    I’ve always been a lando fan since he joined F1 but I’m not sure he has the head to be a champion sadly which really sucks. He seems to perform best when he’s coming from behind and has fewer expectations placed on him.

    That was a dynamite qualy. On tracks like this where skill expression is really high for the drivers it’s no surprise that the potentially best driver in history ends up on pole.

    I really like this track actually and think qualy here is always such a good show. I really wish the official broadcast was better at using cockpit cameras though as on tracks like this especially that’s what you want to see.

    Lando I feel like is going to be choking for a bit. His team mate is in his head.

    I wonder why did Albon stay in the pits in the final minutes of Q2, did Williams (or him) thought he couldn’t do a better lap?

    Qualy around here is always amazing. I know the first year’s layout was probably too dangerous but man was it something else. That “lap that never was” from Max still lives rent free in my head.

    0.007s gap between Norris and Piastri right now. The competition is so close between them.
