Mazepin was four seconds slower than Schumacher, and outside the 107% time.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Still, he didn't qualify at all

I don't think there's anything stopping them from starting without setting a time. It doesn't seem like the 107% rule applies, which is the only time I remember teams having to ask for permission to start. The commentators probably would've mentioned something by now.

Yeah, it does look like it's fine. Just doesn't feel like it should be 🤷

I don't believe it's brought up mainly because everyone knows that RB is competitive and they'd just go to the practise times if somebody bothered to do so, "There you go Michael, we're competitive enough to start". Hell, the only time I remembered the 107% being an issue on one occasion (probably Can '11) and it was a similar reasoning then.

E: Yes, Ambrosio for Virgin Racing, didn't make it within the threshold for Quali but he'd set better times in practise due to a replacement chassis.

Russell onto slicks?

Russell onto slicks?

Looks like everyone is trying it

Hamilton into the pit wall!

 

[Famine]

 

[Touring Mars]

Ooft, Hamilton smacks into the wall on his way into the pits and misses his last chance(s) to secure pole!

edit: Hamilton does get back out, but it will be tight to see if he makes it round in time for one last lap.

Hamilton makes it round for one last lap, but has no temperature in his tyres...

 

[PaMu1337]

Now that's a fun grid

 

[Famine]

LANDO!

 

[Touring Mars]

Lando Norris on pole, Russell in P3

Lewis Hamilton has spun on his last hot lap, he'll start in 4th, and Bottas in 7th!

 

[HenrySwanson]

Can't believe that q3

 

[BrainsBush]

Yesss!!!!

 

[PeterJB]

Yet another costly error from Lewis.

 

[Shaun]

Norris you ****ing beauty.

 

[AshenGraey]

I love this.....all new faces on the podiums....no mercs, no red bull.....all is well with the world 😂

 

[BrainsBush]

Max also verry happy for his mate Lando

Ftfy with weather forecast in mind

 

[PaMu1337]

Ftfy with weather forecast in mind

Rain expected, Russell qualifying top 3, Spa 2.0?

 

[DG_Silva]

3 Brits in the top four in qualifying, not seen that for a very long time....

 

[Fat Tyre]

It's as if Mercedes and their drivers are doing everything in their hands to lose this championship.

Still it's great seeing a McLaren/Ferrari front row. I'm really happy for Lando.

 

[MatskiMonk]

 

[Touring Mars]

Apparently Sainz also spun on the slick tyres, possibly on his in-lap after qualifying had finished, so he might have been lucky to get that front row slot!

 

[andrea]

Must be that WDC pressure Hamilton was talking about.

Focus on yourself douchenozzle.

McLaren/Ferrari/Williams 1-2-3 in qualifying?

2003, apparently.
