Sometimes, I think Ferrari wants to flounder in mediocrity.

They had good race pace last week, I think they feel better in getting results starting 11/12 on mediums than they would starting in the top 10 on the softs.

Mercedes clearly had a developmental advantage going into this formula, but the others have caught up.

Only took half a decade, but then, not everyone has their resources.

Looks like bottas is out soon because Russell's car is getting more secret speed.

McLaren better go through that car and make sure it's good for the race. They've been steadily getting faster. It's good to see.

Russell P9 - pushing that shitbox to the edge

Watching the sector times on that last lap, and I though Norris had it. Sooo close. Good for him. He's a good starter, too.

During qualifying they matched red bull in the straights this weekend. McLaren was actually fastest now

Assuming Vettel gets a penalty for holding up Alonzo then Russell will start P8.

not really. Verstappen was way faster than Lewis on the first 2 DRS straights. McLaren had better straight line speed than Mercedes almost beat out both RBs.

I haven't seen the data, but that is what they said during the broadcast this morning. Maybe I misheard

Lando with great quali, meanwhile his teammate on a downward trend.

I hope checo holds off the Mercs tomorrow.

Bottas looks like he is about to get another 3 place penalty.

Sainz might be about to get one as well.

Screwards are actually policing turn 9/10 infractions.

That was chaos. Not sure but looks like maybe 6-7 cars involved.

Under parc ferme conditions, there's very little you can do to the car without incurring a major penalty (starting from pit lane). So if the car has any problems requiring a repair or replacement of a part, his race is already over.

I don't know how they're going to figure out who to penalize. Are you obligated to overtake someone if they slow down in front of you? If that's the case basically 8 or 9 cars slowed down into turn 9 to create a gap including possibly Verstappen.
