Pumped for Lando flat out beating Max in qualifying. Hope he can hold him off tomorrow.

Max looked pretty happy about having some competition, too.

I don't understand the logic of giving him an extension with Sainz being available.

Formula.uno claims the gap would have been two tenths without Max getting a tow from Perez.

Could be interesting tomorrow as this is a high tire wear track and the RB is a bit better than the McLaren at preserving tires. The Ferrari is easy on them as well.

The start will be interesting tomorrow. If Lando is still in first after turn two and everyone is filing in, I want to see how Max handles it and see the strategy that RB has.

My guess is RBR race pace with Max will be slightly better, but we shall see.

They are too easy on them this year. Have trouble getting them to temp for Q.

I'm staying in Vegas right now. Here's my window view:

I wonder how much this room would cost on race night.

Interesting, the lights stay out year-round? Enjoy the stay!

Hoping for a repeat of Canada and some exciting racing.

Loving seeing 4 teams competing these days.

Think Max easily runs down Lando and away with it, but hoping Lando can hold off Merc and Lec can move up into 3.

Buenos días amigos! Sippin’ some coffee and bout to put a brisket on the smoker for this epic day of racing.

As for predictions, I’m just going to send it:
1. Sainz
2. Leclerc
3. Verstappen
4. Norris

Hamilton crashes with Stroll and causes a late safety car, which the Scuderia capitalize on.

I was about to say, I’m just a casual fan, but the normal grid walk is one of the best parts. Who the hell are these two buffoons and where is the normal guy that everyone loves and talks to?
