    Yeah saw that one, couldn’t happen to a nicer outfit (bar Gasly, he’s alright).

    I know alpine will on the team radio be positive but that wasn’t a good first qualifying session.

    Wow

    Get in Max come on now! New tyres vs Norris on old but still. 🙂

    Somebody got out on the wrong side of the bed 😉

    Don’t like Ocon at all either. Truly unlikeable that chap.

    Anyway, Piastri struggling a bit compared to his teammate unfortunately.

    Max looks up at the TV screen every time coming down pitlane.

    So much for that new directive to prevent slowdown or stopping in the pit lane…

    Savage from LeClerc



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,236 ✭✭✭Longing


    Mercedes in trouble



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,974 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Yeah track evolution saved them there.

    Some lap from Hulk.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,347 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    Hulkenberg often does well in quali, ill be surprised if he comes away with points tomorrow.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,489 ✭✭✭✭dulpit


    Similar to last season so with Stroll being well beaten by Alonso.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,347 ✭✭✭✭MadYaker


    Most drivers on the grid would be well beaten by Alonso in the same car.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,127 ✭✭✭This is it


    Alonso late out, won't get another lap on new tyres will he?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,621 ✭✭✭✭Vicxas


    Some great single lap runs, really interested to see the race pace on the front runners



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,127 ✭✭✭This is it


    Max sure to get pole with the tow

    Celebratory Coco Pops all round in the Red Bull garage

    Max on pole, its good to have F1 back



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,236 ✭✭✭Longing


    So close from 2nd to 9th. Well done Max



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,143 ✭✭✭✭Itssoeasy


    Max on pole position. Very close but same outcome as the last couple of years.



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,974 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Yes!! Get in you beauty Max!!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,209 ✭✭✭✭klose


    Nearly 1/4 of a second between Max on pole and Leclerx in P2, foreboding.


    However 1/4 odd of a second between Leclerc in P2 and Hamilton in P9.


    Didn't see all the laps but noticed Max got 2 good tows there at the start of both laps.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,127 ✭✭✭This is it


    Not too bad as a Ferrari fan. Max got a bit of a tow there so LeClerc probably a little closer than the finishing time. Unfortunately the RB will likely be far better in race trim than the Ferrari tomorrow. Would be happy enough with a Ferrari 2-3.

    Russell did a decent job, Hamilton a bit off the pace. Fair play to Hulk as well



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 10,974 Mod ✭✭✭✭Andrew76


    Yeah decent lap from Russell. Sergio only 3 tenths off Max’s pace wasn’t too bad, starts 5th I think so he should get a podium.

    Disappointing from both McLarens.

    Very close qualifying session, looks like there's basically nothing between the top 3 teams over one lap with the only difference being how much the drivers extracted out of the car on the lap. McLaren just a tiny amount behind the other top teams and Alonso being Alonso getting in the mix. The entire top 9 are close enough on pace that any of them could be on the podium depending on how tyre wear and strategy goes tomorrow, it should be a great race.
