    Bonkers lap by Sainz. Verstappen’s lap deleted for track limits.

    Spicy qualifying so far.

    Impressive lap by Sainz. Even Verstappen showed up when the pressure was on. Considering the pace shown throughout the weekend, it seems Lando has underperformed.

    Sainz pole! Wonder if he’ll be able to hold onto the lead and win tomorrow.

    Gasly with a pretty good P8. Please don’t screw up the strategy tomorrow, Alpine…

      My guess is he’ll be #1 after first corner, because VER will only focus on cutting off NOR. VER is not out to win races anymore, he just needs to be in front of NOR to win the WDC.

    Piastri out in 16th, wow. Bottas makes it into Q2.

    Kmag’s been having some strong quali laps recently.

    Perez just really can’t handle the pressure can he?

    Hopefully he’ll at least make it past corner 1 this race.

        I was thinking about that while I was posting it lol

        He’ll probably end up grabbing a point or two, but I feel for the Perez fans that came to this race.

    Ferrari probably already rubbing their hands given that both of their rival teams have lost one driver in Q1

    Perez says he has the same problem as in Singapore and Austin… couldn’t use the brakes aggressively

    Wurz quite disappointed on commentary right now that Tsunoda is driving on the moped without helmet lol

    Interesting… British media is saying that the drivers guidelines (on things like how to act in situations like Max/Lando last weekend) will get altered and if the GDPA approves those changes might go into force before Qatar.

    But Wurz just said on Austrian TV that from GDPA perspective those changes will be for next season and even if GDPA approves, FIA approvement won’t happen for the remaining races of this season.
