Poll: Official 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Race Thread - Yas Marina Circuit - Race 24/24 - Showdown in the Desert

[Dr Jack]

That's one hell of a pole for Max!

 

[Reuben klang]

Lando

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Monster lap from Max

 

[SpartaP]

I'd take that if I was Norris. Better to start 2nd at this track imo if he can stay close to Max and have a good start tomorrow

 

[JonRGV250]

Good job Lando, just let Max run off into the distance and play it safe.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

It’s a cheap advantage when compared to a team that has two good drivers both trying for pole. Don’t get your panties in a twist.

Which is why not having a #1 and a #2 driver is problem.

 

[Scam]

For someone they consider done and dusted, Verstappen fans sure do talk a lot about Hamilton don’t they.

 

[el_dazza]

Important for Lando to get P2 because he'll be P3 by turn 1

 

[Trusty]

Yep, just manage Max and you're good.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

George spend half that lap sideways.

 

[JonRGV250]

Important for Lando to get P2 because he'll be P3 by turn 1

I’d put money on it.

 

[Feek]

So tomorrow.

Lando lets Max lead into turn 1 and follows him through in P2. Oscar doesn’t challenge Lando and settles into P3 and effectively keeps the rest of the pack away from Lando.

And Lando wins the WDC.

 

[edGfaCTor]

Horrible feeling Norris/Oscar will hit each other.

 

[uscool]

That was crucial for lando to finish 2nd , think that's safer then starting 1st with Max behind

 

[andy_mk3]

Another cheap advantage Max gets from not really racing a proper teammate, Tsunoda’s been told to give him a tow

And for the even faster lap he did without a tow? Get a grip

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Button, Rosberg really wasn't that good of drivers they got lucky at the time.

Look at LecLerc now he is in same car and gets to Q3 every time yet LH can't even get out of Q1 that is down to driver.

Alonso has been in awful cars yet he manages to drag them up.

Bottas didn't have that extra which Champs have he is solid driver and was always the number 2 driver that was very clear.

Find me a driver on the grid with a better lineup of team mates...

Lando lets Max lead into turn 1 and follows him through in P2. Oscar doesn’t challenge Lando and settles into P3 and effectively keeps the rest of the pack away from Lando.

That would be lovely. With Max on pole, what would Piastri need to actually win the WDC? I guess he can’t if Verstappen wins right.

 

[JonRGV250]

Horrible feeling Norris/Oscar will hit each other.

They’ll be orders for sure.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Norris max tangle and dnf gives piastri the title.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Nothing to lose for Piastri in to that first corner tomorrow, but Russell will also be fully taking advantage of Norris I think.
