Tomorrow will be carnage. Plenty to race for.

Qualy barely matters if we have so many red flags.

Honestly, this has been such a huge mess. Ferrari on pole here is a big surprise but they got lucky with Mercedes --- around doing two laps. What a shame. Hopefully the race goes better tomorrow.

That is bs. Flexi wings, tows, screwed again by a red flag with the same Ferrari way. But yes FIA go and punish Lando Norris. Very bad day.

The race will probably last for the whole 4 hour slot
Just a fan's point of view

This was supposed to be our best track along with Monza and Spa. We could potentially fight for pole here. Now, we are not only behind Ferrari but behind AT too. Besides that, we have only 1 driver delivering on performance. Our fight for 3rd is over.

What a mess of a session. Lando denied 3 fresh ryre runs due to red flags, and likely to get a 3 place grid penalty. Daniel looked better this weekend, shame it was undone by his crash. Ferrari had massive tyre degradation in FP, so plenty to play for in the race.

I'm very confident Ferrari and AT are setup for quali and will struggle during the race. Assuming all 20 drivers don't hit the wall that is

Crappiest qualifying I’ve seen for some time. Almost predictable that red flags would happen and the apparent lack of decisiveness by the team put both drivers in precarious positions for little potential gain.

Ferrari had a great amount of luck today. Lando had the speed to beat them. Daniel the team is losing patience. He better deliver in the next 2 races. Excuses are over.

It’s a bit harsh to blame the team for this, just a bad weekend. In a season of 23 races, it was never going to be plain sailing. Sunday is where it really counts.

I suppose we wait for Sunday and see where we finish. However despite the crappy qualifying I can't ignore the fact that the team had the speed to challenge 1st place.

I agree. A lot of harsh comments, fueled by high expectations for the weekend being missed. Tomorrow will be a different picture.

Over? 6 races into a 22 race season? One iffy qualifying session and let's just give up and go home.

Honestly...
