Making this early as I doubt I'll be able to watch live this weekend. I need to take the little one to a kids birthday party 😬.

Anyway, post away your thoughts from the qualifying session in the future!

Sargeant is looking 50/50 if he makes Q3. Albon is looking pretty certain though.

Was there a big upgrade to their package or is it just a good track for them?

If Williams can find some money and keep developing the car it makes sense to stay. But if the money is not there then it makes sense to jump.

I didn't even consider him coming back just because he's no longer an RB guy at all.

But yeah, OK, I'd be down with Albon in the second RB seat.

I'm hoping for them to bump Yuki to Checos seat next season. I doubt they'll do anything mid season, and as much as I'd love to see Danny Ric back in the Red Bull seat I think that ship has sailed.

Yuki in the Red Bull 2024 though? And hell then throw Danny Ric in the AT.

A man can dream.

My heart skipped a beat there when Lando was first. Excellent result either way and such a difference from the start of the year for McLaren

JCPhoenix 5 points 3 years ago

I literally gasped out loud and yelled out "OMG!" when that happened, not realizing Lando was one of the first over the line. But then the motorsports gods (aka Max himself) made sure RB got that P1.

I loved Lando's cheeky, "Max ruins for everything for everyone," in response to the interviewer mentioning Lando almost getting P1. I don't understand how people don't like Lando; I think he's hilarious. Obviously him and Max are good friends, too.

Excellent day for McLaren!

There has to be someone lobbying hard for Danny Ric to replace Checo, especially after 5(!!!) missed Q3s. That's extremely embarrassing for someone in the fastest car.

Sure, but when other teams start to catch up, having no wingman will start to hurt strategy.

Looks like the McLaren upgrades might be the real deal, at least in these conditions. Still a way off Red Bull, but great to see some progress.

Disappointed with Alonso. Looks like other teams have caught up and overtaken their early season advantage, which is a shame. Losing out to, an admittedly racey looking, Williams won't go down well.

Hoping for some changeable conditions tomorrow.

If Perez makes Q3:

  3. PER

If he doesn't:

  2. [One of the Ferraris]
  3. ALO

Idk. Checo is still 2nd in the WDC. If Checo was somewhere around like 10th in the WDC, I could possibly see it. Alonso in 3rd isn't far behind Perez, but AM seems to be in a slump of sorts at the moment. And Perez still managed a great result last week.

Even in the Constructors, RB is in no danger. RB has over double the points than 2nd place Mercedes.

Not sure if it's worth RB rocking the boat at the moment.
