The Red Bull had the pace on the Mclaren.

I'd honestly not want to be Max target in T1 tomorrow.

So is it better on 2-3? I was expecting more though today.

Red Bull not even bothering to let Tsunoda set a time of his own, lol.

2 and 3 is fine. Just manage from there though Oscar needs p1 probably.

Yeah Oscar needs it more.

Oscar would hope for a coming together between Max and Lando.

If we don't get drama tomorrow, I will be relieved but surprised.

No time for Tsunoda, used to tow Verstappen twice.

The Red Bull continuing the year long trend of finding more from FP to Q.

We are probably in the safest place.

That was a pretty weak showing from NOR & PIA. Luckily, RUS bottled it.

Just can't let Max or Oscar do anything stupid for the race, for Lando.

That's good. P2 and P3 are good to start, we can get away from the rest and Piastri can defend Norris or use team orders if needed. The only thing they need to do is go podium.

Why weak? Both cars were very close, which is probably not far off how quick it could go. RB was just faster. As many thought it would be.

Dont mind them. They still think Max is driving a tractor.
