[the wopster]

It’s the car , always been even the car . Pmsl .

Aww look who’s back

 

[Junglist]

I didn't think they'd both get through Q1. Eesh

 

[Kanpai]

That's very unusual, 6 tenths off from GR.

 

[Journey]

So Lewis will likely be on the podium again tomorrow?

 

[steve45]

Ooofff! Thats interesting! The car clearly has it, look at George. Either they got the setup all wrong or he just couldnt put it together.

 

[.:MBK:.]

gotta be running very different setups surely for that delta between both cars.

 

[SDK^]

From Pole position to 16th on the same track, in just 4 months.

 

[XeNoN89]

Wow. Didn't expect that. With him being so far off Russell in the same car surely something else wrong there? Maybe an issue with the car or how it's been setup?

 

[el_dazza]

The car looked horrible tbf.

 

[iamtheoneneo]

So he will be on the podium tomorrow then. Il put my bets in now.

 

[Mr Jack]

Close this season. That delta would have put him 8th or 9th many a season.

 

[muon]

gotta be running very different setups surely for that delta between both cars.

That's usually the reason.

However, the way it has swung from last week to this week between them, suggests Mercedes don't have a clue.

 

[Kenai]

4th to 18th within 0.9s must be one of the closest Q1 groupings for quite a while?

 

[Concrete]

If ever there was a track which was a dice roll for a start grid place mix up, this is the one.

That being said, something is off.

 

[Mr Jack]

Hasn't happened since 2009

Wow.

 

[the wopster]

That cars got no chance of going through the field tomorrow, hopefully like max last year he will get lucky with red flags to get him up the order

 

[adam cool dude]

Merc engines are just pure garbage this season. Merc's season is a wright off already. It is never easy coming back when the engine is a dud.

 

[cuke2u]

Maybe Russell just did a better job and finds the car's setup more suited to his driving style. If Lewis gets on the podium then he'll need to luck into it...

 

[Psycho Ned]

Wow.

Sounds about right that, that 2009 McLaren was a right pig for the first half of the season!

 

[Bazzards]

Luck with red flags and lucks into staying in 16th. His car has no pace.

The pace is there in the car, look at Russell
