I’m honestly so happy for Haas. I’ve always had a soft spot for them—they’re just chaotic and messy in the best way possible, but they're super likeable. Especially now that Mazepin is gone. They'll probably get screwed over by reliability issues again, though. 🤣

Raymond Anderson4 said:Both Ferrari and Red Bull showed serious one-lap pace today. It’s honestly hard to say who had the upper hand, but I have to give credit where it's due—huge props to Leclerc.

Lewis isn't quite there yet, but I think he really squeezed every bit of performance out of that car. He might have even found an extra tenth or two that the pit wall wasn't even expecting.

Both cars are equally solid right now. At this point, it all comes down to the driver—one tiny mistake in a corner and you're losing time instantly. This is going to be a hell of a race 👋. You've got three cars within a tenth of a second; a single blink and the gap changes.

"It looks like you're feeling pretty let down that Mercedes is off the pace"

"Totally"

🤣 🤣

Frank Walker7 said:Honestly, it’s pretty noticeable because you're constantly being distracted by the zoom, so you can't actually see what's happening on track. In a sport where thousandths of a second matter so much, it's frustrating when they don't even show the full car.

Has it really been this bad since the start of the season? I don't recall things being quite this lackluster in previous years.

It just feels like things get worse with every single season. They spend half the lap zoomed in way too tight. It’s probably some clause in their contracts requiring sponsors to get a certain percentage of screen time.

I just hope they dial it back during the actual race because of the changing dynamics. Right now, they can just lock onto one car for a lap, but once the race starts and everything is moving, there's no way they can track one car for an entire lap while staying zoomed in like this.

Bottas is going to be lined up right next to his former teammate tomorrow without any team orders. Hehe

They just want the sponsors to get noticed with that ridiculous 300x zoom.

k mag, Alonso and Bottas just jumped right past Russell 🤣 🙏

They were running on old tires.

Max Verstappen has been out there fighting two Mercedes cars all by himself for the last few seasons, but now it’s clearly about to shift into a solo battle against two Ferraris. Sergio Perez, as per usual, is miles behind.

Why is Mercedes running on used tires? Is this a total surrender? Are they just refusing to burn through a fresh set?

Nathan Doyle4 said:Nothing from McLaren... they’re just as bad as they looked....
Great job Haas, though I really expected Schumacher to break into the Third Quarter instead of Magnussen. Kudos to him and Bottas.
Now let's see if the beast finally works or not...

He probably would have made it too if he hadn't slipped in the corner. They just showed the replay a second ago.

Haas finally made it into the Third Quarter for the first time since 2019! 🙏

Old School Haas is at it again 🤣. They drive like absolute pros, then boom, another breakdown 🤣

Sam Clark75 said:You can literally hear all that scraping and squeaking through the onboard camera... super creepy. 🤦

Yep, it’s not even just scratching. It’s literally ripping chunks of asphalt right off the track. 🤦

How much screaming is going to happen if Bottas actually finishes ahead of him at the end? 🤣

Richie 🤦

This is going to be one long season.

Do you think Russell is going to crash out in the Second Quarter🤣?

Man, oh man... there’s no way on earth McLaren, Aston Martin, and Williams are actually going to sweep the podium, right? 🤦

Haas🙏

It’s just too much. This thing is massive. The first one was somewhat translucent, so it didn't really jump out at you, but this one? It’s huge, it’s pitch black, and it’s incredibly jarring. I honestly don't get why it's such a giant—it stretches from the very top all the way down the entire left side. The old one was easily 30% smaller than this.
