European Championship (Miami) 06.26.2011

Sebastian Vettel actually clocked a faster time at the end of FP3 than last year's pole position.
It feels like Ferrari is looking seriously strong out there.

Kamui Kobayashi ended up clipping his front wing at the tail end of the session.
As for Mercedes, it looks like they’re finally clawing their way back to that dominant form they had before Montreal.

It looks like Lewis Hamilton is circling around Red Bull, but honestly, it feels like Christian Horner couldn't care less about the whole thing if his life depended on it.🤣

I mean, yeah... why would he want to deal with yet another loose cannon when Mark has already given him enough headaches to last several lifetimes?🙂😁

If I were at the coast, I wouldn't be debating it. 🙏

Just when I was actually hoping he wouldn't take first—the guy goes and smashes the track record.
Impressive, I guess.

Looks like Vetelko was actually right 😲
Turns out these new rules are doing nothing but screwing over McLaren and Mercedes.

Grandpa 2. 🙂 😁

It looks like Jarno got a little dizzy out there

wow, check out those views from the yachts

Ugh... if Sebastian Vettel gets caught up in a mess with those McLarens right at the start, he’s going to have a really rough afternoon ahead of him.

Sebastian Vettel clinches the top spot in Q2,
with Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton right on his heels at the front of the pack.

A quick red flag just popped up, and it looks like Pastor Maldonado is having a nightmare trying to wrestle that Williams around the track.

It looks like the gearbox is starting to give out 😢

It’s probably just the gearbox from the Alfe 3.0😁

Kamui Kobayashi and Vitaly Petrov didn't make the cut for Q3, so things played out pretty much exactly how we all expected they would

Let's go, Gumbek, aiming for a top three finish!
Honestly, the real goal here is just to stay ahead of Mark Webber, because he's clearly just waiting for the chance to take out anyone trying to overtake him.

It's not like Webber doesn't struggle with his starts anyway; he usually ends up dropping down the rankings regardless.
It would definitely be a huge win if Jenson Button could manage to pull ahead of Lewis Hamilton.

Did Jenson actually say that, or am I just seeing things?

Man, Vettel is just absolutely shredding Hamilton's lap times like it's nothing!

Sebastian Vettel is just out of his mind ☕

Michael Lee4 said:Wait, did Jenson actually say that, or am I just hearing things?

Nah, you heard him perfectly fine.

Red Bull 🤦 🤦 🤦

Red Bull 🙄

Like I freaking told you guys already, absolutely nothing has changed. Red Bull Racing is still totally dominating the field. We'll just have to wait up and see what goes down at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
