plus, this is the first weekend in five years where I haven't watched a single FP 🤣
If you had just posted it on time...😁 But that second to last one is pretty good too 👍

Jason Campbell70 said:Hamilton driving slow? Hamilton was out there absolutely shredding it—running fastest laps on those old ultrasoft tires for over 20 laps—before ultimately snatching the fastest lap of the race at the very end. He’d drop two seconds—then just leave it to Ricciardo to handle the comeback.
It’s hard to simplify how you're reading the situation. The race pace was all over the place—constant fluctuations thanks to way too many yellow flags in certain sectors, not to mention the VSC issues.
mellowtiger83 said:I've been thinking—Daniel Ricciardo starting on those hard compounds from Mercedes is a total disaster. Why? Because Mercedes is going to pit early, hit that perfect undercut on fresh rubber, and jump right back ahead of Ricciardo once he finally switches tires.
A safety car is almost a guarantee tomorrow. It’ll be a blessing for some and a curse for others—could get pretty wild.
Mercedes seems to have the edge on pace, and if they pull off that undercut on the new Ultrasofts, they could pull off something crazy—especially Lewis Hamilton, assuming the car holds up.
Man, you completely missed the mark there. Total swing and a miss. 🙏🙏🙏
It isn’t pouring right now—just a light drizzle. But after those downpours last night and this morning, all the rubber has been washed off the track and temperatures have tanked. Grip is going to be non-existent. I heard there was already a massive pileup at Turn 1 during the Porsche race this morning.
