FP2 mixed up grid.
F1 2023 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Max looked pretty slow for his usual pace, but I wouldn't worry about it.
RB and Merc didnt do any qually runs. The tyre allocation experiement for this weekend qualifiying makes the results of FP1 and FP2 pretty useless.
Taking Pole by .5 sec confirmed then.
Tsunoda 2 - Ricciardo 0
It literally might become a shootout between the two for the RB seat and it could be glorious. Curseword Yuki on the radio confirmed.Tsunoda 2 - Ricciardo 0
Red Bull are really struggling. Either the update isn't working or they're unable to find the right setup for it with this shitty new format.
Max will be on pole comfortably, probably got engine turned down.
Wonder how these kids got the sky role did they win a competition?
Their snippets are actually really interesting just had one of them speaking with Charles

Alfa Romeo seem to have made good progress
It will be interesting end to this.
For me it seems that the track is speeding up on hards every new lap, like when it dries after a rain. Those who set the clean lap latest will probably end up in Q2.
Wow Russell is out
Crikey
Why did Mercedes go out so late

Mercedes are so shit. It pleases me.
Zhou with a phenomenal lap.

Decent drama with hards. Ricciardo wins against Yuki.
Looks like Russell was trying to open a gap but a few cars jumped ahead of him.
Alpine's front wing won't last full race 
Crazy plan to only run one lap right at the end of quali.
On hard tyres as well. That can't put them in the best condition for a flying lap. Russell being half a second behind Hamilton just isn't good enough though, he has to start showing a bit more I think.
Oops track limits Max
McLaren though, kudos
Once the other teams start to catch up with Red Bull the Max hype can finally start to die

Don't get ahead of yourself, Max was definitely preserving the tyres this lap. Incoming crushing domination in Q3.
Some hopium from Sainz Someone track limits? Please?

You better stop hoping that will happen soon, I have a bad news for you.
This looks like a repeat of Monaco with such close qualy
I hope they catch up in a way and the hype is cemented just to see whatever excuses people come up with now to be critical of the guy.Once the other teams start to catch up with Red Bull the Max hype can finally start to die

Tee hee. Very funny.
Verstappen has had the benefit of saving an extra set of tires going into Q3 in previous qualy sessions, doesnt have that advantage here.
Weird interview with Russell, starts by blaming cars overtaking him at the end of his out lap "including Gasly" then changed his mind mid interview and end it's by saying it's not the other cars fault.
this is good
Breaking news: Perez makes it to Q3!
No he was always blaming the strategy. He said that drivers are doing what's best for them and that's okay.
I was about to say AM upgrade does not seem to be working.
Hamilton on it today
Wow did not expect that
