Looks like Button's on the harder compounds.

As far as I know, Button's actually on softs.

The only difference is his tires will probably last twice as long as Hamilton's. ☕

Honestly, I think Volkswagen should be worrying more about him and Alonso than Hamilton. Lewis just burns through rubber like crazy, and he’s starting tomorrow on tires that are already basically shot. Realistically, unless there's some miracle SC at just the right moment, a podium is a long shot. Anything else? Yeah, I doubt it.

redheron12 said:Look, man,

Lewis Hamilton is insanely fast. He’s 0.25 seconds ahead of Red Bull in qualifying, which means he’s got a 0.5-second edge in the race. He's gonna tear them apart on track like a toddler with a rattle, rain or SC be damned.

Yeah, right. He'll shred his tires in three laps and then go head-first into the wall.🤣

Hamilton will be lucky to even finish in the top 10 tomorrow.😉

With two RBs on the podium, the only real question is who takes third—Alonso or Robert Kubica? Everything else is just pure fantasy.😬

Joshua Newman2 said:That’s exactly my point! If we don't get an early SC, the guys on hard tires are going to run the show. But if it rains right before or just after the start—or if an early SC pops up—Hamilton and Alonso will have pulled off their best moves of the season.

If it rains regardless of any SC, Hamilton and Button are toast; the RB cars and Kubica are going to absolutely shred them. 😉

By the end of the race, with a pile of discarded rubber on the track and only 5-10 laps left on softs, those guys will literally be flying. 😁

All in all, I think we're looking at the race of the season. It's going to be incredibly intense and interesting. 🙏

Joshua Newman2 said:Anyone got the data on which tires the Q3 guys are starting on tomorrow? I know Red Bull is on hards, and Hamilton and Alonso are on softs, but I’m clueless about the rest. 🤷
If those softs only last a few laps, tire strategy is going to be everything tomorrow. If an early SC pops up, the guys on softs are kings. If not, they're probably screwed.

Witmarsh says we'll see an SC right in the first lap 😬

I bet Button gets the same orders Nelson Piquet did 🤣

If I saw that right:

Hards: both RB, Robert Kubica 🙏

Thomas Morales13 said:Yeah, probably happened, but they've cut him off way more than once before...
Hopefully things get sorted out soon, because right now, this is absolute torture to listen to. 👍

The picture is an eyesore, and the audio is even worse. 🤣

PBS needs to change its name to PBS—Public Broadcasting Despair. 🙏

Then let HOTO buy them out and build some luxury condos in downtown Chicago with a view of Lake Michigan. 😂

They’re talking nonsense, but I just rewatched that lap. Honestly? Absolute perfection. 🙏🙏🙏

Nicole Reyes97 said:I honestly can't deal with how insane the McLaren crew is acting🤣 what is actually wrong with them? 😱 🤣

Valiant Coulthard

Their strategy is basically:

A Safety Car is definitely hitting the track in the first few laps, so let's just dive in for tires immediately. 🤣

They're trying to copy Fernando Alonso, but you don't pull stunts like that with PP. 🤣 😂

McLaren is a complete mess right now 🤣

Lewis Hamilton just put in a monster lap 🙏

He’s got pole, but don't hold your breath for the finish. He won't even be in the top ten by the end of three laps 🤣

Those tires are absolutely cooked. He's running softs and losing two or three seconds a lap. Red Bull is going to cruise to this, though Fernando Alonso might sneak onto the podium. Ferrari is way better at tire management

Sebastian Vettel messed up qualifying, but he still landed a great spot 😁

Mark Webber falls at the start, if he hits someone, Vettel takes it 🙏

Lewis Hamilton is literally pushing his car down the track 😂

Top positions right now go to Fernando Alonso, Robert Kubica, Mark Webber, and Sebastian Vettel

If it starts raining halfway through, McLaren is looking at zero points

Honestly, McLaren's strategy is just plain stupid

Maybe you just had one too many Budweisers 😁

redheron12 said:🤣

All that tough talk from you guys hating on Schumacher.

Where were you back in 2003 when the angry mob would've literally lynched him?

Running right in front of them.🤣 😂

😉

Both Williams and the FIA are making fools out of Grandpa 🤣

Honestly, the old man is ready for a cane and retirement at this point. He’s an absolute embarrassment 🤦

Robert Kubica and Sebastian Vettel are only 15.500 apart 🙏🙏🙏

And this is only ten minutes into Q2 😲

Button looks like he’s about to lose his mind ???????

Lewis Hamilton is sitting at 1 😕

Completely baffling 🤷

The regulars are out, and Kobayashi too—not that I can tell you which order they went in. All I know is Kov was clinging to 18th place until the very last second.🙏

Lotus 🙏

Kudos to Kov and Lotus. They’re killing it lately—at this rate, they might actually make it into Q2 🙏

What did Massa just smash? Was it part of the wall or his car? 🤷

Something flashed on screen, but I couldn't tell what actually happened. 😕

Looks like just a raw feed. No commentary at all. 🙏

Anyone got a clue how to look like I'm in the UK?😬

Like, what's the trick to getting a British IP address?😁

Sadly, FreeVPN isn't working anymore.🙂

Unless I manually plug in some British proxy,🤷

but honestly, I have zero idea where to even find one.🤷

Arthur Doyle70 said:Cut the crap 😁

Why not? 😁

I'm just waiting to see Witmarsh at the start, watching how he pushes Jenson Button's car, and then seeing that little firecracker push Lewis Hamilton 😁

Arthur Doyle70 said:Sure, but compared to yesterday's first practice, the car feels like it's gone totally rogue. It's not just about the tires...
he claims he doesn't like the track..🤣🤣

McLaren clearly has some massive issues with a full fuel load; word is they're bottoming out hard on the asphalt. That makes things interesting. They might actually challenge PP during qualifying if they're on softs, but once they fuel up and get stuck on the track at the start, PP will blow past them and Chandok will be at turn one before they even wake up.🤣
