The F2 races are going to be more fun to watch this year than the F1 races

Max is only one driver in the grand scheme of things and I think after his initial comments, Stefano sat down and appeased him, which was the reason for him coming back out and saying he enjoyed the car... However, him getting frustrated will quickly push him off to GT racing and stuff that is more his style and that he enjoys.

What is the over/under on cars finishing? How many cars will Max pass today?

Someone set it at 14 earlier, which I think is a little low considering we have 22 now.

I'm thinking 16 is the good over/under. I mean, you know we are losing 2 no matter what. So another 3/5 is the guess.

I’m pretty excited to see Max start at the back. And as someone said earlier, I hope Merc lets Kimi fight with Russell. Can’t wait for this race!

If we use 2014 as a measuring stick about 33% of the cars did not finish that race including the eventual world champion.

People hate change, especially fans. 3 quali sessions may not dictate the entire formula.

Its a damn shame that Max's car fricked him... Would have been interesting to see him and Hadj both in the Top 4/5

All the teams had some level of bouncing. The one's at the front weren't really complaining.

There was one point where Alonso had to be assisted out of the car.

Thought it was Hamilton

Yeah, bc they were running at the wrong height, trying to gain an advantage

It wasn't a fundamental issue with the design, it was how teams were using it.

It was many of them. Happened through the entire formula.

This is wild, they don’t know how fast they are gonna go on the straights so their braking points are constantly shifting.

This formula seems terrible.
Lando said he didn't see the debris because he had to look at his steering wheel.

The sound of engine clipping on straights is horrible.

The sector times mean nothing in quali cause you don't know if they're pushing or not.

Not a fan of this new formula.
