"The two tenths loss are in his head, he was overdriving. We see it a lot with Lando, when the pressure is on, the pressure gets to him"
Paraphrasing, but that was Nico Rosberg and Naomi Schiff.
Let's wait for the race. Some were claiming the superior tire wear was coming from the flexi-wing as well, so pace tomorrow will be telling.
I think track temperature is a more powerful driver than track layout, qualifying here was run from 48 down to 43 degrees.
Oh I actually think it's almost guaranteed that Max is running into P1 tomorrow after the start.Tvetovnato wrote: ↑31 May 2025, 17:25Piastri is delivering as usual. But tomorrow, provided both cars survive Verstappen’s divebomb tomorrow, I think Lando will best Piastri convincingly. The heat of the summer will play to Lando’s advantage now, Piastri still has some way to go there I think. But McLaren MUST make sure to prioritize beating Max above anything else, it’s serious now.
I wasn't a fan of Nico Rosberg, for me was an average driver with an incredible car underneath. And that thing with winning the championship and retiring was like when we were kids and the one with the ball after an eventual win was taking the ball home, end of the game.
You clearly didn't follow Nico's career, he was quick from the beginning. How you can beat a teammate as great as Lewis in six races straight and not be top shelf is beyond reason. His comments are always the insights of a champion driver, we need more of that expertise. Lando's lap was scruffy, Oscar's was smooth and measured. I support them both, being not the fanboy type. Apart from having papaya in my blood!SilviuAgo wrote: ↑31 May 2025, 17:33I wasn't a fan of Nico Rosberg, for me was an average driver with an incredible car underneath.

So I don't put much on Rosberg's words. He is more like a "click bite" guy than a real analyst. Or maybe he know the mind game cause Lewis crushed him for tenths of races.
Anyway, a huge performance from McLaren and really needed after all this FW saga. Including some of our forum colleagues mentioning a HUGE impact for McLaren and putting Rob Marshall and Andrea Stella words into liars side.
Waiting for tomorrow and with a good start my only curiosity is if Zak will allow them to fight later in the race.

Tomorrow both drivers should aim to block Verstappen and then once they disappear in the distance they can battle it out.
Per Stella, it was just the high speeds that the RB would enjoy.
