΌ΅γοΌLet's goooooo!
Logan Sargeant doing what he does best...
At this point it seems better to just let Albon drive by himself as Logan cost the team so much money.
It might seem harsh, but I doubt we'll see Logan in F1 next year.
I'm also biased, hoping Mick Schumacher gets another shot. Despite his initial struggles, he showed improvement and scored points in the second half of the season, something I can't envision for Sargent.
Wow. Lawson absolutely having a hell of a quali.
Side note: I'm surprised he hasn't done any sort of CM for the identically-named conbini chain.
Edit: Tragic Q1 for Alfa Romeo.
Max putting down a 1:28 and addressing the crowd. He must be really happy.
The Max Show is back on, everyone.
RIP Sargeant.
Oof Sargeant. Making it really hard for people to support him for that last available seat.

Absolutely insane that Max is going sub-1:30 on older tyres. He's not human.
Hoping Lawson gets the Williams seat and he and Alex demolish the (re-branded) AlphaTauri next season.
How many European fans up early this weekend for the racing?
Must be nice having basically every race be watchable.
Qualy is at eight so not really a big deal, no? And tomorrow it'll be seven for the race start. It means in both cases I can spend the rest of the day doing other stuff, so I wouldn't mind every weekend being like this.
What the FUCK?! Did Max really just almost put up a sub-1:29?!?!
Sargeant's done. Gonna be interesting to see how Q1 is handled since not even 15 drivers set times. What happens now?
What do you mean? The clock is stopped during red flags
I forgot clocks stop during red flags. Ignore me being an idiot.
Yo where did tsunoda find that lap from. Almost as quick as perez with both on similar tyres
Holy shit, Ferrari!
