The tires seem better this year? They are using the softest C5 tires, and they are getting multiple hot laps out of them. Russell's fast lap was lap 7 on his tires. Piastri's fast lap was lap 9 on his tires.

Maybe the tires are lasting longer now because they are pussyfooting around parts the track with the lift-and-coast before brake zones, and the super clipping reducing the speed just before the high-speed turns 9 and 10.

Max gonna pass 17 cars tomorrow night

Bortoleto was a bit of an arse not moving over earlier. Lindblad almost wiped out himself and his teammate.

Horner won't be around to keep Toto in check. Toto is already smiling and winking at the cameras.

We are gonna have merc 1 2 aren't we

Mercedes have built another monster. Very interested in the race start tomorrow with Ferrari’s speed off the line. Leclerc could jump a few on the start.

Sheesh. Tell me Red Bull hasn't practiced post quali/race interviews with Hadjar without telling me...

Hell I’m just waiting for the Max post race interview as soon as possible after that event…before PR intervenes. Will be unhinged gloriousness.

Speaking of, why does the F1 app not have an obnoxious alarm for F1 events? You’d think that’s important considering the time differences.

Edit: we used to have these annoying but important alerts pre apple.

I’m taking over 14 but not by much.

You can only make it slower, and then, of course, you get a bit more of a normal speed trace, but it’s a slower speed trace.
The formula is just not correct, and that is something that is a bit harder to change. But I think we need to.”

After one flying lap, Max Verstappen already has as many Q1 eliminations in this era of regulations (1) as he did over the entire ground-effect era (1).
