Even if we qualify higher, we will be easy targets for the midfield cars with higher straight speed.

I'm afraid I don't think they will get to Q3. They are losing a lot of time on straights and I don't think it's the Mercedes Engine as the Mercedes factory team is doing much better.

Bugger. 11th and 12th. On the positive side free tyre choice, but we are going to get mugged on the main straight. 😑

They aren’t doing “that much better”… This qualifying was very close and pretty even, yes McLaren was on the wrong side of the tenth needed to be in Q3, but it wasn’t a massive difference

It was impossible today. They are losing a heavy amount of time on the straights. I wish I knew how much is due to the engine and how much is car related as the Mercedes team did slightly better. Actually scratch the last comment about Mercedes. They gave TOWs to each other so they are in the same situation. Is the engine so much problematic that causes all of that?

No one is forced to use the tires from Q2 anymore… Everyone has free tire choice.

Already not a part of the rules anymore. Has been gone all year.

Straight line speed is shocking. Didn’t expect them to be this slow

Let’s see how it plays out tomorrow in the race… Last year with a very slippery car, the team wasn’t doing great in Baku until all the chaos with Stroll, Max and the blunder by Hamilton

Positive of the day… Daniel was on pace with Lando! That’s what we need… Let’s hope he carries that into the race

Yep forgot about that lol. Bloody painful being so slow in the main straight. How is Alpine able to run such a skinny rear wing. Impressive.

Pisses me off that we got beaten by Red Bulls B team. 😑
