RB seem to be struggling a bit in practice today, fingers crossed this carries on tomorrow and Sunday.

Might actually have a race this weekend.

Well…… that was a good quali session

Looking forward to see the final positions after the investigations. Hopefully Max gets a few penalties

Could be a fun Q3 now

Fantastic drive by Sainz, especially deliberately giving Norris DRS!

I’m away so missed most of the race. Just caught the last lap on my phone!

Last few laps with the Mercs on new tyres Carlos was deliberately slowing down just enough to give Lando DRS so that he could defend.

I didn’t get to see that, I just saw George into the wall :frowning::frowning:

Pushing a bit too hard into that corner, clipped the wall and it was game over.

Was excellent work! Dragging him along to help him defend the Mercs.

As much as I would have loved to have seen three brits on the podium I’m just pleased Red Bull were nowhere near.

So, who’s waking up at 0700 to watch the quali? I’m going for the put my laptop next to my bed and if I wake up then I might watch it, but I’m not setting at alarm approach. :laughing:

I am.

Alarm set.

We conveniently have a TV in the bedroom with Now TV.

Yep, alarm set to get up for Qual.
Tbh it’s not that much earlier than normal anyway, Saturday = ParkRun so up anyway.

What will sting a bit more is the race on Sunday. I have a 10K race at 0900 so hoping the race didn’t get delayed.

The McLaren’s splitting the Red Bulls is impressive when looking back to the start of the season.

Yep, hopefully they keep the pressure on tomorrow

Unlikely, max was half a second quicker, kind expect them to not even get DRS.

Maybe max will get away poorly.

We can hope

Well it’s been worth getting up early for the race so far.

I only just woke up, and there’s already 5 DNFs 🫨

Wait, Perez is out but they are sending him back onto the track. That’s a new one for me?
