Merc 1-2 in FP2

They did their fast loss when there was more rubber down. Don’t read much into it.

Bit damp out there. Going to be very interesting

Red flag due to Zhou having engine issues but he's managed to restart his car.

That wall thats been added at turn 1 is so fucking stupid

Funky_Gibbons · « **Reply #884 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:07:02 pm »

So Zhou deliberately caused a red flag and then drove back to the pits so they can possibly fix the car and he can go out again.

Russell struggling

gazzalfc · « **Reply #886 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:19:57 pm »

Someone will gamble on slicks soon

I'm not sure that was his intention to be honest.

Albon done well here

voodoo ray · « **Reply #889 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:27:10 pm »

tsunoda out in Q1 by 0.016. he should have gone straight at the start/finishline instead of staying on the normal racing line.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #890 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:30:45 pm »

Sainz will get a penalty for that

gazzalfc · « **Reply #891 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:34:10 pm »

Albon going on slicks

Dalglish to Rush · « **Reply #892 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:35:48 pm »

The FIA really need to do something about these cars driving so slowly before the start/finish straights before someone gets badly hurt or worse.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #893 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:40:37 pm »

amusingly chaotic conditions.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #894 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:41:30 pm »

No level of strategy wins over a weather radar

gazzalfc · « **Reply #895 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:42:07 pm »

Sainz needs another penalty for that

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #896 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:47:27 pm »

Perez and Leclerc in danger.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #897 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:48:12 pm »

Perez out. Leclerc as well

RedG13 · « **Reply #898 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:49:35 pm »

Q3 should be interesting with the rain

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #899 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:49:46 pm »

Can it rain all season please so McLaren can qualify?

2 races running out in Q2 for both. If it was a one off it wouldn’t be so bad, especially considering the weather, but 2 races running is just not good enough. They’re both capable of so much better than what they’re serving up at the moment.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #901 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:50:29 pm »

they've both fucked it again.

Elzar · « **Reply #902 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:53:13 pm »

Lawrence Stroll must still be confident of those 2 Aston’s getting in the top 3. His son has done the job…

RedG13 · « **Reply #903 on:** June 17, 2023, 09:56:10 pm »

Is Albon winning pole the funniest outcome?

gazzalfc · « **Reply #904 on:** June 17, 2023, 10:00:23 pm »

Piastri out

Red Flag with Hulkenberg on p2

Hulkenberg timing of it was incredible i saw it go p2 then red flag

sminp · « **Reply #906 on:** June 17, 2023, 10:00:54 pm »

Hulk just won the lottery with the timing of his lap against the red flag.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #907 on:** June 17, 2023, 10:00:59 pm »

I was just thinking how well mclaren had done getting both their cars into Q3 and pastry is in the wall.

he has, but the timing amused me.

pole is done. nobody (except maybe verstappen himself) is beating that time, especially now.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #911 on:** June 17, 2023, 10:06:51 pm »

I think the grid will be it

It’s your fault the timing of your post.

gazzalfc · « **Reply #913 on:** June 17, 2023, 10:10:51 pm »

Full wets now

RedG13 · « **Reply #914 on:** June 17, 2023, 10:11:43 pm »

Yea I think Grid is set. Full wets wont do anything.

voodoo ray · « **Reply #915 on:** June 17, 2023, 10:13:59 pm »

well done again to the haas team. conditions or not you still have to go out there and do the time.

probably end up 6th by the end of lap 1 tomorrow obviously.

RedG13 · « **Reply #916 on:** June 17, 2023, 10:16:32 pm »

Hulkenberg getting 2nd in qualifying great job by him and the time at Haas. Got a little luck with the timing of the red flag.

I somehow hadn't realised until this weekend how mini danica patrick is. not unusual for racing drivers for obvious reasons but she's small even for one of them.

She listed at 1.56 meters(5'1.5) so makes sense. The photo of Porzingis and tsunoda was crazy.
Russell irc tall for a driver

Yeah Russell is unusually tall for a driver. I remember when he stepped in for Hamilton in Bahrain I think they said they basically had to squash him in and have him wear smaller shoes because the car just wasn’t built for anyone anywhere near his size.
