Great result for McLaren! Lesssgoo Norris!!

 

[uscool]

Anti climax the restart, McLaren seem to be the real deal having raced on different tracks now

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

One day far in the future, we'll remember there are some risks in motorsport.

Just noticed those odd e-ink (I assume) sponsor logos on the McLarens next to the left and right of the drivers.

I’m sure similar things were said in the 90’s, by people with similar attitudes to safety as you.

 

[edGfaCTor]

I only hope the race ends up being good.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

He's first, but it really seems like Norris isn't too happy? Am I missing something.

Ah, the most dangerous time... Play devil's advocate as much as you want, but to pretend current flag rules are good is comical.

 

[SpartaP]

Nah he's alright

Aye, they’ve been there for quite a while now. They cycle between a couple of sponsors.

Don't know how Crowdstrike software updates, if its completely automatic etc . My old employer were very risk adverse about any updates inc Windows , didnt allow auto updates etc , surprised someone like Merc does, but you can say that about all those big companies that have been caught out.

Not with critical cloud setups that Crowdstrike are responsible for, all rollouts should be planned and tested beforehand. Someone's head is going to roll over pushing out faulty coding. It should never happen.

He doesn't have a great record when it comes to converting a winning position, so might might just be a bit reserved until after tomorrows result.

 

[alchal]

Let's hope McLaren can actually not balls up the strategy etc tomorrow and actually deliver a 1-2 finish, with perez out way back they can make a big bite into red bull.

Norris -5th, Piastri 2nd, Verstappen 1st. We’ve worked it out.

Anyone mentioning Perez’s name, should only be talking about it in a risk term. "Could he take out a real driver when being lapped" for example.

 

[KiNgPiN83]

Saying it for months stick Danny Ric in the car and prove Villeneuve wrong .

At this point I do feel like it would be easier to chuck him in there and see what happens. If he’s still **** then let him go altogether. With Lawson and the likes of Isaac Hadjar (probably butchered that spelling..) waiting in the wings it’s pointless having a relatively old guy wasting that seat.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

At this point, we could put my dead grandad in the car, and we’d still see a better quali result. Anyone (if there is anyone) still defending Perez now, needs to stop with the recreational drugs, and start with the growing up.

 

[AlphariusOmegan]

Sargent causes a yellow flag by going off so Perez said "hold my beer". My current thought is how will Norris Norris himself out of a win here.

 

[SpartaP]

Noooo please don't think that. Happy thoughts happy thoughts, Norris will win, Norris will win

 

[Jono8]

Interesting quali.

I think the Red Bull and McLaren are the fastest cars here by a decent bit. looks good for Norris for a race win but I still won't write off Max.

Big flub from both Russell and Merc. Russell should have done better earlier in the session and Merc should have fueled him to the end of put him out later.

Big flub from Alpine too. Terrible reading of the track/weather

Perez.....what can you say. Complete and utter balls.

 

[Mr Jack]

So Riccardo or Lawson in the Red Bull at Zandvoort?
