Should be a good quali. I'm going to have to watch it on replay later so I'll miss all the lols here. Hopefully the fire is burnt out by the time I get back.

Mercedes still fastest, and 2 tenths is a wide margin. Hamilton did hinder Max on his best lap Ofcourse, but still, that is not 2 tenths.

Hamilton on pole Bottas P3 which will be 6.
I think you will find it was Latifi that hindered him not Hamilton. Also, he went into the pits and I'm pretty sure got brand new tires and didn't improve. Actually I just noticed he got his second fast lap deleted.
He went into the pits after his first Hot lap of the qualy practice that was impeded by Hamilton in his Mercedes with the black camera (in the middle sector, the twisty bit) he did not get new tires, it was just a drive through, I think for data upload. He then went again on the same tires and had a very slight improvement. But T10 deleted.

It's hilarious how upset some people get anytime Lewis says anything about the tires or asks about pace....
I am you'll have noticed that Hamilton fans get upset all the same, since they jump in to his defence everytime something like this happens.

When will Lewis learn to not ask question about his car and how to improve it. How dare he as a racing car driver.

Sarcasm off

It all stems from stupid commentators aswell

His second fast lap which was deleted was 0.003s faster than than his first one, so there's nothing in it. When push comes to shove red bull lost 1.5-2 tenths in S1, making previous hamilton's comments after first runs in fp3 look even more ridiculous. Like why would you ask where you're losing time when you know you've got literally seconds in hand on engine and fuel?

Because you’d always want to know what you could be doing better or faster?

Lewis was asking where is the 3 tenths he lost, and it was bono saying its in the straights.. they were talking about that particular first run in fp3...
If u have seen the broadcast they showed they were changing wing ankle on Lewis after that.. and hebwent faster in the straights

This is typically how racing works...and I have seen similar things in the past from mika, schumy, alonso, vettel and senna et al

It's only Lewis haters who are worked up about it

True, clear to see through the facade of Merc’ usual underdog theatre
True GOATs don’t need the help of superior material to win.

Tom Brady, Usain Bolt are true GOATs.

If you're a parent you know that eventually you get tired of hearing your child cry or throw a temper tantrum for no reason. Thats whats going on here, A driver says or does something a fan doesn't like, and toys start getting thrown about!

Yes they have. As they had all weekends (bar perhaps bahrein, but I don’t think so) on normal full time race tracks.

It's not just the fans, look at how Crofty reacts to a genuine question about it on air! That's the current culture in social media which he has turned into
