Final Race before the summer Break :
Plenty to happen , Friday is hot and dry . Saturday is a stormy mixed bag
Session Times
And Sebastian Vettel stealing all the head lines .
Hope Seb has a good sign off over the next 10 races
Max saying he has no power. Not great so far for red bull.
Fair fcuks to George Russell
rubbing it into Lewis with the time he is clear.
Holy crap Russell!!
Unbelievable
Spicy lap from Carlos
RUSSELL!
Well George Russell puts in a stonking lap.
Sky going to be insufferable now
Great lap from Russell. What a mixed up grid for tomorrow. Damage limitation time for Max.
Oh stop being so f*cking miserable.
Jesus Christ we cry for some unpredictability every weekend, and when we finally get some there's another way someone can find to bitch and moan about it.
Third row start for the Alpine drivers. I'm happy with that.
That’s a brilliant grid for tomorrow! Shocker from RB but wouldn’t bet against Max getting a podium as long as his car issues are sorted.
Great lap from Russell but can’t see him winning it, Ferrari should have it sewn up as long as they don’t get in their own way.
On another note it was disappointing from Haas considering the upgrades they brought.
Great quali for Russell, but I don’t see him leading for long, RB’s goal for VER has to be a podium now, and very achievable with the pace they have, never been the quickest this weekend but they’re still quicker than most!
Did they say Hamilton no DRS?
On the last lap they did, said he abandoned that lap it as it wouldn't open.
Hopefully Max doesn't get caught up in any first corner carnage and he should be able to get some decent points, a podium might be a stretch on this track though. If he goes into the summer break still 50+ points ahead that will do. You'd fancy both Ferrari's getting past Russell at some stage. Hopefully Norris can have a decent race too.
How do you get pole without any purple sectors?
Sainz must've had a yellow in there somewhere.
I think Brundle said it best when he said "You don't have to set any quickest sectors, you just have to be quick in all three"
Or something along those lines.
Did not see that coming for Russel. Will be watching Sky on mute tomorrow
BBC Radio are using Harry Benjamin and Marc Priestly if you have the means to do a sync up. (Jack Nicholls is busy with Formula E and Jolyon Palmer is with F1 TV)
It's going to be fascinating and depressing to see how Ferrari will screw up tomorrow.
This is an interesting grid, could be a cracker.
Well well done to George Russell. A pity its with Mercedes do. I really hope he does not win tomorrow. He probably will do.
What was up with Red Bull and Max Verstappen?
Overall do a very boring qualifying session except for the last minute at most.
Great to see some one other than Ferrari or red bull get pole, and a third maiden pole this year at that.
Fack me max is a whingy little baby on the radio, wonder how many of his team wanna just slap him. Oh wait we only talk about people complaining on the radio when it's a merc, the little angel max can do no wrong.
Norris and alpine are in good spots Lewis will have some work to do. Bottas and Danny Ric back in the top 10 too.
I’m gutted for Max, but delighted with how it all worked out. It’s great to see such a different line up. Fair play to Russel. The Hamilton interview on Channel 4 was hilarious!!!! Russel is so clearly embarrassing him again. Great to see Alpine doing so will and Norris too.
I think Leclec’s biggest threat is his team mate. I expect Russel to finish on the podium.
THIS
Its fascinating, did everyone hear max on the radio? any comments on the crying, whinging, he was whining for info on the problem once the drivers had all passed him and he was out of qually and they had to remind him that the radio isnt the best place to talk about it. WAAAAAAAA!
But lewis says after my drs didnt open and i think i could of had pace to be on the front row, and that is criticized
Im sure its all skys fault because a british network and british pundits with mainly british subscribers support a british team with british drivers, how dare they!!!!
Hamilton could have put in a good lap if it wasn't for the DRS problem, could have been 1 and 2 for Mercedes.
Huh what F1 are you watching?, it was 6-6 for qualy before today he is hardly embarrassing him, if lewis didnt have a DRS issue it could of easily been a merc 1-2 in either order for all we know.
The same old sh1t on here sometimes, people setting fastest laps themselves to come and defend drivers when others have said something against them.
Max isn't the only one who whinges on the radio, they all do it, every single one of them. I'd do it myself if I am in the heat of a battle and a situation beyond my control means there is fcuk all I can do.
If Lewis didn't have a DRS issue he could have joined Russell on the front row, so we will just ignore the fact Max had issues then?
