How does his Red Bull keep losing power?
Great lap from Leclerc to pull pole out of the bag 
Merc renaissance short-lived.
Hamilton ain't in that group at the moment. Leclerc will never have that ultra consistency but he's got the pace which is all that matters in 90% of championships if you've got the car.
Nice lap from Leclerc.
Nice start to fantasy Leauge top 3 and Pole bang on

What a scintillating lap.
5th and 6th is where Mercedes are at the moment sadly
aye. not really fair that they bring upgrades to try and close the gap to the leading pack and they just bring upgrades too and go even faster.
Like that season a few years ago where United won like 8 in a row and moved from 6th to... 6th
Yep Hamilton isn’t performing at his best at the moment that’s for sure. And it’s not unreasonable to wonder if he will again given age.
There is a renaissance for mercs, but only for Russell, he is driving the shit of that car
Hardly. Big improvement from them.
If Max has to change engine because of power issues, what penalty is that?
Removal of last championship won, I think
Yeah I have got him down for P3 tomorrow.
Hamilton winning is as likely as Tiger Woods winning the Masters again, slim to none. The advantage of having a much, much better car is gone forever, which is only very good for the sport.
They bought updates to fix the porposing not to close the gap. That starts from the next GP onwards once they get cornering porposing resolved, which needs to be fixed for monaco.
Fanboys.DRS didnt open, horner just said. Wasnt engine.
Moving in the right direction but still 0.75 secs off, albeit as opposed to 1+ sec before.
Yup just heard.
Merc will be closer on race pace but they are still too far off to compete, it will come too late now.
Max will win tomorrow.
Max will win tomorrow.
I was thinking he'd hardly claim he was losing power if it was just DRS didn't kick in.
I think they’ll see the result as a positive though. They are now clearly the third fastest team which wasn’t given so far and they are much closer. Not close enough yet for sure. But rare in F1 to make huge steps.
Fair enough, he was being interviewed by sky f1. Maybe he got it wrong.
Think it will be close again between leclerc and max. Reliability in that heat might decide it.
Leclerc needs to beat Max or it’s going to start to become inevitable, I reckon elbows out at T1.
They have a chance to win at Monaco as Merc is the best car on the grid in low speed corners. I think both russell and Hamilton will both win a gp each this season as a minimum. Theres still alot of races to go.
Would help if sainz wasnt so shite and useless. Just not in that elite level of driver that max, lewis, fernando are. Leclerc will be there if he can hold off max this season to win the WDC.
It's the same for all the top teams though - Perez, Russell and Sainz are all so so drivers...over-the-hill, everything to prove and average respectfully.
Decent from Haas considering they didn't bring any updates. Hopefully Red Bull can sort out their issues so we don't see another DNF for Max tomorrow. And fair play to George Russell again. Having an impressive season so far.
I wouldn’t quite put Russell in that group.
How is Russel a so so driver? He’s done better than anyone could ever ask of him in every single F1 car he’s ever driven and is now outperforming a 7-time world champion in pretty much every race.
Tell me you know nothing about F1, without telling me you know nothing about F1.
Mercedes did what Red Bull did in the second test and brought an update that resolved the bouncing on the straights so they are basically a few months behind in development it seems. I expect them to be challenging in the race.
Red Bull have had some excellent races and poor races whereas Ferrari are super consistent. The hot weather could play into the tyre management and reliability issues for Red Bull otherwise I do fancy Max if he has a good start.
I don’t think there will be much over taking tomorrow and not many drivers are out of place.

Well yes and no.
The upgrades they have brought have improved the car and the times, but RB and Ferrari have also improved, Mercedes still 3rd best team, with ground to still make up.
Agree with all this.
Great driving from Russell, monster lap from LeClerc and again Sainz has a shocker. Hamilton struggling with the new car. Max for race pace but tire management will be the deciding factor tomorrow. What a lap from Ferrari.
