How annoying match and F1 qualifying at the same time.

Sky making a very good point, get the test trye used and out of the way, while the track is still green.
Makes no sense to use your allocation , before your test set.

Pirelli test tyres in use
Teams and drivers are also testing out Pirelli's new tyres that are coming into use at the British GP next month.
Two additional sets of the new Pirelli hard tyre will be available to test in this session and Practice Two later on.
Pirelli will introduce a new tougher specification of tyre at the British Grand Prix to cope with "extraordinary" advances in car performance.
Far higher than expected downforce levels have prompted a change, with a pole position time that was two seconds faster than last year at the Miami Grand Prix having highlighted the issue.
Plenty of drivers are setting their early lap times on the test tyre, including the two Red Bulls at the top of the timesheet.

so far the Merc's are a mile of any decent speed.
Maybe some set up changes after the upgrades not quite right.

FP1 was the Max Show , nobody got within 7/10th of him

Roll on F1 2026.
It is, quite literally, the exact same thing.

Literally? Interesting interpretation of that word! It's really not. But, again, it just doesn't do it for me. I just root for a specific driver. I have no emotional ties to a car manufacturer.
Spanish GP FP 2 Timesheet
Looks very rainy
Logan Major bins it
Thought this would help me pass the time until our match. Thanks Logan!
Let it rain.
Lewis looking good, or it it just because the rain
Haas in hot water FIA code of conduct breached 12.2.1C. It's due to Gunther complaining about the stewards (because he is unhappy about Hulk's penalty at Monaco).

How is it not the same as supporting a football team?
Why is the quali on so late?
This has confused me as well. I would put it down to the rain, but maybe some setup changes have helped. Anyway we will see at 3pm (well i will see qually tonight as im watching the cup final)
Why have they red flagged?? There's no stuck cars
It's on mute due to the football

Gravel on track apparently
What went on with Charles?
Damn, leclerc out in q1, perez so lucky in p15.
Shit lap, and bad timing I would say. Track was getting better and better every second and drivers behind him used it in their favour.
Damn, perez and russell out in q2
Lewis having a senior moment thinking he was racing Rosberg.
Hamilton and Russel 
Some shocking laps
Russell is a prick, hitting hamiltons car.
Wtf happened there between the two Mercedes? Why was Hamilton trying to pass though?
Start his flying lap.
Think both the Mercs were on a flying lap. Russell backed off going into the lap and Hamilton caught upto him
Q3 during half time
Russel you prick
Wtf is wrong within Merc
Russell said he did not know there was a car behind him
I assume they didn't tell himRussell said he did not know there was a car behind him
