Topic: Formula One - The 2023 Season

George Russell was literally the first one there. Lewis Hamilton is the king of taking himself too seriously.

Perhaps he had a prior engagement who knows? I am going off what they said.

It's be great if this stayed dry and we can see how well Albon and Sargeant can go. Seeing them and Lando towards the top is superb.

Which is also known as being too busy? Which was Red Bull's reasoning?

[jillcwhomever]

I can't remember hamilton ever doing any of sky f1's "activities" at any point (and they've done a lot over the years, darts, RC cars, fucking jenga etc) so they probably just don't bother inviting him any more!

To be fair, it's was the first time I had watched any of these things and I only watched it as I was knackered. Perhaps that's why as you say, it's just nice to see a bit of the drivers out of the car and relaxing albeit still being competitive!

Who fucking knows? They just said they were too busy until the weirdos turned up.

[jillcwhomever]

Yay, Norris is top at least for now. Who knows will be there by the end?

[Funky_Gibbons]

Who bet on McLaren and Alpine being 1 and 2.

No longer.

I was saying that your reasoning was a bit hypocritical Jill. Fine for Lewis to be too busy but not Red Bull. I get you're probably biased towards the Brit though.

Bugger off. You obviously aren't on here a lot, as most people know I'm not a fan of Hamilton, so get off your high horse.

[Funky_Gibbons]

Can we cancel Q3 and have this as the starting grid please?

[sminp]

What the fuck are they fuelling Lando’s car with?! He’s gonna get pole at this rate! 😀

Will you give it a rest ffs. Jill made a completely innocent comment and you’ve done nothing but attack her.

It doesn't bother me mate.

Making yourself look a bit silly now.

[jillcwhomever]

Can these conditions stay like this for the rest of the season, so it can be this exciting?

Really enjoyable quali so far, particularly for us McLaren fans

Certainly is, can't see anyone other than Verstappen on pole though. I was hoping the collusion with the pit wall would affect his car. 

[voodoo ray]

If I was a bookie and someone wanted to put a bet on verstappen getting pole I'd tell them to fuck off.

[iamnant]

Get in McClaren!!!

[DelTrotter]

Fuck off Verstappen. Still, amazing for McLaren!

[jillcwhomever]

McLaren second and third, wow.

[Trump's tiny tiny hands]

McLaren are back baby!!

[Darren G]

Well fuck.  That was something.

[voodoo ray]

Fucking hell that mclaren is working well.

[Funky_Gibbons]

Amazing by McLaren!!!

That’s a tight top 8.

[sminp]

Fucks sake my head went celebrating a Lando pole and ended up forgetting Max was still on his lap 😅

[naYoRHa2b]

Super impressive from McLaren.

Mercedes now getting done in by a customer team

[west_london_red]

Those are some upgrades they’ve made on the McLaren

Not been watching much? Aston Martin have been outperforming them nearly all season.

[sminp]

This the same Aston that are behind Merc in the constructors? Granted it’s probably due more to the driver pairings than the car but it’s all part of the package.

Impressive to take it back to a baseline and then have the upgrades work immediately. It should translate to race pace as well, it did at the last track. They have a third package for the next race, imagine if that took them forward a similar step?

So are McLaren, does that mean they didn’t outperform Mercedes today?

Aston Martin are three points behind and most of that is because daddy’s cash is shit.

Aye they did but one swallow does not make a summer and I’m saying this as a McLaren fan. Objectively speaking Merc are 2nd in the championship, the table doesn’t lie.

Yes, they need to make it count tomorrow and get some real points on the board. At least they know going forward the updates are working and they can hopefully fine tune them a bit more in the coming races.

[IgorBobbins]

Great stuff from McClaren - their upgrades have been huge.  I hope their race pace is decent. 

Mercs shocking again

The post I responded to said Mercedes are now being beaten by a customer team (in qualifying). I just pointed out that has been happening many times this season already by Aston Martin. 

It’s not even the first time McLaren have qualified ahead of Mercedes this season which makes the comment even more silly.

The Merc has been a better race day car than one lap quali car all season. It’ll be interesting to see how they all shake out tomorrow, can see there being quite an interesting battle between the McLarens, Ferraris and Mercs then you wouldn’t be surprised to see Alonso get himself into that battle either.

again if you ignore position #1 which is predictable, the rest of the grid has provided good interest and entertainment this season.

Roughly 0.3s between P2 and P7.

For the love of God , I hope it pisses down all race tmw. The sport is sooo fucking dull it's unbearable!
