Both Williams in Q3 let's go
post
Holy shit McLaren
Oof, Perez...
Would really surprise me to see him at Red Bull next year.
Who would replace him? Yuki?
I know a lot of people are wishing for DR, but...is that really realistic?
How about Albon?
I doubt he wants to go back.
If Williams can find some money and keep developing the car it makes sense to stay. But if the money is not there then it makes sense to jump.
From the Beyond the Grid pod with James Vowles he was saying the team has significant funding behind it. Issue is the money is being spent on the facilities and being the processes and systems up to date.
Iβm hoping Albon can stay. He fits the team nicely I think.
There has to be someone lobbying hard for Danny Ric to replace Checo, especially after 5(!!!) missed Q3s. That's extremely embarrassing for someone in the fastest car.
Max will be lobbying against that for sure.
I don't wish harm on Max, but if he could bin it tomorrow and McLaren finish 1/2 I would be so happy.
My heart skipped a beat there when Lando was first. Excellent result either way and such a difference from the start of the year for McLaren
I literally gasped out loud and yelled out "OMG!" when that happened, not realizing Lando was one of the first over the line. But then the motorsports gods (aka Max himself) made sure RB got that P1.
I loved Lando's cheeky, "Max ruins for everything for everyone," in response to the interviewer mentioning Lando almost getting P1. I don't understand how people don't like Lando; I think he's hilarious. Obviously him and Max are good friends, too.
Excellent day for McLaren!
Yo. I actually screamed when Lando crossed that line in Q3 and Piastri too. Super happy for Albon as well!
God damn has the McLaren improved. Also piastri proving a massive upgrade on ricciardo already.
Perez out in Q1 again. Yikes.
Also what's up with the Alfa's just shutting off randomly? Isn't this the third race in a row it has happened?
Damn what an ending of Q1. Times just came tumbling down. Happy to see Williams through, the dream lives on
Why Perez was sent out first I really don't understand.
Wasn't he still at the pit exit because he went out in the exact moment the pit exit closed because of the red flag?
Looks like the McLaren upgrades might be the real deal, at least in these conditions. Still a way off Red Bull, but great to see some progress.
Disappointed with Alonso. Looks like other teams have caught up and overtaken their early season advantage, which is a shame. Losing out to, an admittedly racey looking, Williams won't go down well.
Hoping for some changeable conditions tomorrow.
Let's hope they're the real deal! I'm almost scared to watch the race now in case they both go backwards through the field and the 'normal order' is restored.
Perez super lucky there. Guessing heβll at least make it through to Q2 now
McLaren should design a new livery for every track. That's the secret sauce that's really powering the car.
Sainz sounds like he's completely done with Ferrari. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Red Bull signed him to replace Perez. He was an RB junior after all.
What are the red things hanging from everyone's ears?
Tabs so they can grab the tear-offs?
