“Let’s stay calm, but, come on…”
- Charles Leclerc, Ferrari F1 driver
I was unsure about the new qualifying format, but that was a thrilling session
We came so close to a ham-ver-bot again!
Now that was a great quali. Really impressed with McLaren again, almost felt like both drivers had a shot at pole, even. Piastri keeps delivering.
Disappointed in Perez again, but I guess he made it to Q3 at least. Still, if other teams are approaching RB he really can’t afford to be qualifying 9th.
Aston Martin being nowhere really speaks volumes. This was supposed to be a strong track for them. It really is starting to look like they just spent their entire budget over the winter and simply can’t afford any upgrades. Everyone else is moving forward and they’re just standing dead still.
Very excited to see Hamilton on pole again finally and with McLaren looking fast and several drivers out of position this is looking like the setup for a great race. Especially with how hard it is to overtake here a Hamilton victory isn’t impossible.
kinda liking this new quali format so far
the hards are introducing a bit of chaos, I feel like multiple warm up laps might work well?
I dislike the loss of tire use stragity. I like that teams are forced to understand how to get the most out of their car on each compound. Practice is a little more important, teams can’t just focus on max pace with softs and race pace on the different compounds.
I am kind of loving seeing a disappointed Max.
Lewis looks like a rookie with his first pole again.
Glad to see Checo back in Q3. Hopefully he continues to pull himself together.
Danny out qualifying Yuki feels like a statement. Looking forward to the 2nd half of the season.
