I have a feeling this is going to be RF.

The onboard footage from Leclerc's car showed he wasn't pushing that hard.

He’s playing on home turf, and honestly, nobody moves faster than him when he wants to.

Besides, look at last year. He absolutely crushed the field during qualifying, even with a car that was basically a lemon. Sure, there was that one little mistake at the finish, but let's be real.
He didn't lose the race because someone outran him; he lost because he wasn't even on the starting grid.

So you're basically saying he grew up riding bikes on this course, which is why he knows every inch of it?😁

Raymond Anderson4 said:How can we actually tell what a car is truly capable of? Between managing tire degradation over the weekend and trying to preserve the engine life throughout the season, you just don't get the luxury of hunting for qualifying-style laps constantly. In reality, we probably only see two or three genuine runs per week where the car is light on fuel and dialed in with maximum settings. That’s hardly a large enough sample size to know if a qualifying time is actually the absolute limit, or if there are still a few tenths hiding under the surface.


Even with all five... that isn't really the "issue" here...
What bothers me is when people claim a driver was driving "beyond the car's capability"... physically speaking, that is impossible... that's all there is to it...

Does anyone know when the Indianapolis 500 kicks off? Also, does anyone have a link to a decent stream?
Honestly, watching these losers is just a waste of time.

It’s entirely possible that the pre-race hype and all this anticipation might actually turn out to be more exciting than the race itself.

Actually, if you watch the camera on Leclerc's car, it clearly shows him running over something with his rear left tire—or at least hitting it with the back left side of the car.

There truly isn't anyone faster than him when it comes to the wall.🤣

The amateurs were just waiting for the rain to quit so they could run on slicks. They're terrified of losing grip on the track.
But the rain's picking up... just keep coming, let it pour 🙂

And he even went ahead and grabbed some beer and chips

P.S. there’s absolutely nowhere for this water to drain around here... putting the beer back in the fridge

Bottas is just trolling now that there isn't a race on the schedule.

🤣

Honestly, this is easily the most tedious track on the calendar. Qualifying basically becomes more important—and frankly, way more exciting—than the actual race itself. There’s zero room to overtake, so once the grid is set, that’s pretty much it; you’re stuck with whatever position you grab at the start until the checkered flag. Plus, there's always that looming threat of someone smashing into the barriers or causing a massive pile-up...

User, I swear, not too long ago they were actually arguing about whether to call the race due to monsoon-level rain. They’d just cruise lap after lap under the Pace Car, waiting for even the slightest hint of a biblical downpour before deciding to go again. Nowadays? A tiny bit of drizzle hits the track and everything gets canceled immediately.

Formula canceled because of rain 🙏

Are you kidding me? What a joke.

Well, looks like we're back to mixing it up on the tires.
