Lando I feel like is going to be choking for a bit. His team mate is in his head.

Oof Norris. That's not going to be good for his mental.

So damn close. Quali's have been so good this year.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 9 points 3 weeks ago

That was a dynamite qualy. On tracks like this where skill expression is really high for the drivers it's no surprise that the potentially best driver in history ends up on pole.

I really like this track actually and think qualy here is always such a good show. I really wish the official broadcast was better at using cockpit cameras though as on tracks like this especially that's what you want to see.

Damn, Norris hit the wall! I was expecting a red flag, but not Lando hitting the wall.

One of these tracks where you know someone's gonna bin it, just a matter of who and when.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

0.01s

Verstappen's a beast.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 3 weeks ago

What a lap George!

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 3 weeks ago

Antonelli keeping within a couple of tenths of Russel is quite impressive.

[-] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

0.007s gap between Norris and Piastri right now. The competition is so close between them.

[-] BlackEco@lemmy.blackeco.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

I wonder why did Albon stay in the pits in the final minutes of Q2, did Williams (or him) thought he couldn't do a better lap?

[-] ABC123itsEASY@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I've always been a lando fan since he joined F1 but I'm not sure he has the head to be a champion sadly which really sucks. He seems to perform best when he's coming from behind and has fewer expectations placed on him.

Bruuuhh Max is absurd, wtaf was that lap.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 4 points 3 weeks ago

Qualy around here is always amazing. I know the first year's layout was probably too dangerous but man was it something else. That "lap that never was" from Max still lives rent free in my head.
