He had a small moment as did hamton in 2nd to last corner. Would prob still have been close between themI can still see Max disappearing off into the distance tomorrow. He would’ve been on pole if he didn’t have an uncharacteristic mistake on his last lap. (Think it was sector one?) I’ll happily be proved wrong and take an English 1-2 though.

RB have better race pace than qualifying suggested..

Norris feels if he hadn't had small moments he'd been on pole. I think the results in qualifying are just a reflection on local ambient conditions, the unusual tyre allocations and errors drivers and strategists made. The RB drs advantage is also reduced at this circuit. Give Lewis his glory for the weekend but it'll be back to normal at the next race?
Over the whole of the weekend so far it's had strange results however I feel only the McLaren's performance was consistent with the last race..

Watched the highlights on YouTube. Looked like a decent qualifying. Danny Ric only 4 places behind Checo, that's not gonna do any good for Checo's confidence. I'm sure in the race Checo will go forward and Danny will go backwards in that alpha tauri.
We finally have some competition up front. Looking forward to tomorrow if it stays this close between the top 3. Doubt Piastri will be able to keep up but would be great if he can. Will be interesting to see how Alfa and Ferrari do.

They could just do a qualy compound instead? Either way it was pretty close overall.
Well done L Ham. Hoping for a good race tomorrow.

Good mix of teams in the top 10.
The first few laps should be edge of the seat stuff, but I don't expect to see too much exciting stuff after that

Alright good to see I know absolutely nothing.

Or at best when DRS is enabled..Did you mean the first few corners?
Soldato
I think it could be a few laps of action.
If this keeps up riccardo (if he outperforms yuki) will take that seat. Hopefully get some fresh meat in
Or just different tracks suit different cars. The slow nature of this race shows how much of a difference that RB DRS and floor makes. When DRS and high speed is negated, there's almost nothing in it.

I'm not sure they've fallen back much, tbh, it's more than McLaren have leapfrogged them. Monaco aside, they've always been a team qualifying on the edges of Q2.
Soldato
Hamilton absolutely needs to lead into turn 1 for there to be a remotely competitive race. If Max gets the lead he'll be away and gone.

Lando from p3 is where my money is at.
Soldato
He could be a rocket off the start. P2 is historically tough to get a good start from so he might be the danger.
