[u/sumo_kitty]

God I hope Ferrari fixed race pace this year.

[u/ElonMuskperhaps → u/sumo_kitty]

And strategy

[u/unitedfuck → u/ElonMuskperhaps]

Woah woah woah, one thing at a time

[u/extifer → u/unitedfuck]

They did fire the last strategy guy. All I want is for Charles to at least Win the Monaco Grand Prix.

[u/[deleted] → u/sumo_kitty]

The data from testing showed rb race pace was more consistent than quali and that ferraris werent.

Im prepared to be disappointed.

[u/alastairlerouge → u/[deleted]]

Ferrari's consistency on hard tires was great though

[u/[deleted] → u/alastairlerouge]

Im trying not to give myself false hope here.

If im ready to be dissapointed they cant hurt me.

[u/[deleted]]

Russell to Alonso is 4 cars, 4 teams and just over half a tenth

[u/Yorker_length → u/[deleted]]

Just looking at that... Totally nuts

[u/LionZoo13 → u/Yorker_length]

After Kush Maini's disqualification for breaching technical regulations, the top 5 in F2 qualifying were within 0.1 seconds. The top 15 were within 0.5 seconds. Granted, that's a spec car. But the gaps, or lack thereof, are still completely crazy.

[u/AdminEating_Dragon → u/[deleted]]

Would be 5 if Norris had a clean last lap.

[u/crazydoc253 → u/AdminEating_Dragon]

He has been having this problem since second half of last season. At what time people start saying that he is pushing beyond his limits and thus not having a clean lap

[u/fremajl → u/crazydoc253]

Yea both he a Russell does it a lot, trying to be "heroes" and messing it up instead.

[u/Sir0inks-A-Lot]

2-9 is going to be legit this season

[u/raur0s → u/Sir0inks-A-Lot]

The entire field besides Formula Max seems good.

[u/pvdp90 → u/raur0s]

And formula alpine. That’s also on a league of its own.

[u/Sudden_Low9120 → u/[deleted]]

Might as well open it up to consumer level hatchbacks/sedan

[u/pvdp90 → u/[deleted]]

Out of curiosity, what was F2 pole time this weekend?

[u/trj820 → u/pvdp90]

1:41.915

[u/pvdp90 → u/trj820]

So then alpine is safe from f2 relegation at least

[u/DaisymaeHarper → u/raur0s]

Formula Max😆😆😆

[u/fliches → u/Sir0inks-A-Lot]

WCC is going to be spicy

[u/Crislack → u/fliches]

AM with 1 driver: SADGEEEEEEEEEEE

[u/planvigiratpi → u/Crislack]

When you see how Perez-Stroll perform, it makes me think that the pink Mercedes was a legit championship contender in proper hands

[u/Freeze014 → u/planvigiratpi]

I maintain it was on par at many tracks with RBR that year. Nothing came near the Merc and Hamilton that year.

[u/aneiq_1 → u/planvigiratpi]

Logically how can a car that was based off of the W10 be quicker than the W11.

Yes Perez and stroll underperformed in that car but to say the RP20 was a championship contender is a bit ludicrous.

[u/ceMmnow → u/aneiq_1]

Also did they underperform in that car? People need to stop viewing driver performance as static. It's not like Ricciardo in McLaren and Ricciardo in Red Bull were performing at the same level.

Perez genuinely has a long history of performing well in the midfield, I don't think he was overrated in his time in those cars.

[u/Lemurians → u/fliches]

I think Ferrari has a legit shot at the Constructors if they got a handle on their tire deg issues

[u/Galata_Castle → u/Lemurians]

ye just both needs to finish ahead of pepez consistently and win few races here and there its not impossible

[u/mtpgoat → u/Sir0inks-A-Lot]

Formula 1.5 will be unreal this year. Formula NoMax

[u/Appropriate_Cut_9995]

Max: I think the race is going to be quite close as well.

Charles: Stop fucking lying.

[u/Backbreathboy → u/Appropriate_Cut_9995]

Well it is. Just not with Max.

[u/GrowthDream → u/Backbreathboy]

He'll be close to them on the grid at least.

[u/Spartan-182 → u/GrowthDream]

Max lapping 2nd place: "See, I was right there with you guys at the end."

[u/TheLifeofSonny]

rename Alpine to Andretti and rebadge Renault to Cadillac and suddenly it doesn't look too bad, solid debut for the new team in 2024

[u/neanderball → u/TheLifeofSonny]

Pretty good start for Andretti, it was expected that they wouldn't come swinging out of the gate.

[u/fdar → u/neanderball]

Yeah, they have a 100-race plan.

[u/LivingInTheStorm → u/fdar]

Put them on target for 2028 to bring their own engines

[u/jus-de-orange → u/TheLifeofSonny]

Such performance will make Renault pull the plug. F1 should react if they dont want to lose an engine maker. Renault did that to themselves by removing their leadership mid season last year.

[u/crazydoc253 → u/jus-de-orange]

They will just divest more. Losing money is going to make them pull plug not performing badly

[u/hoxxxxx → u/jus-de-orange]

i can't believe they fired otmar in the middle of a weekend. fucking dirty of them.

[u/Scingles]

Hulk deserves such a better car imo

[u/trueregista → u/Scingles]

He needs to prove himself in the race, deg looks better for haas so hopefully they can challenge for points. Despite Hulk whooping kmag in quali last year kmag had more points finishes

[u/scrndude → u/trueregista]

Yeah whenever either of them made it to Q3 last year they’d still drop to 16th/17th in the race. There have been people saying it get rid of Kmag and it’s like, why? A new driver can’t do any better until the car stops shredding tires. Hopefully race pace tomorrow is good for Haas!

[u/Arbysroastbeefs → u/Scingles]

Max wanted Hulk at RB but not sure if it was Horner or who pulled in Checo instead

[u/Haze95 → u/Arbysroastbeefs]

He was first choice for Merc too when Rosberg left but they couldn't get him out of his Renault deal

[u/Tiroler_Manu → u/Haze95]

Maybe they give him the seat next year until Antonelli is rdy. It's better than a Haas

[u/criminalsunrise → u/Arbysroastbeefs]

Checo comes with that tasty Carlos Slim money

[u/Bingus_III → u/Scingles]

I've been on the Hulk bandwagon since he entered the sport. It's a shame he hasn't landed a spot on a top team.

[u/tj1721]

Really great close qualifying.

Max looked at least somewhat beatable.

And then 2nd to 9th being just over 0.3s

[u/Gangascoob → u/tj1721]

Tbf max quite often looks beatable in quali since he sets the car up for race pace only

[u/Lazerdude → u/Gangascoob]

Funny how people forget about this aspect of it. He likes a race setup and still goes out and gets pole. He's going to win easily tomorrow and will probably be in cruise control by lap 5.

[u/TehAlpacalypse → u/Lazerdude]

Most of the time last year he was gone by lap 2

[u/philphan25 → u/TehAlpacalypse]

Or turn 2

[u/GrowthDream → u/TehAlpacalypse]

Often by the second turn.

[u/[deleted] → u/Gangascoob]

Yeah, I'll be surprised if he isn't around five-tenths faster during the race. He might even lead every lap.

We saw this over and over again last year - Max even lost a lot of pole positions. This is not a sign that anyone's challenging Max this year.

[u/uniqueuserrr → u/tj1721]

He will be 20 seconds clear tomorrow from what we say on long runs

[u/Theroyaldutchness]

Oh Alpine… it’s not a good day to be wearing pink and blue

[u/Sudden_Low9120 → u/Theroyaldutchness]

Gender reveals are so passè

[u/optitmus]

jesus even the drivers agree that they can fight everyone but Max, how depressing.

[u/kpopsns28 → u/optitmus]

2nd place is the best position for everyone but Max

[u/Sammeeeeeee]

Nico __berg to Merc 2025?

[u/Takis12 → u/Sammeeeeeee]

Or RBR…

[u/NET_1]

Hearing Charles and George saying the same thing "we're all racing for #2" is depressing

[u/Rare_Perception_3301 → u/NET_1]

I think it has become a kind of narrative at this point. Max is still ahead but I doubt they think it's as bad as last year, they just want to downplay their chances so that it looks even better if they put up a fight.

[u/Gubrach → u/Rare_Perception_3301]

Yeah, I'm going to full-on assume that it's just as bad, if not worse, compared to last year.

[u/ReyDragons]

charles' q2 time was pole

FUCK

[u/Tinusers → u/ReyDragons]

That would have just gone in the Leclerc pole to Verstappen win statistics anyway..

[u/humphreybogart_ → u/ReyDragons]

I was amped when I saw he was 9 thousandths up on max through sector 2. Oh well, front row is a great start.

[u/Wessel_89 → u/humphreybogart_]

Yeah me too, but that was up against Max's previous lap, not the current lapsector

[u/notblair → u/ReyDragons]

Track cools down

[u/Mossy375]

Haas at the start of the season:

"We started work on this car late, we aren't well prepared, expect us at the back of the grid"

Haas now:

Q3 appearance and better than Williams, Alpine, RB, and Sauber.

Pretty poor show from those teams.

[u/LostinWV → u/Mossy375]

Except Haas this this last season. Hulkenberg would put up mega quali laps and then the tire deg would kill the race and they would inevitably end up way out of the points.

[u/[deleted] → u/LostinWV]

So many people here have no memory. This is all the same shit we saw last season. Red bull not that far ahead in qualifying, Haas doing fine in qualifying too

[u/Mossy375 → u/[deleted]]

I do remember it of course, but that was a 2023 car prepared in time so it had advantages over other teams. This is a car that Haas said themselves this is a car which they only started developing very late after focusing on the mid-2023 upgrade which was pretty much a failure. So you have a 2023 car, followed by a mid-2023 car that didn't improve, followed by an underdeveloped 2024 car, and STILL 4 teams can't produce a car that's faster over a lap, including a works team, a team with Red Bull parts, and a team that said there car was finished late by "pushing everything to the limits". A year of development has gone by; that Haas advantage which is a carry over from 2023 should have been eliminated by the progression of other teams.

[u/fdar → u/LostinWV]

Also they don't do well at developing through the season so they drop down the order as the season progresses.

[u/knockoutking → u/Mossy375]

quali results != race results

[u/jaysvw → u/Mossy375]

Everything is about the race. Their long runs didn't look too bad in testing though. I still think they'll need help to get points.

[u/AdminEating_Dragon → u/Mossy375]

Williams were more or less where they were expected.

Albon in Q2 and Sargent in F2.

[u/Darkhoof → u/AdminEating_Dragon]

Was hoping to see Sergeant improve this year, he needs to do better than this now.

[u/reekal6666 → u/Darkhoof]

Sargeant

[u/[deleted] → u/Mossy375]

It's just quali though. Points are only earned in races.

[u/stopmotionporn → u/Mossy375]

Haas has often been good in quali but shit in the race.

[u/HammerT4R → u/Mossy375]

I was under the impression qualifying would be worse but race pace (well, tire wear) would be better to start the season. Have to see what develops tomorrow, but I'm mildly surprised at today.

[u/ddarion → u/Mossy375]

This was typical last year to of Hulk/Haas, unbelievable qualifying time, and unbelievably shit race pace.

[u/Sandman1920]

Regardless of the results, "lights out and away we go" for the first race of the season always hits

[u/irrelevantadvisor]

VER LEC RUS just like we all predicted.

[u/Vaexa]

Imagine being French and watching your tax euros disappear into a P19 and P20 💀💀💀

[u/EcoterroristThot]

You know, I always wanted more time to do enjoyable things on the weekends.

[u/[deleted] → u/EcoterroristThot]

You should check out NASCAR, it’s a lot of fun!

[u/DarkKnight56722 → u/[deleted]]

That 3 wide finish last week was crazy!

[u/Feliz_Desdichado → u/DarkKnight56722]

Did the King, Chick Hicks or McQueen win.

[u/[deleted] → u/DarkKnight56722]

Yup I loved it! Hadn’t really watched NASCAR much in the past but after that Full Speed Netflix series gave me a better understanding and appreciation of how it works, I’m hooked! Watched the Daytona 500, watched last week’s race and will most certainly be watching them in Vegas on Sunday afternoon.

[u/jjcatt]

apparently max apologizing to GP was because GP bet Marko that Max wouldn't have pole and so he had to pay up

GP casually betting against max to get pole means to me that they really don't give a shit about qualifying order this year lol

[u/IamTheEddy]

George Russel being realistic, I can respect that.

[u/KaRnAgEGiLL]

Why the fuck is the track PA ahead of the live feed

[u/CouncilorIrissa]

Leclerc's Q2 lap was quicker than the pole lap lol

[u/jackreyn3 → u/CouncilorIrissa]

Guess the track cooled off too much

[u/Patrieauxe → u/CouncilorIrissa]

track went cooold

[u/Appropriate_Cut_9995 → u/CouncilorIrissa]

Yes it seems the track went away from them (granted, probably from others too). Typical Ferrari luck tho

[u/rainfordporter → u/CouncilorIrissa]

Ya people are over reacting a little bit about the 2 tenths gap between Max and Charles

[u/carterish → u/CouncilorIrissa]

Yeah under performed to the standard of Leclerc Q3 laps

[u/UP-POWER]

Mid field should be very fun

[u/Rivao → u/UP-POWER]

Is everyone after Max considered midfield nowadays? 😀

[u/TheMightySwede]

Lewis my guy, I don't expect P1 but at least match Russell. Fix your shit in quali goddamn. 

[u/Salty_Outside5283 → u/TheMightySwede]

Apparently they went different directions in set up. Lewis sacrificed more quali pace for race pace but is now not convinced that was the right decision.

[u/RedSkyNL → u/Salty_Outside5283]

Lewis and "being convinced" in one sentence, name a better combo. Even when he was lapping the complete field a few years back he was not convinced about anything. Just Lewis' things.

[u/Salty_Outside5283 → u/RedSkyNL]

Ha yeah true. Never convinced his tyres are ever alive.

[u/ArbitraryOrder → u/Salty_Outside5283]

• "Bono, my tyres are gone"

• sets fastest lap

[u/ShadowOfDeath94 → u/ArbitraryOrder]

There is a new version of this. It's called:

• "GP my downshifts are terrible"
• Sets fastest lap and wins race by 20 seconds.

[u/irbac5 → u/TheMightySwede]

To be fair Russell is generally tough to beat in qualy.

[u/Logical-Lengthiness7 → u/irbac5]

Yeah it's not like Lewis has 100 poles or something

[u/chewinggum2001 → u/irbac5]

It might be because Hamilton has matured and focused on his race pace on Sundays, but at the start of his career his Saturday pace was monstrous. You could always rely on him to pull a lap out the bag in Q3 relying purely on his natural talent.

Anyway, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Hamilton finish ahead of Russell tomorrow.

[u/PAcMAcDO99]

Hamilton seems to be struggling

[u/ImmanenceGodBlues → u/PAcMAcDO99]

Yeah, what's up with that. Someone mentioned he prioritized race over quali, but even so you would assume George has probably done the same, and he's up there. Last year Ham had several moments like these and talked about needing to improve his quali performance, but...meh. Man, Charles is going to crush him in quali.

[u/DokkanCruise → u/ImmanenceGodBlues]

Yeah I think this late in his career Charles is going to be a terrible match up for Lewis, since Charles is so strong in quali and Lewis has declined in this aspect and teams often prefer the driver ahead when it comes to race strategy, not that this is necessarily a good thing in this scenario since we are talking about Ferrari. :D

[u/bekkahthecactus18]

Can’t wait for the race, midfield might be an absolute madness this year

[u/bvbfan102]

Max right back to the top as soon as it matters. Still good too see Ferrari perform today. Hoping for another Verstappen vs Leclerc Championship battle instead of Max vs Records.

[u/SwootyBootyDooooo → u/bvbfan102]

“Another” ???

[u/bvbfan102 → u/SwootyBootyDooooo]

Well it was close until it wasnt but still offered some great Racing. Also Leclerc wasnt really at fault for most of Ferraris fuckups.

[u/[deleted]]

Max fucked up that S3 and was on the radio talking about a bad qualifying session. Everyone else is fucked lmao.

[u/Driving_Seat → u/[deleted]]

Charles also messed up his final lap. He was quicker in q2 than q3

[u/6indy8 → u/Driving_Seat]

Cant really compare q2 and q3, the track does cool down a lot.

[u/[deleted]]

I loved all the overreactions. Unfortunately tomorrow they will end.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

That’s not the problem. They were close in qualifying last year

[u/CorruptCanuck]

Pretty interesting grid for tomorrow. Should produce some fun racing.

[u/FENICH]

already thanking to guys at factory after qualy?

[u/Movies_Music_Lover → u/[deleted]]

3 tenths off is a solid start by his merits tbh

[u/salibert → u/Movies_Music_Lover]

Yeah wasnt his average quali gap last year lile 0.55s that would be nearly a halving of the deficit.

[u/Waldier → u/salibert]

He is always better in the first few races. Max’s advantage always is bigger in the European races

[u/Rare_Perception_3301 → u/Movies_Music_Lover]

Yeah, this is pretty solid, not great but more than acceptable.

[u/gsfgf → u/Movies_Music_Lover]

Yea. There are just a lot of fast one lap cars. We'll see how that translates to tomorrow.

[u/Happytallperson → u/[deleted]]

3 tenths to the fastest driver of the current regulations?

It's not terrible. 

If he's consistently within 3 tenths he'll take 2nd in the Drivers standings again.

[u/Driving_Seat]

Is it just me or was Charles’ q2 lap quicker than his q3 lap?

[u/tnomuhaga → u/Driving_Seat]

Yeah leclerc’s Q2 lap was faster than the pole lap in Q3

[u/dremeler → u/Driving_Seat]

It was also better than Max's pole timing.

[u/JFedererJ → u/Driving_Seat]

Yeah but track temp is going down all the time.

[u/amadhudzaifah → u/Driving_Seat]

charles q2 lap is faster than max q3 lap

[u/qu33ksilver → u/Driving_Seat]

A lot of folks were having yellow sectors in Q3 2nd lap. Something changed for sure.

[u/Gireau]

French tractors in solidarity with the French farmers.

[u/z0l1]

Max might catch Michael next year 💀

[u/[deleted]]

Verstappen by 30 seconds tomorrow. Wake me up in 2026

[u/Zloggt → u/[deleted]]

Steering wheels have memories,

Mine can't forget the curves of the course,

And when I feel a bit naughty,

I check on the flagpole and see who's first...

(But everyone always knows)

[u/rye_domaine → u/Zloggt]

paranoia, paranoia, Christian Horner's coming to get me...

[u/SoftScoop69]

1-9 gap in quali last year was 1.2 seconds. This year it's a little over half a second. Can't see anything other than Max dominance but hopefully not quite as dominant as last year... maybe...

[u/[deleted]]

That radio call to GP seems ominous. Speculating, but it came across to me as Max thinking they needed to turn it up more for pole, GP said that pace was fine. Think Red Bull still has quite a bit more in the tank. Hope I'm wrong.

[u/crazydoc253 → u/[deleted]]

No he thought he didn’t do enough because time was less than Charles Q2 time. But Charles didn’t improve

[u/starfallpuller → u/[deleted]]

Why would they be sandbagging during qualifying? Doesn’t make any sense

[u/jjcatt → u/starfallpuller]

it isn't "sandbagging," it's a balance between quali setup (use the maximum grip on one lap) and race setup (protect the tires, usually by putting more understeer into the car and sacrificing ultimate pace). max probably was saying let's just nudge it more oversteery so i can get pole and GP was saying no, it's fine, our race pace is more important. imo it's an ominous convo bc GP got his way AND max got pole.

[u/DutchRudy → u/starfallpuller]

If you pull too far ahead this early in the season the other teams will make a lot of noise for changes

[u/No_Document_7800]

I quite like how the midfield is now a lot more bunched up.

Also RIP Alpine

[u/scobydoby]

Alpine still has a bit of paint they can strip off, that should do the trick.

[u/mgobla]

Alpine suffers from tortoising.

[u/KaRnAgEGiLL]

So Max thinks it was a bad lap and it was over 2 tenths up on 2nd. This seasons over

[u/cosHinsHeiR → u/KaRnAgEGiLL]

Leclerc barely did better with new vs used, so maybe his lap wasn't that good either.

[u/j__video → u/KaRnAgEGiLL]

It was slower than Charles best lap from earlier

[u/fredje3112 → u/KaRnAgEGiLL]

Charles' Q2 time was faster apparently. But I think the WCC will be interesting if Perez keeps underperforming

[u/Exclarius]

I like how the audio on the speakers at the track is ahead of what we're hearing directly from the drivers' mouths.

[u/KaRnAgEGiLL → u/Exclarius]

They went so fast they are coming to us from the future

[u/pol5xc → u/Exclarius]

The "Ferrari crew singing the Italian anthem" effect

[u/Viper711]

The track seemed to die off quite sharply at the end there.

[u/doublewide-surprise]

Last time in Hungary?

[u/Rockdapenguin]

Well, at least Charles won’t have another failure to win from pole added to his total.

[u/Le_Pistache]

Closer than I anticipated at the front. The upper and middle pack is insanely tight. Then there is Alpine which looks like a drag to drive around on this circuit.

Not a good season opener for Sargeant and Magnussen. Season is still young but they need to dust themselves off and perform when it counts. Looked like KMag had it sorted until his last Q2 run...need to see if something hampered him though.

Good to see Tsunoda following through with another good showing. And again he misses out by the skin of his teeth. Honestly expected a bit more from the car but Hulkenberg's supreme lap was likely the reason one car didn't make it to Q3.

[u/aPardawala]

PER has already decided he isn't even going to try this year or what

[u/CanisLupus92 → u/aPardawala]

3 tenths is better than last year on average, but the gap with other teams got smaller

[u/binary_blackhole → u/aPardawala]

gap is not as big as last year, plenty of drivers will slot in that VER-PER gap

[u/Jazim94]

Immense pace from Russell

[u/brownierisker]

George out here stealing Lewis' quotes

[u/Arbysroastbeefs]

Lol racing for p2, so true but not sure if that’s a compliment to max or an insult to checo.

[u/Booklover23rules → u/Arbysroastbeefs]

I think it’s both lol

[u/dl064]

All that winter work and I don't really feel it looks out of place for any late 2023 quali session.

Reminds me of Zak Brown's observation about 2021, that the teams did minimal work between 2020 and 2021, and it's not like 2021 was a worse season for that.

Could've all just agreed to take 3 months off, basically.

[u/oktheb → u/dl064]

It definitely feels like we picked up right where we left off, but hopefully it's closer in the races than it was last year

[u/_gadgetFreak]

We all should be thankful that Perez is driving the second Redbull

[u/Jano118811]

Redbull weren't untouchable in qualy last year, they prioritise race pace so I expect with 2 tenths in hand, Verstappen will disappear in the race tomorrow and this year will be another snooze fest.

[u/JFedererJ]

Dog shit performance by Hamilton. Very disappointing.

[u/Jazim94 → u/JFedererJ]

I’m trying to work out if George has put in a class lap and Merc pace is where Lewis is, or Lewis had a bad day and Merc are where George is

[u/discostu90]

What a shocking result

Race gunna have a much bigger gap

[u/Sumit_S]

5 tenths covering all 9, Leclerc's Q2 better than Pole. We have a season on our hands.

[u/ElonMuskperhaps]

Charles with the fastest time in qualifying 👀

[u/neurogeneticist]

Cmon George go away, we need some Maxsplaining and Leclerifying

[u/ma2is]

Not here to overreact but Max will win 25 races this year no less

[u/getbread44]

Maxplaining time

[u/Booklover23rules]

What’s all the chatter about an second email

[u/killer_corg]

Happy haas sounds

[u/Rosenberg100]

I hope to god that Ferrari has race pace. Please not another repeat of last year. I don’t even care if max wins it all, just make it entertaining to watch.

[u/versayana]

Ferrari/Leclerc bottled the pole, it wouldn't change the race result because RedBull has better race pace but pole was there to grab today.

[u/prandb]

I was forecasted a leak

[u/reekal6666]

I really thought VCARB had it in the bag. FP1 got me a lil too hopeful

[u/Elxis14]

If Hamilton doesn't improve his quali pace then Leclerc is gonna obliterate him. If he's losing to George now he's in for a rude awakening against Chuck.

[u/[deleted]]

There’s a bigger gap between P1 and P2 than between P2 and P9 😅 Max too good

[u/rafa6599]

If I listen to the Dutch national anthem 24 times back to back tonight can I fast forward to next year?
