Mercedes quali engine mode too strong.

 

[nature boy]

So I guess Bottas isn't shit anymore

Good job Ricci

 

[Blastoise]

Merc have a pretty awesome Quali Mode. Hopefully the race will be competitive.

 

[f0rk]

Hopefully it's like 2014 and Bottas finds out what it's like to be Hamilton's teammate

 

[Xando]

Ferrari is losing a lot of time in S1

Would have thought a hotter track might have favoured them compared to mercedes but maybe not.


Long runs looked good yesterday. Vettel was a bit quicker than the Mercedes.

 

[Wellington]

Full quali results? Stuck at work 💀

 

[DBT85]

Nicely done by BOT, congrats!

Could be a tasty opening couple of laps!

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Vettel said he fucked up the lap. The gap isn't that large.

edit. nvm....

 

[Theorry]

Ferrari really needs to be looking to replace Kimi. I mean i like the guy. But dont have the feeling he really wants it anymore. Better bring in someone hungry.

Agreed. Get Hulk in that Ferrari.

 

[Zeknurn]

Vettel said he fucked up the lap. The gap isn't that large.

And Toto told Channel 4 that the Ferraris have gone for a race setup to protect their rear which could explain the gap.

 

[DrM]

That Mercedes time gain from Q2 to Q3 is just insane. Both Ferraris only improved by .3 tenths, which is eerie similar to last year....

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Vettel said he fucked up the lap. The gap isn't that large.

Not what he's saying in drivers interview.

 

[Norwegian Rudo]

Vettel said he fucked up the lap. The gap isn't that large.

He also said he was very happy with the first run...

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Not what he's saying in drivers interview.

He said he pushed too hard and was slower as a result.

 

[scorcher59]

Botty boy does it!
I fear for Ferrari to start slipping on their car development, or as people have pointed out cooler weather is an advantage for Aldo C's rocketship

 

[KillerMan91]

Third race in Mercedes for Bottas and already on pole. Hoping for win tomorrow. Even as a Kimi fan though. Losing few tenths to your teammate even in Bahrain that in past has been great track for him... Well hopefully he will have some nice races this year if ferrari replaces him next season.

 

[tomtom94]

Mercedes are better able to put heat into their tyres than Ferrari, but this means they can overcook them (see: Australia).

 

[scorcher59]

From post qualification presser "there's no word in Finnish for "excited"

 

[illamap]

Kimi not having front end just the way he wants it and having understeer definently hurts his driving. Top tier should adjust to car but what you gonna do. But i don't think "not hungry enough" accusations are warranted.

 

[Zaru]

Red Bull making huge quali jumps between races so far, but I didn't expect Renault to breathe down their neck.

Nicely done by BOT, congrats!

Could be a tasty opening couple of laps!

Last year was certainly spicy between HAM and BOT. I'm tempted to want a repeat but I'd also like BOT to grab his first win.

 

[brotkasten]

What happened with Magnussen?

 

[Mastah]

The same what happened to Perez - double yellows in the last corner.

 

[DrM]

Watching Bottas pole lap on Youtube and he receives red warnings before entering two corners after changing some settings on left setting wheel - Entry 7 and Entry 6. Are those some specific corner settings or what?

 

[Mastah]

Differential settings:

[Razgreez]

I'd love to see a tight fight between VB and LH for victory but everybody else seems more interested in a LH - SV battle

 

[DD]

When asked if he would discuss the matter with the Williams driver, Verstappen added: “Well, he’s a Brazilian, so there’s not much to discuss."

Hmm, what?

 

[tomtom94]

Bottas and Hamilton at the first corner? What could possibly go wrong?

Note that Hamilton will have the inside line but be on the dirty side of the track.

 

[Massa]

The new Senna doesn't know where the original was born.

Correctly labeling racism is important, it is not "semantics"

Also important is context.

For instance, "He is Brazilian and therefor very passionate, discussing with him only ends in a shouting match and nothing gets resolved" is very different than "He is Brazillian and all Brazillians are assholes, so fuck him"

I'm not seeing the difference here...

Even if Massa (user) is overreacting, making a reference to his nationality was stupid and it's not surprising it might be interpreted in a negative light.

"Brazil is not a race" isn't a response, it's a deflection.

 

[Rolfgang]

I'm also curious when Max said that. As others have commented on the article, in none of the interviews he did say that line. The rest he did say, but not the Brazilian bit.

Exactly. If I called all Americans fat it's hardly racist. It's a fucking nationality.

That's an incredibly stupid stereotype.

I am in not here to defend Max. I simply called out the falsehood of calling it racism. Call Max an asshole or a cunt if you feel that way.

That's an incredibly stupid stereotype.

It is. But still context matters.

Which context? You came up with this stereotype to justify what Max supposedly said.

 

[Aiii]

I made up two examples of different shades of grey that could have been intended, but which are lacking from the news article. One I would say is bad stereotyping, the other is blanket discrimination. I posted these examples to illustrate that context matters, so that context.

There was no justification intended

So basically you're saying that Latin people are unreasonable? As (just like Felipe) a Brazilian with an Italian surname, I know how much we suck, but come on, man, this hurts... :')

I just used a dumb stereotype as an example to illustrate that without context his comment can range from being a dumbass to being a fucking cunt.

I do not personally believe you are a stereotype.

Spoiler

I hope you do not believe you suck, because why? Brazil is amazing.

Was the article updated or did DD change the quote?

When asked if he would discuss the matter with the Williams driver, Verstappen said jokingly amid much laughter: “Well he’s a Brazilian – so there’s not much to discuss."

Hmm, what?

People liked to get at Lewis and Seb for being cocky but if you've watched Max and read his comments over the last two years the arrogance from him is on a different level. Not that I mind, because he backs it up, but I'm surprised it hasn't rubbed more people the wrong way.

 

[DD]

Was the article updated or did DD change the quote?

To be honest, I saw it first on a Brazilian website without the "jokingly amid much laughter" part, then I went to Motorsport.com to find the same report in English and went straight to that part without reading the whole article, and shared it here. I don't know if they added that part latter or if I effed up. If that's the case, the joke's on me. Time to get rid of that Brazilian website from my Facebook timeline for using such a shitty artifice.

I just used your post to make a joke. My father's family is Italian, and some of them (including himself) are a bunch of divas, haha.

Heh, nah you quoted it correctly. They updated the article.
