The car isn’t as good as it used to be, and he ain’t no Max…

Damn, I hate this track. We spend more time watching that stupid glowing ball that the race. Stupid concrete walled dangerous track.

Ok good to know. F1TV crew don't have this information it seems.

There is also another complication where using new parts may get them included into cost cap calculations and push them over the limit

Colapinto noooooo

Man I feel for Williams. Don't know how Vowles must be feeling right now.

GASLY!!!

Verstappen qualifies ahead of Norris. Championship deciding moment?

Unfortunate Q3 for Hamilton after such good practice sessions.

How the fuck did gasly do that¿? In none of the sessions did alpine or gasly show that sort of pace

Putting it together and best possible track conditions? Verstappen also improved despite not getting a personal best sector 2.

While this is true, gasly had a pretty big jump and he was far closer to the lead merc than alpine have been throughout the weekend. That was a cracking lap

Shows how insanely sensitive this track is in terms of tire temps. Getting them working right is everything here and can put an Alpine 3rd. Amazing qualy by Gasly.

Can anyone explain what Stroll was doing?

Stroll's car had a problem with the ECU at the end of FP3. By the time they fixed the car, only around 3 minutes were left in quali. Considering that he got just one run without much time to prepare his tyres, I am impressed that he was only 2 tenths away from alonso

Kinda feel for Lewis, for once the team don't fuck his setup after a good practice and he mades a mistake in Q3.
