Gutting but really happy they're being so on it with track limits this weekend (saying this as a devout fan of Lewis)
Not a big fan of track limits, but at least they are quick and seemingly consistent with the deletions.
Why? These should be the best drivers in the world. Its their job to keep the cars on the track
Mostly because they have been so inconsistent before with the track limits where only some turn will have them and all others not. Sometimes they change them mid-race. I'd say all turns or none.
Still not a fan of this weekend structure as this will probably just be like qualifying yesterday anyways
Sprints just dont work in F1. In MotoGP the sprint is already for me the better product. But cars are just not made for sprint racing
Agreed. I had an open mind for the sprint format but I'm just not liking it so far
They should replace it with something similar to how qualifying works in Formula E or a One-Lap shootout
Already quite different.
Yeah not a fan either. I think itโs a little better than last seasons sprint setup, but still fairly dogshit
With the track drying up, timing the last lap (and stay inside track limits) will be extremely important.
Absolutely unacceptable from Ferrari already. If I wasnโt so trained by the pain Iโd punch a wall.
They are through to SQ2...Still time to punch more holes
Itโs takes a lot for me to get that mad with Ferrari nowadays. Itโs too expected.
More surprised by them getting something right than them fucking something up
Big Mercedes F
The equivalent of rage quitting after messing up.
Both Haas in SQ3
I don't understand haas, sometime they look very good at qualifying but rarely they materialise in the race. Hope they will one day be as good at race as they are at qualifying.
They just suck at tire management
Sorry, what is a "Sprint Shootout"?
Did I miss that in previous races or is this (one of) the first time this event is held?
Will only a subset of drivers get to attend the sprint race? But if so, couldn't the qualifying results be used for that?
The sprint is a new standalone race, on it some weekends this year. Qualifying for the race was yesterday, everything today is sprint. The shootout is open to everyone, it's qualifying for the sprint race later, which is 20 laps or 60 mins. Top eight I think? get extra points
Qualifying to the sprint race later today. It's something new for this year. I think this is the second race week to feature this kind of qualifying.
It's a shorter qualifying session for the sprint race later today. I think that's the main difference, there's also suppose to be some tire restrictions but they ditched that today because of the wet conditions.
The weekend structure being tested this weekend looks like this:
Friday: Normal Qualifying for sunday's race Saturday morning: Sprint Shootout (Quali for Sprint) Saturday afternoon: Sprint (mini-race) Sunday: Race
So its basically a mini quali+race on saturday which... idk
Both Haas drivers in Q3
An Russell doesn't set a time in Q2. Awful qualy for Mercedes
I was able to turn now, how is Ferrari going?
When will they begin shooting each other? Just here for the shootout
It was a good qualy or shootout whatever itโs named
I agree, I think the shorter sessions make it a lot more interesting
What will happen tomorrow if drivers repeatedly exceed limits? Penalties all round?
Yes? But since they arent pushing as much there will be way less penalties
That true, could still be interesting
I really donโt care about the sprint format. It doesnโt add anything and just seems forced
I really donโt care about the sprint format. It doesnโt add anything and just seems forced
Sprint race finishing order having an impact on main race makes it worthwhile.
Sprint race as it stands is just pointless.
Hulk above the Ferraris lmao
Hulk replacing Checonsoon
C'mon C'mon Charles...
Hulkenberg on second row. Wow!
I really donโt care about the sprint format. It doesnโt add anything and just seems forced
What happened with that Haas in the box? Did it run something over?
It ran over its own old rear tire
Woof.
