Mercedes ‘Ferrari are faster, they have a great engine, they have straight line speed.
Quali. People will never learn.

If that’s their top end with party mode though..

Gosh, didn't take long for the grid to go all Noah's Ark this season did it?
So the Mercs are on row 1 with only 0.023 separating them. The Ferraris on row 2 with only 0.017 separating them. The Red Bulls on row 3 with 0.841 separating them. The Renaults on row 4 with 0.004 separating them.
[singsong]One of these things is not like the others...[/singsong]
It was a nice idea from RBR to put someone in the second car who wasn't going to outperform their golden boy Verstappen. Much less infighting, less chance of him going Princess Stampyfoot™ and moving to another team. But they might want to find someone who isn't quite so far off, just in case the car comes good and they need the constructors' points.

Surely both teams have party modes and then turn them down for the race.

What happened with the Verstappen Vettel Q3 lap? Verstappen was slow, but I don’t understand why vettels overtake made him give up completely then compromise his team mate. To me there was time for him to follow on from Vettel with a gap without issue, but I haven’t seen this happen before. Anyone have an insight?

He basically just lost his head and threw his teddy out of the cockpit...
He said he dropped back to give himself space to Vettel and then the two Renaults overtook him as well — by the time he had dropped back to give himself space behind the Renaults he had run out of time.
He made a mistake cause he got grumpy. No one needs to leave it that late. All who missed out it's their fault.
Shame didn't get to see haas vs Renault.
Basically this years constructor battle. Is identical to last year lol!
Gasly has to Go. He was indeed a safe bet for being against verstappen! He could easily have been beaten by a B team today.
Well done to Bottas.
