[pauldyson1uk]

KNOCKED OUT IN Q1

Grosjean

Giovinazzi

Magnussen

Latifi

Raikkonen

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Seb and Leclerc just though Q1 14th and 15th.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Hamilton is struggling with track limits, nearly a second faster that Bottas, but time deleted.

 

[SilentWitness]

Russel a second quicker than Latifi in Q1.

 

[Tiber]

I can't wait to Russell in a good car

 

[pauldyson1uk]

I like Russell, get him in a decent car and he will do well.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Vettel crashes, Red Flag.

 

[Jippy]

Woah, that was a big impact. That fecked Lewis's lap.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

There is a real chance that Lewis wont make Q3, its going to be tight.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Hamilton, and other drivers, will have to complete pretty quick out-laps to get round in time to post final laps.

"OK Lewis, we still have time for an out-lap," Mercedes tell Hamilton.

He will, however, surely have to head out on a new set of tyres.

 

[Leg-End]

Mercedes haven't sent Lewis, back of the queue, he could be in trouble.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Lewis going out with a New set of softs to get in Q3

 

[pauldyson1uk]

cold rubber on a cold track is asking for trouble, some have been sat there for 4 mins plus

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Stroll being taken back to the garage.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

This is going to be tight for Lewis

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Lewis JUST and only Just made it

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Lewis gets in to Q3.
He must have made it with 1000th of a second to spare.
1.25 seconds to spare, looked closer than that.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

OUT IN Q2

Leclerc

Kvyat

Stroll

Russell

Vettel

 

[Tiber]

What happened the Tracing Point?

 

[pauldyson1uk]

What happened the Tracing Point?

Think the red flag messed up their plans.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Lewis has provisional poll 1.31.391

 

[Jippy]

Lewis crazily faster than Bottas today.

 

[Tiber]

Lewis crazily faster than Bottas today.

When isnt he? Bottas is just a decent driver in a great car

 

[pauldyson1uk]

When isnt he? Bottas is just a decent driver in a great car

In any other car, I don't think Bottas would score any points.
He is a decent driver, but dont think he has what it takes to take an average car into the points.

 

[altodevil]

In any other car, I don't think Bottas would score any points.

eh?

 

[Tiber]

In any other car, I don't think Bottas would score any points.
He is a decent driver, but dont think he has what it takes to take an average car into the points.

Feels a bit harsh

 

[Leg-End]

Hamilton absolutely demolishes Bottas on his one good track, deary me.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Lewis pole with a 1.31.304

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Feels a bit harsh

Maybe , just dont think he has that killer instinct.

 

[Leg-End]

Albon should be nowhere near that seat next season, he's so far off. He will probably slice through to 5th tomorrow and commentators will rave, he's nowhere.

 

[SilentWitness]

Albon should be nowhere near that seat next season, he's so far off. He will probably slice through to 5th tomorrow and commentators will rave, he's nowhere.

Feel bad bringing it up every week but he's absolute poo.

 

[Leg-End]

Feel bad bringing it up every week but he's absolute poo.

Max is brilliant, nobody is denying that but 1.2 seconds off. That's just not good enough at this level.

Albon, nice lad, average driver. Much better racer than qualifier but should be nowhere near a top team yet.

 

[Jippy]

When isnt he? Bottas is just a decent driver in a great car

Well, true. Real battering today though. Doubt Bottas believes he can beat him.

 

[Tiber]

Gasly looked even worse than Albon in the Red Bull and hit his stride the second he returned to Toro Rosso. I just think the way the Red Bull is set up for Max (imo the best driver in F1) makes it fecking hard for a mere mortal to drive the second car. Bottas has a different situation, he is totally outclassed by Lewis but they always say the Merc is a dream to drive.

Id love to see Max v Lewis in genuinely competitive cars

 

[Jippy]

Are they saying the stewards are going to penalise Lewis here?

Slap on the wrist, its a minor infringement.

 

[Jippy]

Slap on the wrist, its a minor infringement.

Ah, ok, cheers. They were going on about deleting a lap time and had my wife yammering at me, so couldn't hear exactly what was going on.

 

[Leg-End]

Ah, ok, cheers. They were going on about deleting a lap time and had my wife yammering at me, so couldn't hear exactly what was going on.

Yeah it was for Q1 and Q2 I think. Not a big deal.
