A front row would be amazing, if he puts it all together in Q3 he has a chance I believe.

Regarding RIC, I’m lacking answers… And I hope it’s not the case… I don’t know how much he has been in the simulator during the last several months (at least since testing was over), but the fact that they it was talked a lot only after Monaco makes me think that not that much and that is the worrisome part for me… It’s all about muscle memory, putting laps on the simulator would have helped, I really hope that he is not leaving any stone unturned trying to get back in form with the car.

Yeah it would be a shame in a way, unless he goes on to make it work his way and go faster!

I only have sector three to go off, I might go back and watch previous qualies and look at his corner entries. Maybe its only happened here and he is just struggling.


On to Lando... yeah, a tow would be immense, but looking right now, if he doesn't make a mistake he has a great chance of P2.

One other thing to mention is that with setup, how much closer we are to the front.

Perhaps we aren't as great as extracting the max as other teams as we were all discussing last week?
Let’s see where are at the end of Q3, it’s really amazing to be so close in normal conditions… You expect the gaps to be small though here, the lap is very short and only 10 corners, how close the field is might be a bit deceiving (or flattering for the midfield teams)

FUUUUUUUUCK. It was so close. We are seeing a new Mika Hakinnen in the making. This is so much 1997. If things go like last time expect a dominant 2022 Mclaren Mercedes.

I'm happy and disappointed at the same time. 0.05s to the pole. I'd loved a pole on merit just to show we still got it. Ferrari got poles this year, why shouldn't we be able to.

But it's great that we are starting on Mediums. Hopefully race pace is closer to the top runners.

I would say that Ferrari got poles because there were very special circumstances. Mclaren on the other hand almost got pole on merit.

And twice. Almost on pole in Imola before track limits --- us over, and now almost on pole here as well. This car is getting very good on 1 lap pace. Shame we can't keep up on the race though :/
