Max by 0.001 so far

Piastri provisional but here comes Max

Wow. Close indeed.

 

[Fezzik]

Piastri provisional but here comes Max

Boom. Pole.

 

[GlamFM]

Crazy quali. George low key the most impressive driver of the season so far imo.

What an unbelievable set of laps that was from Russel, Piastri and Verstappen. Absolutely class from all 3.

 

[-Fred-]

I was going to say it can't come any closer than that, but Jerez 1997 exists.

 

[05XR8]

Well, gotta convert that on race day.

 

[Mae Borowski]

I think we have our top three for the title right here

 

[Fezzik]

Looking forward to a Max/Oscar fight. We haven’t had that many. Don’t think Oscar will just follow for 50 laps tomorrow.

He's an aggressive starter Oscar, think he'll lead after lap 1. But it's going to be an excellent race, Russel is so strong here as well.

That was a great qualifying. Piastri had a gift from Lando, but was beat to pole by a millimeter.

I'm impressed with Mercedes so far. And Ferrari is still Ferrari.

 

[GlamFM]

Lando will very much stay in the mix though.

I firmly believe he has a raw pace advantage over Oscar.
Just his nerves consistently letting him down. He screws up too much and it’s not getting better.

I agree that he‘s faster on paper but he doesn‘t have a champion‘s mentality, unfortunately.

I agree that he‘s faster on paper but he doesn‘t have a champion‘s mentality, unfortunately.

This is the main reason I want to see him win actually! He's a very different breed from the type pf person we usually see dominating this sport, it feels like the main person he's fighting is his own head, which I relate to!

Having said that, I really like Piastri too (go Australia!!) and if Max wins this championship it will be one for the ages. Generally just a very exciting season!

Starting to low-key not be surprised if he won the Championship like Hawthorn & Rosberg, or some other rare, obscure stat.

Wasn't too pleased at yesterday's qualifying when Lando crashed out and Max got pole, but no worries. I have faith in Piastri, though I am worried at how George has always been there this season. Go team!

Mercedes have a great driver pairing with George and Kimi atm. It‘ll be interesting to see if the team can keep their performance up as the season goes on.

SC. Ver should give the position back.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Nice start by Piastri. Max give place back?

Aw, man... Gasly and Yuki noooooooooooo. SC.

 

[Grayfox]

Can Max give the place back during a SC period?

 

[McLaren]

Damn, I wonder what they saw on Yuki's car b/c it looked like he escaped unharmed.

Edit* Looks like the love tap was a little too much love on the rear wing, I guess.

 

[Fezzik]

Clearly Oscar’s corner

 

[GlamFM]

I think Yuki is out. Max gets away with stuff like this a lot.

 

[Mae Borowski]

Bad luck for Gasly and Tsunoda on a day they could've had a nice points haul each :/

Also Max pretty clearly gained an advantage. Should give that place back

Edit: Huh. 5 second penalty is a bit harsh

 

[GlamFM]

5 sec for Ver.

 

[McLaren]

Incoming Max radio about what a "joke" this is?

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Wow, 5 seconds for Max? I woulda thought just give the place back. 😮

 

[Fezzik]

Penalty for Max
