Well, Ferrari put up a fight, it was interesting there in the beginning, but Max is superhuman as always lol

Is he just going to win every race this season and create some ridiculous record?

It's only the car max has said it himself
And perez is just the worst driver on the grid and he can still achieve P2, from tech analysis the car is at least 1 second faster in race pace but they are not using all the power to not trigger an intervention by the FIA

Max Verstappen says that Lewis Hamilton's car -- and not Hamilton -- was the star of the 2018 F1 season

Red Bull driver basically thinks anyone could have won this thing

Lawson is going to put New Zealand on the map.

 

[Icymanipulator]

They should let Mercedes use the W11 for the rest of the season.

Now that's an interesting grid lineup for tomorrow. I don't care who it is, someone just stop it being a Red Bull clean sweep.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Nice drive from Lawson. RBR will probably have tough time tomorrow, but I fully expect them to come back strong in Suzuka.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Hamilton starts an 11 race win streak tomorrow.

What a race, tension was high at the end, great strategy from Sainz to give DRS to Lando to protect them both.

The late VSC saved the race after the early SC ruined it.

Heartbreaking to see Russell bin it on the Last Lap… personally I would have liked to see team orders there and let Lewis pass, he had better pace didn't he?

Nice to see that Max's record was stopped. Was really worried there for a moment that he'd win every race this season and then have a record that lasts until the end of time. It's nice he broke Sebs record, but damn, it was starting to get old.

Sianz is apparently a new man since summer break, what happened to him, he's on fire lately. Nice to see them fighting back, even if a bit late into the season.

Sainz probably got a new girlfriend. And as James Hunt once said : "Sex is the breakfast of champions."

He actually did get a new girlfriend a few months ago. Great race from him and he even teamed up with Lando to hold off the Mercs.

Sucks for Russell, but it was his own mistake. Happy Liam got points, surely he's a candidate now for a full time 2024 seat.

Really unlucky for Albon, Perez should've be given a bigger penalty than worthless 5 seconds.

Russell needs to toughen up a bit. Way too much laughing and joking going on with his competitors, and he's getting far too upset about mistakes and occurrences on track. F1 has become far too predictable, which has led to the younger drivers being totally unprepared for things to go wrong. He's not going to win a world championship without a little more steel in his spine.

Ya he does seem to get emotional at the drop of a hat doesn't he?

Ya know…. I'm starting to agree he may just not have enough grit to be the truly S-tier. (Joking around with other drivers is fine.)

The radio messages always seem to show him in a light where he really can't handle things going wrong for him well.

Poor Checo, I think he is in the same hedspace where Riccairdo was, not as confident and making more and more mistakes. But the dude has cash to pump into RB with sponsors, they wont get rid of him that easily. Love or hate max, the kid has to do most of the legwork himself. Bottas was the perfect second driver for Hamilton, always defending and keeping other drivers away from Hamilton and usually ending up a 1-2 on the podium. Checo has arguably the best car and is running behind midfielders.

Not sure Checo's sponsorship power is that much greater than Danny's to stop the Australian nicking the seat.

Frankly, Checo's had his chance and fucked it. Time for a change.

I think that only Lando has got the mental fortitude to sit in that second Red Bull seat.

Nightmare track for Ferrari.

The McLaren will go very well here. 2nd force for sure.

Red Bull should be able to walk this..

Can Max win the title in the sprint race? Can't imagine that's what the FIA had planned for their feature races in the wonderful and progressive Qatar and the WWE F1 Las Vegas showcase.

He only needs 3 points so chances are pretty high.

I like this track, hoping for a good race this Sunday.

F1 itself may still likely deny a new team. The existing teams don't really want a new one just coming in and cutting the financial pie into 11 pieces. The sport rising in popularity has also made all the existing teams explode in value. Makes more sense for them to encourage dropping over a billion to buy an existing team instead.

Came home today and my gf left this in the fridge

Said she got excited because she recognized Max lmfao

Wholesome lol.

Still not a fan of sprints but it does add an edge to earlier qualifying. Max already pissed off with Georgenado

Stroll inbred shyte performance once again.

Shame for Hulk Logan

 

[cormack12]

Lance looks crushed there

 

[Peter303]

I reckon Stroll got an ultimatum from his dad before todays quali. I think he knows he's out.

Gutted for Lando.

What a fucking shitshow. They're repainting the lines and changing the track limits already after qualifying, because FIA didn't go their fucking jobs when they homologated the circuit and Pirelli made short-lasting tyres. Wouldn't be surprised if there's a 2005-like boycott. A 10-minute session isn't a solution, especially when the teams have already started using the tyres which were allocated for the entire weekend.

I think the Sheikhs wanted a sprint race, and FIA gave it to them.

Piastri did a good job, Lando where you at bro?

Mercedes just makes me sad every race pretty much for 2 years now…. New regulations can't come soon enough. It's their only shot at turning things around. I feel next year will be the same as this year more or less.

Give max vacation and put Goatiffi in that car.
