Is this real life?

Or is this fantasy?

Caught in a landslide..

Liam Lawson into Q3...

No escape from reality...

Stroll only 10 places behind his teammate. At this rate he might even make Q2! /s

Edit: No, he didn't want that.

Lol this aged beautifuly

You mean, he wanted it too much

Aged like fine milk

Get in there Lawson!

Ricciardo: chuckles “I’m in danger”

I think you mean Yuki

Could be both really

Forget about him replacing Checo. He's going to be replacing Max.

/s

Sainz 👏👏

Edit: Kmag P6. Well done. Don't know if he can hold onto it though.

Lawson also did pretty well with P10.

No chance haas doesn’t screw it up even if kmag himself doesn’t screw it up

The haas will pit early tomorrow and be about p16, p17 by lap 15

With the RBs out at Q2, we hopefully have some nice overtaking tomorrow. Too bad Albon didn't make it out of Q2 either.

What a qualy. That is all. Race is going to be awesome tomorrow.

I just realized that both Haas are in Q3. I wonder if they will have the race pace tomorrow to get some points.

Historically they burn up their tires too quickly and start falling back. This is a low deg track, though, so maybe..

Wow, I never thought that would have happened. If RB wants to continue their streaks, they definitely have their work cut out for them.

Ferrari and Mercedes looking really solid.

This is absolutely the chance for another team to win, it's going to be really tough for red bull tomorrow. P10 with 2 penalties pending, might be a 6 point grid penalty. P16 for Verstappen... Wouldn't be surprised if they break parc ferme to try to fix that setup

I'm not sure if RB even has the race pace to challenge Ferrari, Mercedes and McLaren, on this track.

I'm really curious as to what it is that makes this track so difficult for them.

Sainz and russell have been on fire since the break. Both beating more fancied teammates consistently

I just wanted to tune in for the final minutes of qualifying and fast forward through Q1 and Q2. That didn't work out. 😄

I'm appalled how long it took (once again) for the red flags to appear after Scroll's crash. With such a big crash and a car sliding right onto the racing line that should be a split-second decision.

Those Ferraris look awesome! Perfectly tuned to the circuit.

Holy shit

Is there anyway Stroll loses his seat while his Dad owns the team? It's such a waste giving him such a fast car

They'll have to discuss it at some point, if their goal will be to win WCCs.

Apparently their goal for this year is still to be second in the constructors, and with only ALO scoring good points that will be tricky.

Poor boy's going to destroy himself trying to make his dad proud

Well he drives for Aston so maybe at some point he would step away from F1 and race their GT3 cars.

I doubt it's totally unrelated that Aston are looking at a HyperCar entry for 2025, would be a good side benefit if it also gave Lance an out from F1

Would be nice for another Hypercar in WEC and possibly a GTP variant in IMSA.

I would expect it to be competitive as well, probably have both Lance and Fernando in the car for Lemans at least

Was going to be a banger of a Q1 and then this happened. Atleast he's okay.

What the hell is going on¿?

That was a real good and interesting qualifying session 👍🏼 will see if there are penalties dishes out still.

I don't know if they'll do anything for the pit lane one, but I expect some penalty for impeding in Q2.

Helmut Marko probably making comments about how both Verstappen and Perez May not be with the team next year.

That's on him for hiring two drivers from South America /s

My only wish is for the race to be competitive

Lol, sky missed the bleep on Max's radio

Yah, my ears are still bleeding lol

Isn't it f1 themselves who provide the feed to the broadcasters and do the bleeps?

RB needs a miracle to win tomorrow. Jesus. This is wild.
