Lando!!

I don’t know what to feel!!??!
Feel happy. WDC back on.

Lando winning means Max cannot catch our guys.
It’s the run to turn 1 that worries me.
The gap on pole is awesome!!

Wow, dream lap and result for Norris.

A tough day for Piastri, that sucks. I think Piastri would do well in a fight with Verstappen.
I really hope he will be extremely harsh with Max

As long as Norris performs a good start and covers the rest he should be okay. Hamilton will have more of a chance than Leclerc.

Good attitude by Norris in the interview. Has a huge grin and says he is going for the win.

To notice that last McLaren performance update for MCL39 was in Spa, so 7 races ago.
So….

In Brazil will this read Mclaren, Ferrari, Mercedes, Red Bull? :wtf:

I think Ferrari guys will keep it clean, they might take the lead, but personally I prefer fighting LEC/HAM rather than RUS/VER

I will not come back to that graph. Cause we know Ferrari hasn't a better car that Max.
Anyway...the pole is the result of Lando's magic. Cause you don't know where is McLaren, at Lando level or at Oscar level?
Lando feeling good starting FP2 and was clear he is the one that can fight for the Pole.
I don-t know what is happening with Oscar but is not looking good at all, but the points are tomorrow.
From what Alex said on F1tv seems Max was unhappy with the setup changes overnight and they tried to revert to FP2 setup. And looks like they screw someway the quali pace from yesterday. Hope they did the same with the race pace.
And regarding the run to T1, as I said in Austin, you have to play smart to win the WDC. So.Lando first to avoid any unnecessary contacts and as he said "eyes forward".

Also my thoughts. I prefer to start pole.and maybe to.lose it to T1 than to start P3 and to hope that the drag will bring me something.

Dear god, opened twitter for a little bit and all the conspiracies are coming in. Lando puts in a good lap, it's all in the car.
Oscar down in P8? McLaren sabotaged him surely, can't be Oscar.
In Bahrain Lando was getting absolutely murdered for being P6 while Oscar was on pole.
It wasn't the car then.

The toxicity is contagious. Except for the occasional posts and the one or two analysis channels I follow, I will try to stay as far away as possible from social media until this season ends, because some of the crap you see online cannot be described as anything else other than ragebait.

I find it best to avoid most soical media outlets in general these days.
