There was no good reason to build a track in SA like this


Obviously a lack of space.



Calling it a street circuit is a joke.

Will take Perez crashing/blowing up for anyone else, other than Max, to have a chance.

Perez sucks but that car is head and shoulders above the rest of the field. Chuck is the best qualifier in the field and even he couldn't beat him. In race pace the RB's will walk.

The Jeddah track was supposed to be just a couple years before the Qiddiya circuit. True Saudi fashion that is no longer the case.

Alonso is money on starts and Checo gags at starts. Alonso will be sitting nicely by turn 1.

Just finished watching quali. I agree with FT that Sargeant got hosed. Regardless, he still set a hell of a lap in that Williams.

Course is too narrow and quick.


Hate these type of courses, Monaco and SA and even Baku.

Don't recall if it was mentioned in this thread, but there is speculation that RB took weight out of the drivetrain to lighten the car and that is causing some problems.

Apparently they changed a number of gearboxes and such during testing.

Perhaps Perez will grenade at the launch.

Can only hope.

I am legit fired up for today. The mere fact Verstappen is not at the front makes this thing glorious. Then you add Ferrari will be fighting back there also. Perez in pole and Alonso sitting there with George behind him. Going to be a great race!!!

Hamilton should just sit back and let George take everyone out in front. There are a few up in the top four rows that are not the same.

Working on trying to get one or two of the screens on that. Tried last year, but F1 app is a dick about casting.

I was going to get the sky sports app they’re always promoting but I can’t find it in the App Store. Am I missing something? Is it called something else?
