Ocon overtook Verstappen after they both started their laps. Vertappen then overtook him back into T1. Both laps ruined.Totally unnecessary from Max.
F1 2023 Season
- Thread starter pauldyson1uk
- Start date
Would Verstappen not get some sort of penalty for that?
WTF Perez thought he was safe , total cock up by RB
Perez out. Hamilton out.
Lewis not having much fun out there, at times he seems fast then looks slow.
Williams very good here. Ferrari has some great pace.
Out in Q2
11) Lewis Hamilton, Mercedes
12) Sergio Perez, Red Bull
13) Nico Hulkenberg, Haas
14) Lance Stroll, Aston Martin
15) Daniel Ricciardo, AlphaTaur

My predictions are so fecked.
Sainz might start next to Hamilton.
so are mine
Red Bul not sending Perez out in the later stages of Q2, massive error on their part.
Stroll doesn't deserve a penalty. There's no fricking way you can react so quickly, that marshall put the banana peel down and he knew tsunoda was going to miss the braking.
2 Williams into Q3 and Bottas. Qualifying is a lottery today.
The only teams with two cars in Q3 are Ferrari and Williams. Who would have thought both Williams in Q3.

Well boys, talking about fecked predictions. This is the first time I'm online in ages. On october 28 I made all my predictions before the COTA qualifying. The day after I was forced to attend a wedding. Since that day I've been on my Honeymoon, and am currently sitting in a sports bar in Bali watching this clown show

Russell on brand new softs and still could not get a P1, not good for the race
Why feck doesnt race director show Leclerc's lap?
Have Ferrari used all of their soft tyres?
This could make a fun race tomorrow with that grid.
Great from Sargeant.
Lec-max-rus-gasly-Albon-
Hopefully Ferrari can concentrate on holding Max behind tomorrow, and not fighting with each other for a change. But I have my doubts.
Terrible coverage of those last two minutes.

Sargent 4th Bottas 5th that was a messed up Q3
Well it looks like Ferrari have the measure of this track, looks like the only thing that can feck them up is Ferrari themselves, they normally do.
Sky has Sainz interview sound but Leclerc on the screen

Qualifying and race pace may not be quite the same. But we have a really mixed up grid.
I was thinking of changing my Superbru and sacrificing my 2 early points, but no I will stand by my messed-up top 10
@United Hobbit did you go Leclerc or Max?
It’s virtually never beneficial to do this unless it’s Monaco.I was thinking of changing my Superbru and sacrificing my 2 early points, but no I will stand by my messed-up top 10
Poor Leclerc is on, what, 8 races in a row or something now qualifying pole but not winning? Which is 50% the team being really shit, and 50% the car just not being as good over a full race.
Sainz has a penalty to come so it'll only be one Ferrari trying to hold off Max unfortunately
It’ll be a really strange run into T1 won’t it? Like isn’t the corner very close to the start line?
I thought it might help , but with this track anything could happen, so whats the point.
Leclerc then swapped him to Max!!! Argh! Max often has a slightly underwhelming practice and I had to pick after practice 2. I'm so used to picking Max who's usually a safe bet
My predictions are completely fecked, although I can't see some of the shock placed drivers holding on the whole race and the early pick points are too valuable (currently theyre my only points....)
Sargeant who's prone to a crash starting 7th could be interesting...

They're showing a replay on Sky at 11 if anyone missed it - not sure if that includes build up or not
Max is the only good thing left in this 'sport'
