Embassy of Belgium (Indianapolis Motor Speedway) 08/24/2014

Just stumbled upon this yesterday. Serious respect!

I have a feeling they’re going to call a halt to qualifying pretty soon.

Roschoke might be cheating, but even if the refs were looking the other way, it still wouldn't be enough to put them in first place. Classic.

nice one, Nick 🙂

where did those Williams cars go in Q3? 🤷

The maestro pulled ahead of that Finnish fraud by a split second.

Look, Maestro...😂 That nickname is pure nonsense. I mean, Sebastian Vettel absolutely schooled Žalons again...

You really think they’re actually going to validate a time set during a scam?🤷
It's totally possible they just wipe Ricco and Alons' last lap times entirely...

On another note, it's pretty wild that Ferrari—who clearly has the pace to be right up there—isn't sitting in P3 or P4. Even weirder? Williams is right on their heels, yet they aren't even close to the front two rows.😕

It's entirely possible they end up scrubbing the final lap times for both Ricco and Alons...

I wouldn't be surprised, especially when it comes to Richard.
If they start deleting times, who would actually stay in the top 10?
Starting with Rosbergadrag.

Why Richard?
Because without that mistake after Blanchimont, Ricardo would have cruised right into third place.
As it stands, he leveled the playing field himself.

It looks like Nico Rosberg’s dominance is just continuing. Honestly, it’s exactly what we all expected to see happen.

Michael Diaz4 said:Listen, maestro...😂 What a ridiculous nickname... Well, looks like Sebastian Vettel just gave Žalons another one of those reality checks....

🤣🤣🤣

That's actually pretty interesting. It’s honestly baffling. You look at the Ferrari—which, let's be real, is easily the second fastest car on the grid right now—and they can't even break into those top three or four spots. What makes it even weirder is seeing Williams sitting right there in the mix with them, yet they aren't even remotely close to challenging for a front-row start. It just doesn't add up. 😕

🤣🤣🤣

Man, those animals... pure legend status.🙂🙂🙂🙂

Does anyone happen to have a link to the recording somewhere? 😢

Patrick Bailey4 said:So, we're seeing Nico Rosberg just run away with it. Honestly, it’s pretty much what you'd expect at this point.

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣🤣

He really gave him a lesson out there... Now Žalons is left complaining... It looks like Daniel Ricciardo still has some growing to do when the track gets wet...

Mercedes is running about two seconds ahead of Red Bull right now, which makes sense given how much they seem to love the rain... and honestly, they’re even further ahead of the rest of the field. It makes you wonder what tomorrow’s race is actually going to look like. We haven't seen this kind of dominance in a long, long time... I mean, even back when Michael Schumacher was at his absolute peak, he wasn't pulling away from everyone quite like this. As long as Lujo and barbika don't go doing something stupid to each other tomorrow, I guess everything else is pretty much decided.

Did you catch 🙂FP3
?

ruggedhawk20 said:Does that mean Chilton is a lower-quality driver?

I honestly don't have anyone to compare him to. I simply noted that he's "cheap" and likely serves as decent pit wall support for his current team. What I do know is that if I were running a team, I'd rather have a Chilton on the roster than a Pastor Maldonado, if nothing else.

So now we find out that taking Pole is actually useless and you’re better off starting from second position anyway. 🙏🤣

stormybadger8 said:So now we find out that taking the Pole isn't even all that great and starting from second might actually be the smarter move... 🙏🤣

Honestly, he probably does his best work when he's just coming out of the pits, because that's usually when he pulls off his most impressive results...🤣

Nico Rosberg disagrees, claiming the best move is to start from Pole 🤣

Which geniuses 🤣 are already playing mind games in their pre-race quotes 😁

stormybadger8 said:Nico Rosberg isn't buying it. He’s actually arguing that starting from Polly is the smarter play here. 🤣

What a bunch of wise guys. 🤣 They’re already starting with the pre-race trash talk. It’s all just games and jabs before they even hit the track. 😁

If they just go and mess up the start, you'll have the whole second row leading the pack before anyone even realizes what happened.😁

Kimi didn't even come close to Alonso; if anything, he just drifted further away, and that was on his own turf—trailing by a full second at 😂

The Mercedes-Benz cars look absolutely terrifyingly fast right now, unless they’ve somehow stumbled onto some kind of wet-weather setup or just happen to be better in the rain than everyone else? 😁
