Much better run on used softs there. Let’s see where they finish. Still miles off Ferrari and RB though.WTF is going on with Mercedes ?
Upgrades, they must be joking.
Needs to do less self promotion and excuse finding on social media and start delivering on the track.... Pronto.Danny ric
Don’t think Max liked him very muchOh great, Herbert
The combined mass of the driver and car must not be below a certain mass. The cars are taken to have their mass recorded independent of the driver for the top 3. During qualifying they will call cars in at random to be checked. Usually the driver stays in the car for this.What’s the thing with weighing the drivers?
I mean it’s qualifying, the result is the main thing that matters.I turned it on with 2 minutes to go, I thought it was just about to start
Have I missed anything in 58 minutes before?

Probably only point of note is that Schumi would have been top 10 in Q1 but broke track limits.
And if you didn’t see it at the end, Leclerc got pole somewhat because he had a tow from Sainz. Certainly would have been closer.
Solid pole from Leclerc. Norris outperforming that McLaren again.
I don’t understand this constant necessity to make it out the Ferrari is the faster car. Over one lap, I think it is. But even today it would have been so close without the tow. And on race pace, it’s definitely not the clear faster car.
In my view both cars are extremely close and competitive. The team that wins the title will have the best driver, plus some luck (less reliability issues), plus some good strategy from their team. On all 3 of these, you’d say Max and RB have the advantage at the moment (RB reliability also questionable though, and as for Max vs Leclerc whilst I think Leclerc can rival for pure speed he’s yet to prove he can handle the “business end” of a title fight).
Save for Austria where quite clearly it was, I’m not quite sure how you can say it’s faster in the race. And why do you see it increasing?The Ferrari still is the faster race pace car currently and can only see that increasing going forward. Reliability will be key, but I think both Verstappen and Leclerc will need to manage engine penalties before the end of the season.

So Ive recently fell in love with the F1 due to Netflix's Drive to Survive but I have a really strange question.
Like who do people usually support? The team or the individual driver?
I've grown immensely fond of Pierre Gasly so I'll be rooting for him to finish in the top half even though he's with a mediocre team.

I've got a hunch that I think Ferrari will have stronger engine updates throughout the second half of the season that will improve performance.
Its track by track specific. Ferrari are great on corners but RedBull have better stright line speed. Overall the RedBull is the fastest car and best car this season.I don’t understand this constant necessity to make it out the Ferrari is the faster car. Over one lap, I think it is.

Ferrari are the faster car over one lap but on races, I'd say it's 50-50. They've been switching with RB across tracks. It's reliability where they have struggled more it seemsI don’t understand this constant necessity to make it out the Ferrari is the faster car. Over one lap, I think it is.

All depends if Leclerc can get a good start and get out of DRS early. If he can do that I'm not sure he will catch.Its track by track specific. Ferrari are great on corners but RedBull have better stright line speed. Overall the RedBull is the fastest car and best car this season.
Its going to be another victory for max as he will overtake leclerc on the long straight with drs and that will be that.
Good question.So Ive recently fell in love with the F1 due to Netflix's Drive to Survive but I have a really strange question.

I think different people will give you different answers obviously. Always loved Ferrari from the time I started watching F1. Then wih Schumi retiring, Red Bull and Merc dominance, I sort of lost interest. But now that Ferrari have sorta come back into the fold, it's been good fun. With the exception of 1-2 drivers, the quality on show for each race is incredible. The machines they design where fractions of a second count is also incredible innovation.So Ive recently fell in love with the F1 due to Netflix's Drive to Survive but I have a really strange question.

Yeah, broadly what I said.Ferrari are the faster car over one lap but on races, I'd say it's 50-50. They've been switching with RB across tracks. It's reliability where they have struggled more it seems
