Seriously, your rooting is basically a curse for any driver. 🀣 🀣 🀣 🀣 🀣

Tibi, regarding Kimiβ€”how do you explain such a massive performance gap between the two Ferrari cars?

Is it truly significant whether they are trailing far behind Mercedes (Kimi), or if the margin is actually quite slim during qualifying for Ferrari?πŸ€”

Why even pivot the topic like that? πŸ™‚ It was a Renault... πŸ™‚

Sebastian Vettel πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™
Vettel is still way better, but hey, at least he actually has a shot now...
If they nail the starts and the race pace, this season could actually be decent. πŸ™‚

The strategy was spot on!
Pascalino Giovinazzi πŸ™ is clearly already driving like his life depends on it. 😳

Jolyon Palmer is an even bigger joke than Lance Stroll; honestly, being over 3 seconds slower than Hulk is just pathetic. 🀦

Red Bull obviously has some nasty suspension issues. They'll improve for sure, but seeing Max trailing Vettel by a full second is massiveβ€”I'm not even sure he can close that gap on his own...

I didn't catch the action, what ended up happening in Q3 with Kimi? Is he trailing significantly behind Vettel?

Better than Ricciardo. You can bet your house that Hulk starts ahead of Ricciardo. β˜•

Just because this guy made a mistake doesn't change anythingβ€”otherwise, Renault is definitely slower than Red Bull πŸ™‚

Where did the visionary go?

I hope he didn't bet the whole house on Vettel's pole position.

The gap between the Ferrari drivers is probably looking something like this:
Hamilton 1:22.188
Vettel 1:22.456
- 0.268

Bottas 1:22.481
Kimi RΓ€ikkΓΆnen 1:23.033
- 0.552

(552+268)/2 = 0.410

Roughly half a second or less. But hey, that’s still a chunk when you consider Vettel put in a killer lap while Lewis had a rough one...

From what I can see, Ricciardo's Red Bull is easily the slowest one out there...
I mean, a car pinned against the wall is obviously slower than everyone elseβ€”it's even slower than Palmer. πŸ™‚

It’ll be interesting to see if Ricciardo can even manage to finish ahead of Hulk by the end of the race...

They said Vettel is driving an ex-Alonso car, so that's why he's 0.6 seconds faster than Kimi... just a standard feature.πŸ˜‰

How can you be so blunt? One Renault dropped out in Q1 while the other didn't make Q3, yet both Red Bulls made it into Q3. Don't mess with me.

I guess Sebastian Vettel made two mistakes during his final flying lap.

What are you even talking about? Lewis had a flawless session, while Vettel completely blew it in Q1 by just two-hundredths of a secondβ€”he looked just as gutted as the folks over at Ferrari.

It’s such a shame because Ferrari actually showed more pace in Q3, and they were neck-and-neck in Q2, which pretty much tells me their aero package might actually be the superior setup at Ferrari.
