Damn that was fast!
Just hope Lando can keep it clean into Turn 1

[Seerix]

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

So the rocket ship changed the garage.

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?

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".

No fighting, please. A smooth race from start to finish.

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.

Been avoiding social media for a few races now.
I’ve seen it creep in on here too in the race thread…

[Big Tea]

Lando is not really racing the Ferraris for titles, and it would do Oscar more good if Lando won than if Max won, although it could put Lando ahead of Oscar.
Long tern (well, not that long now) Oscar has to be in front of Max and Lando winning will ease that. A strange combination of possibilities on offer here

100% this

Even if Lando loses P1 at the start, I expect he'll get it back soon enough if the car continues with its history of being better innthe race.

Great job by Lando.

They showed a comparison of laps between Norris and Leclerc. It looked as if Norris is faster in S3, especially with coming onto the straight. Should be good for overtaking.

[Jambier]

Is the podium realistic for PIA?
The Ferrari looks very strong here.

NOR must avoid to crash, they will be very agressive I believe for their only hope of a win this year

[Ben1980]

Ferrari are being chased down by Red Bull, but not far off Merc. For them this is a chance for big points. I dont think thry do anything stupud at the start.

Didnt watch Qualifying, but seems Lando was supreme.
