While the pressure is off Yuki to score points from last on the grid, there is still motivation for these guys to out-qualify each other.


There was some talk of using Yuki for a tow for RIC in qualifying. Would be legit if so.

Christian must really be sour on Yuki, because all the talk is Liam or Ricc for the seat.

Yuki as max’s teammate could really be something special… for the internet and fans. It wouldn’t be good for the team, but we would get some amazing radio messages.

Might be the last thing he sees in an F1 car.

Speaking of, is the assumption he gets demoted to vacarbalphawhateverthefrick? Or just booted to reserve?

FP3. It's wet!

The announcers are in fact talking about how the cars are using dry setups, and how that makes things trickier.


Red flag. Stroll has already crashed.

That's a good question. I've worked out eight possible scenarios for the four Red Bull seats for the rest of the 2024 season (including no driver change). There are so many possibilities because we don't know if Checo would be kicked out completely or if he would be put in a VCARB seat. The other thing we don't know is if Red Bull is trying to make sure Lawson stays with Red Bull or if they are willing to risk losing him because they are ready to put their faith in Hadjar for the future. If they want to hang on to Liam, I think they need to put him in a seat after summer break, which means either Checo or Danny needs to be demoted to reserve.

After the race on Sunday I am going to post the eight possibilities and ask people to make their prediction for what the Red Bull seats are going to look like after the summer break.

Woke up to see the red flag, but they never said the reason.

I assumed weather was too bad.

At very end when I saw Checo's car taken apart, was secretly hoping he had caused it, but window licker is just as good.

Well FP3 was a bust. There were only 11 minutes of cars on track before Lance binned it. At the very end of practice only eight cars came out to do practice starts. Note that since the race is expected to be dry, doing practice starts on full wet tires doesn't provide any data for the race.

Qualy is going to be wild. Anyone can botch Q1 and be left behind.

If Checo Qualifies Behind Max he might be done in F1

Should have never gotten a new contract. RB and Horner are morons for even entertaining it.

Post-summer:

RB has signed Sainz for 2025
Ric is in RB for rest of year
Lawson brought into VCARB

Haas must have decided to take DF off the car as it is horrid in the middle sector.
