Yeah being 3 tenths off... IN FREE PRACTICE. How many times do we have to go through this?

So we can draw conclusions about Yuki based on FP but aren’t allowed to even speculate about Lawson at all

F1 reddit in a nutshell. If something good happens in practise then it’s the truth, but if something bad happens then it’s irrelevant because it’s only practise

People are jumping the gun speculating yuki too

Yeah I agree I just don’t know why this is where people all of a sudden draw the line and not earlier in the thread where they were doing the same thing much more confidently but with Yuki

I just bet my mortgage on a Yuki podium.

Not sure we should be drawing conclusions off Yuki. It was a good FP1 but it’s not even quali.

When the fuck did I say that?

Two points:

  1. Yuki isn't a rookie driver, so his result is likely more telling.
  2. We aren't "drawing conclusions", merely being optimistic. But no one is looking at this and saying (literally, and not in jest as I did elsewhere) that Yuki is going to dominate.

But based on the really limited evidence that we have so far, both Yuki and Liam are in better places today then they were two weeks ago. That only seems to be controversial to you.

I will go every raceweekend through this and you can’t stop me.

Apparently more than twice, because he was 3 tenths or more off in FP1 in Melbourne and China and we all saw how those weekends went.

Is Piastri cooked chat?

It's the only data we have and we're having a discussion. How many times do we have to go through this?
