What a crap qualifying
Has to be the worst qualifying session I have seen in a while
Sorry for the people who bought a ticket for that shite.
rain really made this quali annoying
That was longer than a feckin race
What massive waste of my time
Red flag - Norris hits barrier | Verstappen takes pole
What a shocking qualifying, it was like some forget how to drive in the rain.
only good thing was is I am at work and got paid to watch it.

Actually a smart accident by Norris
It would seem that there s some doubt about K Mag.
Sky are saying there is a rule, saying that if you stop on the track during qualifying , you cant carry on

A planned one?
Was pretty weird to see how badly all the drivers struggled with driving in the rain. Was the same in practice. Looks like something's wrong with the setup across the board.
I can't look at Verstappen without thinking of Randall Boggs from Monsters inc.
After seeing all those drivers hit that white line, could have been a calculated risk but I doubt it
Do they need a different format for wet qualifying? Like maybe if you declare it a wet session, just make it a 40 min session with no Q1/Q2/Q3, like in the old days (I know it was 2 one-hr sessions across 2 days).
Good point , not really done much in the rain.
They weren’t 0.1 in practice. Pretty sure that’s what the poster was referring to.
yeah, I’m a casual fan nowadays and don’t have the memory to recall F1 like I can with football. It just seems like the Ferrari in most places is way ahead of everyone, similar to Mercedes dominance.
Believe tomorrow's sprint is expected to be dry but for the Grand Prix itself rain is likely
Yeah great point. The routes that water can be cleared have been hugely restricted; plus potential splashback up into the floors is likely to interfere with potential downforce.
Cars bouncing all over the place can be really tricky on wet surface in the corners.
K-Mag qualifying fourth in the Haas! The great comeback continues.
Mercedes secretly wishing they had kept Bottas instead of Lewis?

what. More like Hamilton secretly wishing he switched to alfaBut has he turned them down , was he ever offered a seat ?
Maybe , I have read he wants to race for them before he retires, I think they would have had him a few seasons ago , maybe that boat has sailed.

Feel really sorry for Russell. Should have won for Merc when Lewis had Covid, now gets his big chance and they give him a milk cart.
Was reliaby informed he was offered a huge contract (3-4 years ago), almost to the extent he had all but signed on the dotted line.
What's the general opinion on sprint races? I used to watch F1 in the late 90's and 00's but turned off in the 2010's. I personally hate this idea and loved qualification sessions deciding the race positions.
Apart from Sky pundits I've never heard anyone say they like them
Maybe it's something to encourage new viewers. My wife recently started watching F1, due to the Netflix show, and loves them, so I guess there is support from newer viewers.
i actually like them
I mean.. it's better than still being in the Williams so at least there's that right?
Cheers, I did not know that.
Really well done by Verstappen. The man is at the top of his game, wondering if his car will last the distance. Can't wait for another battle with Leclerc and I hope the Monagesque gets Imola too, would be nice to see Ferrari winning in Italy.
Was just a really messy qualifying. Ferrari looked quick(er?) but they never really got a chance to show what they could do with all the flags
Yeah. Leclerc says he backed off to have 2 last rounds which were wiped off due to red flags. If that had happened, I'd say the pole slots would have been reversed.
Maybe already mentioned however just in case.. Sainz has just extended his contract with Ferrari until end of 2024.
