Also love that black band on the Ferrari race suits.

Bottas and KMag

🥰🥰

It sets it up very nicely for the race tomorrow and the season just might have a bit more equality which would be seriously intresting.

BikeRacer · 19-03-2022 05:06PM

Ferrari are back. Excellent.

Itssoeasy · 19-03-2022 05:06PM

Bottas ahead of Russell. Interesting. Haas might need to look at the hydraulic issue over night because Magnusson stopped at turn 1.

great to see Ferrari back on pole and Haas will be happy in general as Mick Schumacher is 12th and Kmag is 7th.

A Haas with a hydraulic issue out Q’s a Mercedes’! This season is gonna be spicy

namloc1980 · 19-03-2022 05:09PM

Leclerc and Verstappen could be fireworks. They both don't like to give an inch.

Andrew76 · 19-03-2022 05:09PM

Russell made a bags of his final lap. Looks like he was sent out first all the time giving Lewis the tow. Looking forward to the race tomorrow now and to see how the Ferrari and Red Bull compare with full tanks.

Another I hated on release, but looks great in reality. Thank **** they’ve got rid of the red outfits for the rest of the team, Binotto in particular always looked like he was wearing a clown suit.

RunningFlyer · 19-03-2022 05:11PM

That was great, can’t wait for the race tomorrow.

Not a fan at all of the new graphics, and half the time the sector colours were all wrong (eg. All three drivers showing purple for same sector at a time etc)

Russell showing purple for sector one on his final run where he missed the first corner, has he found a new racing line?

The colours have been all over the place.

McFly85 · 19-03-2022 05:18PM

Brilliant quali simply for the setup tomorrow. Have no idea about which cars will have the better race pace(I suspect RB) but nonetheless it’s a big enough shift from previous seasons to be a really interesting start to the season. Can’t wait!

ShamoBuc · 19-03-2022 05:21PM

I was looking forward to the race but I cannot wait now. So many more drivers at the business end will surely make it seriously interesting,

Even the compound of tires were wrong on the graphics showing mediums when you could clearly see there were on soft's. A few niggle bugs in the new system.

Burkie1203 · 19-03-2022 05:41PM

Russell interview was fairly revealing. Merc seem to have several big issues

PsychoPete · 19-03-2022 05:51PM

F2 sprint race started off pretty exciting

degraded into nothing though. Complete procession now

Joeface · 19-03-2022 06:18PM

I thought Russell s comments of trying something different and not working out doesn't really align with "Damage limitation" that Mercedes were talking about. One driver you don't want starting infornt of you is KMag , if you thing your faster than him it doesn't matter he is one of the best defensive drivers and the Haas this time around ain't half bad.

In fairness, the suit has little to do with that!!

Jordan 199 · 19-03-2022 07:44PM

Bottas and Magnussen should pick up plenty of points tomorrow. And if some of the drivers ahead have trouble, I wouldn't rule them out of possible podium finishes.

Magnussen had reliability problems during quali, and both teams have struggled more than most with issues throughout testing. Would love to see either of them on the podium all the same!

klose · 19-03-2022 08:22PM

It will be interesting to see what red bull and ferrari tell checo and sainz what to do off the start as theyll be slipstreaming their team mates off the start and into T1, i dont think redbull will have any issue telling perez not to attack but I don't think Sainz would entertain such a request, one to keep an eye on
