Why the hell is the pole position on the right side of the grid?

More like a Lewis Hamilton, Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher. Leclerc hasnt proven to me hes in that level yet. I still am trying to find out how he found 7 to 8 tenths because that is how much it was if we dont count the mistake.
So completely botching last sector is like some of the best in this sport? Please someone make it make sense.
Yet people still go on about verstappens lap in singapore where he botched that up and crashed as if it was the greatest lap in the history of f1.
I don't, he has had many better laps than that since then, with zero mistakes.

That is not good. Starting from the dirty side while the first turn is left.

Looking at the racing line I dont think it is the racing line. P1 looks to be roughly the place where drivers move from the left to the right hand side before braking for turn 1.

Next GP is in Madrid and it should be perfect for the characteristics of Mclaren.
I expect Norris to win there with margins like Hungary.
We're on target, but we're supposed to believe that Lando found 1 second/lap in qualy by willpower. :lol:
