I'm pretty sure that's Albons physio and I think he's actually Irish

It is indeed, Patrick J Harding. A body and beard mechanic so :)

Ok here we go. Let’s keep it inside the white lines lads.

Fantastic to see Albon up there again, he is in a right purple patch.

Just started watching qualifying. I’ve the qualy recorded so I’ll watch P1 &2 after.

KillerShamrock · 30-06-2023 5:08pm

nice to see the classy dutch/max fans not bringing flares...

Itssoeasy · 30-06-2023 5:09pm

Max wins. That’s a new…

BikeRacer · 30-06-2023 5:09pm

Nice to have a McLaren back at the business end again

Andrew76 · 30-06-2023 5:10pm

Lovely result for Max. Great lap from Charles and rubbish again from Perez.

dulpit · 30-06-2023 5:37pm

I've heard people say that Perez is a confidence driver. The way things are going will he ever get his groove back?

What's interesting is they if it was Max who was starting p15 on Sunday then we'd all think he'll easily get up to the top. With Perez, not the same.

Also - boo for sprint weekend, not a fan. Tomorrow is just weird.

It’s a shame as he seemed to have decent pace in the car today and not a million miles off Max (other than the very first lap in Q1). From what I remember anyway.

He’s never going to challenge Max over a season but he really should be making more of the car advantage while it lasts.

Possible rain tomorrow for the sprint is being mentioned.

Frank Bullitt · 30-06-2023 6:03pm

These short laps are intense, also means the margins are super close over the field.

Still though...Max for the win all over.

mickdw · 30-06-2023 6:10pm

Unusual to hear Horner comment so negatively on perez going outside track limits.

AMKC · 30-06-2023 6:51pm

For anyone without Sky Sports this is on on Sky Showcase at 7pm.

Verstappen called to the stewards about possibly impeding KMag...

Have to say, the track limits is getting rather tedious. Why not add a small strip of gravel trap, at least that way its an instant punishment.

Charlie-Bravo · 30-06-2023 10:46pm

Really need to change the kerb profile to punish drivers instead of this constant farce of deleting lap times. It's a shame as this shorter lap brings the cars closer.

It is a tough one, it is not like they are missing chicanes.

It is extremely difficult for them to judge precisely where they are with their viewpoint, yeah they could play it safe but that kinda goes against the whole let's go as fast as we can nature of the sport. The banker lap is not F1.

Going too wide and bouncing over those kerbs would be punishment enough.

PsychoPete · 01-07-2023 7:30am

Hulkenberg in a Haas has more Q3 appearances than Checo in a RedBull!

Trampas · 01-07-2023 7:51am

Just saw to the drivers they get rid of track limits so when someone pushes you wide don’t complain as no more track limits. Typical drivers only complain when it effects them.
