JB 👋

Man, Mass... let's get it moving. :klap:

JB 👋

Mass is killing it... let's go.

What an absolute moron this director is. 🤦

Button is absolutely shredding both Webber and Zalonso 🙏

Nancy Scott5 said:I'm thinking he'll go for hard tires first, then switch to softs for those final stints to hunt down that podium.

They went the exact opposite way... staying on softs and then switching to hards at the end, if I caught that right...

The folks over at ESPN are saying the heat should make the gap between hards and softs smaller than usual. 🤷

btw... can't believe Webber isn't passing him with DRS. 🤔

Ford's pit stops are a joke again 🤦 they barely made it out

Ford could actually grab a podium here

Way to go, Lewis 👋

God, Alonso 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

He just blew past him 🙏

Smart move by Vettel to find clean air instead of wasting his life stuck behind Alonso.

Oh, please. 🤦

Let's go JB, let's go Lewis, let's go Vitalij, let's go Nick 👋

Man 🙈

Come on Lewis, show them who's boss 👋

DRS window 🍿

Heidfeld jumped up 7 spots 🙏

🤣

Given the hour I'm typing this and everything else on my plate, it’s entirely possible 😳 😬

By the way, do you even know how long a mile actually is? Or how much distance a car covers in just ten seconds on average?

And nice call by steelmaker83 calling them "haters".
People are spending way too much energy obsessing over Alonso finishing fourth, mocking him instead of acknowledging any actual progress. It's like they think his position is some massive catastrophe. Instead of worrying about Alonso, maybe focus on the Red Bull dominance.
And why isn't anyone talking about Webber's number one status? Who's actually going to take the lead into the first turn tomorrow?

First off, let's talk about Alonso squeezing himself between those McLarens.
You have to realize we're talking about thousandths of a second here—both in front and behind. In terms of time, it's negligible, but for track position, it's huge.
In recent races, Alonso hasn't really gained anything from his starts; he tends to play it safe, which I'm totally fine with.
That's why a better starting position matters for a single spot. Especially on a track like this.
The Ferrari looks strong and capable in the early stages. We've seen both McLaren and Ferrari pull off overtakes on the Red Bulls before, even under this year's conditions. So, there's no reason to be a total pessimist right out of the gate.

What I’d really love to see is someone from the second row dive in and wedge themselves among the Red Bulls. Since Webber has a habit of messing up his starts, a lucky break could theoretically put someone right into the fight for the lead. I don't think that's a pipe dream. That's when we'll see the real hierarchy.

Save the doom and gloom for the last quarter of the race—or for after the podium ceremony, assuming Red Bull predictably cruises to another win.

Edit: One important thing—how much distance is there to the first corner? I just hope it's not some tiny 100-meter stretch like we saw in Turkey.

What's the deal with the "dirty" side and even-numbered starting spots on this circuit? 🍿

(I know the mod is gonna jump in and say everyone's playing it clean at the start now ☕)

Good grief... these guys are barely a second ahead of the rest of the pack 🤦

Thank God the race starts at 2 PM. If it were any earlier, there's zero chance I'd be awake ☕

God, Button... some idiot just cut him off right in front of him 🤦
