Just watched qualifying, two topics wondering if addressed:
I saw several times in Q1 and Q2 Alonso's DRS open then immediately slam close like RBR last year. Was Alonso suffering DRS issues? Cameras didnt focus on him much in Q3.
Is tire strategy the reason Hulk didnt abort his flying lap, come in, change tires, and try to put up a time in Q3? I find it very concerning, and very HAAS-like if the team didnt alert him to abort that flying lap. His track limit was Turn 4 and he had plenty of time to cool down, come in, and make it back around for flying lap. But it looks like he finished the lap + cool down killed a chance for another run.

Good questions. I wonder if we overlayed his Q2 time to Q3, where would have started (HUL)?
Based on last year I can’t trust Haas or Ferrari strategists until they prove over races to be past their stupidity from last year. Haas has a great middle pack car like last year so can they wring those results out of it?

130.809 was Hulk Q2, good enough for P8 in Q3 without improvment. However P7 was decent jump to 130.384.
Still though, Id think you gamble in Race 1 with such promising Q2 times.
I also want to see video of Hulks track limit. The ESPN broadcast made it seem the track limits were very lenient.

Interesting that last year Ferrari owned the low speed corners and now it seems that Red Bull does.
I guess it makes sense on Ferrari's end. They got beat routinely early on because of their straightline speed disadvantage.
Red Bull probably has a car that can do whatever they want. They might ultimately have better straightline speed when they deem it necessary.
Helmut Marko says that the race for them will be with Alonso. Ferrari's deg is too high to compete right now.

"I don't think this package is going to be competitive eventually," he said. "We gave it our best go over the winter and now we need to regroup, sit down with the engineers, who are totally not dogmatic about anything -- there are no holy cows -- and decide what is the development direction that we want to pursue in order to be competitive to win races.
"It is not like last year when you score many podiums and eventually you get there, I'm sure that we can win races this season, but it's the mid- and long-term that we need to look at and which decisions we need to make."

I don't know where you saw that but on the main straight the DRS line is very close to the finish line. If he lifted right after crossing the finish line it would open and shut pretty quickly. Some drivers would stay on the throttle all the way down the main straight even after their lap was over.

Side note for this year as an experiment:
For the six Saturday sprints in 2023, the activation of DRS after the start or a safety car restart will now begin following one lap of action, rather than two.

This is going to be great today. I think the only way to beat red bull is going to be their errors, car problems, or wrecks.
Their team seems to be putting things together with perfection though.
Feel like it would be a little disappointing if merc and Ferrari just do not even look up to the challenge.
Alonso will be fun to watch today starting in front of the two merc’s.
Have fun watching today guys.

What we don’t know yet is how these engines perform over a full race. Remember last year how bad RBR was with reliability. I’m sure we see some of that today with a team or two.

Not sure if I trust McLaren enough to go with LANDO in my DraftKings.
Think we end up with a Redbull Ferrari Redbull podium today. I know I’m really going out on a limb there.

Lewis saying RB will be long gone and hoping there’s a fight between Ferrari, AM, and Merc.
Posted on 3/5/23 at 8:16 am to Lsut81
Yeah they all seem to be saying that. The definitely set expectations low with all the drivers how they comment. Possibly strategy to make it so the RB teams don’t push as hard to improve?

I totally understand Toto and Sir Hamilton being upset to see Alonso's Q times on a "bought" Mercedes power unit.
Could you imagine Horner if Alpha Tauri out qualified Redbull?
He would lose his shite!
