Embarassing and dangerous.

Oops. Shame for him when trying to lay down rubber.

Knowing his luck wouldn't be surprised if he got pole today.

Been a long time since Hamilton has been over 2/1 to win a GP.

He's 11/5 at the moment. Max the favourite at evens.

Lewis 21/10 for pole, Max odds on favourite at 3/4.

I'd love something to happen like the backmarkers/mid-tier teams all go out early and start their fastest laps, then go tobann, just as the Mercs Red Bulls etc come out for their outlap it pisses out of the heavens.

Mercs and Red Bulls are out in Q1.

Will never happen but still; would be great craic

Just peeking at the weather radar and Forecast - nothing at the moment but the forecast shows a build up of potential precipitation locally towards the end of the Qualy session. Things could get interesting, particularly if there's any red flags delaying things.

The W Series race after Qualy could end up being a wet race.

I wonder would Bottas have done that had there been people out in the pit in front, could have been nasty that.

As it is that is a penalty for the whole team really with how important it has been to have two cars in the mix at the front.

MadYaker · 26-06-2021 1:23pm

Verstappen and Hamilton neck and neck in FP3, should be a tight race. I hope there's a bit of rain!

Itssoeasy · 26-06-2021 1:56pm

Right here we go.

skipper_G · 26-06-2021 2:12pm

56 degree track temperature is crazy, no sign of any inclement weather

Itssoeasy · 26-06-2021 2:13pm

Great lap from Lando norris.

They are saying it will roll in towards the end. I think tomorrow has thunder storms

Itssoeasy · 26-06-2021 2:17pm

The end of Q1 could be very interesting because we might get an unexpected driver into Q2.

Itssoeasy · 26-06-2021 2:20pm

Ah Latifi was unlucky after a great lap.

skipper_G · 26-06-2021 2:21pm

Ocon out and Ricciardo squeaking through into Q2 by the slimmest of margins. That got a bit crazy at the end

Zookey123 · 26-06-2021 2:24pm

I'd say Latifi will be the happiest driver on the grid when Russell finally gets that Mercedes seat.

Riccardo also set a purple first sector, thought he'd be further up, Russell did well to jump up the times with his last lap, thought he might have trouble with traffic near the end of the lap but obviously not

Itssoeasy · 26-06-2021 2:37pm

The gap between many of the drivers is so little all of the top drivers can’t make a mistake.

SureYWouldntYa · 26-06-2021 2:42pm

Ricciardo should be very disappointed with 13th

He should be at the stage where he's getting used to the car, it's not like this is a new track for him to be getting used to either like some of the ones earlier in the year

skipper_G · 26-06-2021 2:43pm

Russell was very close to Q3, Vettel Sainz and Ricciardo out. Not a good day for Danny Ric, miles behind Norris who is flying around here

Faugheen · 26-06-2021 2:43pm

Russell 0.008 away from Q3. That's agonisingly close.

Yes, what a pity. Hopefully he gets a Mercedes seat next year.

jammiedodgers · 26-06-2021 2:43pm

What a lap from Russell.

Itssoeasy · 26-06-2021 2:45pm

This is set up for a very interesting Q3.

Itssoeasy · 26-06-2021 2:51pm

Did Lewis go outside of the track at the corner ?

Edit: no he didn’t but it was very close in real time.

ctrl-alt-delete · 26-06-2021 2:53pm

Cracking lap by Max.

Itssoeasy · 26-06-2021 2:54pm

Max goes P1 and into the 1:03s.

ctrl-alt-delete · 26-06-2021 3:00pm

Hamilton blows it in sector one.

Itssoeasy · 26-06-2021 3:02pm

Max gets pole. Good stuff and Lewis will get P2 by virtue of bottas having a penalty.

ctrl-alt-delete · 26-06-2021 3:02pm

Even on that final sector of the final lap Lewis struggled with the car, is it a half mental thing at this stage?

Max nails it but Perez can't join him up there. Lando doing well to get 4th, but will start 3rd.
