Hulkenberg outqualifies Verstappen wew. Bottas outqualifies Perez.

McLaren did good getting the front row lockout. Going to be an extremely difficult job for Ferrari tomorrow.

Getting a bollard stuck under your car on your fast lap is actually ridiculous!

[–] calamitycastle@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm not sure he was on a lap before that tbh but yeah, crazy bad luck

[–] jimbolauski@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

He was a tenth or two up from the cutoff after sector 2 so I think he may have squeaked into q2.

"Ok Christian, the check cleared, you can have your lap back" ~ MBS probably

So they placed a bunch of cameras around the track and still can't properly tell when someone is off. Come on, just use gravel.

The fuck did max do on that 2nd lap? The lap in which he almost ended up in the barrier was faster.

Ridiculous quali by the Hulk, Gasly and Bottas

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Even with that slide Verstappen is currently at P1. That was a monster lap.

So unfortunate… but he know how to make a good comeback from the back of the field.

Congrats Mclaren

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Oof not the quali that Hamilton would've wanted for his final outing with Mercedes.

Good lap by Bottas. After Zhou's points last week I'm rooting for the second Sauber to score points.

[–] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Leclerc out in Q2 :( That 10 place grid penalty won't help either.

Bottas Q3!

What in the Haas

Suck my bollard mate.

[–] FrostyTrichs@walledgarden.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well that was a wild one. Good effort up and down the paddock!

[–] Inventa@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why didn't Russell get a penalty for impeding?

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

No idea. It looked really weird on his onboard. Half like he knew Lawson was coming, because he positioned himself on a really weird part of the track, and half like he didn't know Lawson was coming because he suddenly jolted his steering when Lawson got close. I guess technically he was off the racing line? And from Lawson point of view it's hard to estimate if he was actually impeded or not because he had to break anyway. Probably came down to whoever had to make the decision as there's enough gray area to go either way.

That said, had the roles been reversed Russell would've complained all the way to the stewards to penalize Lawson. I'm not against Russell not getting a penalty but i would've found out far more satisfying if he did get a penalty.

Good job, McLaren.

About Hamilton. He was in the bottom 5 before the bollard. So did it really hurt him?
