2013 British Grand Prix at Indianapolis (June 30th)

Lujo is probably gonna hit my inbox any second now

Lewis Hamilton just broke the 1:30 barrier 🙏. They put in a solid qualifying session, but let’s be real—they don't stand a chance on race day. This one is going straight to Red Bull 😢

Man, if Fernando’s car is really that bad that Nick Heidfeld is pulling half a second on him... I just can't buy it.
Actually, scratch that. Not half a second. My eyes were playing tricks on me...

It’s a total disaster for Ferrari. I mean, look, I’m sure both cars will make it through to the next round, but they’re leaving way too much on the table by letting all those good positions slip away.

In Q2, Alonso was nearly half a second ahead of Felipe Massa—so I'm pretty sure he squeezed everything out of that car
What on earth have Lotus and Ferrari been doing for the last three weeks?!

Does anyone actually have a clue what’s causing this slump? Is it just a case of them failing to nail the setup, or did everyone else just find a massive leap forward during the break?

The front two spots were exactly as expected—clean and decisive—but then things got messy, with six drivers all fighting to pack into a three-tenths gap.

What a shame.

What half a second? It looks to me like Fernando squeezed every last drop out of that thing.

I was actually right in the middle of editing my own post while you were typing yours. I misread things...
Pih :/

All in all, it’s a total mess.

Maybe Lewis Hamilton's cat took a massive dump on Fernando Alonso's Ferrari front wing, which would explain why his qualifying session was such a disaster...
I'm fully expecting some ridiculous excuse like that 😬

What was the problem? He drove as hard as he could. In fact, he went even further than that.

Lewis Hamilton looks like a man facing a death sentence right now, especially during that interview 🤣

Absolute masterclass in qualifying Mercedes

🙏

😬

It’s honestly a comedy at this point. After three weeks, everyone seems to have found their rhythm and picked up the pace, yet Ferrari just keeps dragging their feet.
The championship is wide open now, and it wouldn't take much for things to flip on their head.

It’s a shame I couldn't tune in to the qualifying session alongside Mladen Jergović and his expert analysis.

Lewis Hamilton was absolutely brilliant, even right in the heart of Northamptonshire. 🙏🙏🙏
I wonder if the equipment they use to support the younger crew is finally giving out? 🙏

Vettel’s complaining about the cold, claiming there's zero grip...

Tomorrow, it’s going to be Mercedes and Red Bull fighting for the win, while Fernando settles for somewhere around 5th or 6th. I’m starting to worry that if we're looking at the championship standings, Fernando is already out of the running. It was obvious that the whole tire circus at the start played right into Lotus and Ferrari's hands, but now the momentum has completely shifted.

That is precisely how it strikes me as well.

Pastor Maldonado might end up starting from the back of the pack, apparently because he’s running into some issues hitting the car's minimum weight requirement.

Pastor Maldonado got slapped with a penalty for being too slow
