Is it really that smart to start with the soft tires tomorrow if you are at the risk of losing places at and after the start because other cars start with supersofts?
I think the safer option is just creating a gap from the start

Edit: ok forget it. Others also on soft

Supers are going to be pretty shagged after a quali lap on this track at these temps, everyone will want to start on Softs I think.

It served Rosberg quite well in China.

 

[DrM]

That was a monster lap from Nico

Supersofts will be dead after five laps with heavy car

Yeah, the supersofts are lasting around 10 laps from what they're saying. You probably don't want to start on a worn set if you can help it.

He put all four wheels off track in turn 9. Should be deleted.

Won't be. They would've said so already

 

[Mastah]

Ricci can be in danger of being knocked out, let's see.

 

[nekkid]

Where's Wehrlein?

Edit: only 16th? You Q1 tease!

 

[Tempy]

Button!

 

[djplaeskool]

Button is IN THERE

RIP Wehrlein

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Where's Wehrlein?

Saving tyres for the race. Doing quail laps will reduce essential race pace for tomorrow, especially when you start the race on your q2 tyres.

Edit: wow Toro Rosso are nowhere on this track

 

[Mastah]

Jenson, you beauty! Comfortably in Q3, great progress by Honda.

As I expected with Danny, it was close, but not close enough, 3 tenths in.

 

[DrM]

Edit: wow Toro Rosso are nowhere on this track

Last year's Ferrari engine. No upgrades at all this year

 

[Shaneus]

Fuck, so it looks like Star Sports is no longer streaming F1 at all, meaning now I have no way of watching/streaming F1 live. Fuck you, everyone responsible :/

 

[DrM]

Kvyatt is totally depressed

 

[dakun]

Just saw this and had to share. Sky Germany control room. Look at the names they chose for each monitor. "beauty"

 

[Mastah]

Kimi made a mistake on his lap once again?

edit: Yep, lol.

 

[DBT85]

Just saw this and had to share. Sky Germany control room. Look at the names they chose for each monitor. "beauty"

lol. It's the monitor that they'll have any "beauty shots" in. So that shot for example, or a nice shot at the end of the race of everyone walking down the grid etc.

 

[DrM]

Is that Verstappen's sister?

[Aiii]

If this is the starting grid, they kind of screwed VES by having him do Q2 on SS, haven't they?

[Zeknurn]

Verstappen and Ricciardo both picked their Q2 tyres. So the only one that screwed Verstappen would be himself.

"Beauty shot" is a known term.

Also I believe this is now the same control room for all Sky F1 feeds.

 

[Shaneus]

What's the final results?

 

[DrM]

What's the final results?

Wait for 2 more minutes

 

[nekkid]

What's the final results?

A couple of minutes left.

Ricciardo...wow.

 

[Shaneus]

Ah, bit jumpy. Hate having no way to watch this. Fucking Sky.

 

[Humidex]

RAI outqualifies VET

 

[nekkid]

Ah, bit jumpy. Hate having no way to watch this. Fucking Sky.

Why is this Sky's fault?

 

[Blastoise]

wunderkid

 

[nny]

Great job, Max!

 

[Mastah]

Recovery from what?

 

[mclem]

Recovery from what?

Didn't get any running in FP3

 

[Shaneus]

Why is this Sky's fault?

I forget they don't have it anymore. I just need to blame someone for Australia never getting live broadcasts anymore.

So what's the end result?

 

[Zaru]

Nice quali from Verstappen but the split tyre strategy is going to fuck him over so hard tomorrow...

 

[jey_16]

Recovery from what?

probably a ghost technical issue that mercedes seem to have every race

 

[Mastah]

Didn't get any running in FP3

But it was Rosberg who said that, not Max.

 

[aspiegamer]

Does Rosberg know he only has pole by a tenth? That should be worrisome.

Kimi in really good shape, starting on the softs.

Lewis should start from pit lane on the SSofts, pit on lap 1 and then get on with it. He's fixated on starting on the grid, apparently not learning his lesson after China.

 

[DrM]

I do not think that anyone is close to Mercedes on softs. Their FP long runs were much faster than any other team's and they have more softs available than Ferrari / RBR.

Again - supersofts will be useless tomorrow if temps stay as high

 

[mclem]

But it was Rosberg who said that, not Max.

Ah, sorry, the commentators said something similar about Max.


Brilliant moment with a random JB gate-crashing the C4 coverage.

 

[Mastah]

Kimi confirms they could get pole with mistake-free lap.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Holy fuck at GP2

 

[Zeknurn]

Holy fuck at GP2

I guess I shouldn't have turned it off, what happened?

edit: GP2 is as fun as ever.

 

[djplaeskool]

Wow.
Why haven't I been watching GP2?
This is cool stuff.

Edit:
Holy shit this finish. Zero chill.

 

[Tempy]

lol, what a wild finish.

 

[djplaeskool]

"...that got a little bit PlayStation at the end there."

Haha. I need to start watching GP2 more...

 

[GrizzleBoy]

HOLY CRAP what a fucking GP2 race!!

Great battles all over the place and that last corner.....

 

[Elvin Atombender]

One of the very few times that I don't blame Canamasas for an incident.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Davide Valsecchi is awesome.
