Hamilton seems competitive again.

You guys that got up / stayed up for the sprint are crazy.

Good job for Hamilton. It really feels like the top four teams are closer than ever, almost a shame to have the rule changes next year!

Anyone know what happened to Norris's pace?

Managed to stay awake without coffee so that helped. Had a coffee this time round, I was planning to sleep again after but may just wait for an afternoon nap instead.

 

[Kanpai]

Oh dear, Lawson last again.

 

[SpartaP]

Oh dear Lawson

 

[el_dazza]

Lawson last.. he'll be gone by Monaco at this rate.

 

[Stu999]

Lawson really is having a ‘mare.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Did red bull sign Luca Badoer by mistake?

 

[Mr Jack]

Hadjar and Tsunoda ahead of Max, Lawson last. Ay. Ay. Ay.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Lawson showing incredible consistency in qualifying this year.

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Oh dear, Lawson last again.

And Tsunoda in 3rd..

 

[Stu999]

Glad Sainz got out of Q1.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Track ramped up like crazy at the end there.

 

[Kanpai]

And Tsunoda in 3rd..

Track is evolving very quickly based of the end of that Q1

 

[Mad_Jay]

I did not want to wake up when my alarm went off 10 minutes before Qualifying started after being awake for the sprint.

Poor Lawson, the track really ramped up at the end there.

True. But his results need to be better than they are. I’ve not warmed to him either as he seems to be a bit of a moaner. Unless you can back it up, it’s best not to say stuff like this:

“Then in F1 last season I think honestly, if I look at all the times he got promoted instead of me in those early years, then no. He’s had his time. Now it’s my time.”

It’s honestly better to stay quiet and let your racing do the talking.

Lawson sounding sensible and giving some insight. Shame he feels the pressure already.
