Sebastian Vettel as expected, absolutely nailed it πŸ‘πŸ˜
Jenson Button and Felipe Massa πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

Mark Webber 🀷
I don't know, I'm not feeling this. Looks like Red Bull Racing might not be the kings of this track after all.

I am genuinely curious to see just how much mileage Lewis can squeeze out of those super-softs🀣🀣
Maybe six laps at most, if we're lucky🀣🀣

McLaren boss Martin Whitmarsh said: "Things were pretty close, right? It’s a bit of a letdown, sure, but having both cars sitting on those front two rows means things are about to get interesting. I think Lewis ran wide on the last corner. Neither his or Jenson's were bad laps. We showed we can launch hard from the start, and since both drivers looked solid during their long runs on Friday so I think we'll be in good shape for the race."

I'm expecting a massive bottleneck and probably a few retirements at Turn 1 tomorrow β˜•

It’s going to be interesting watching how Alonso, Massa, and Webber handle the start.🀣

6 laps max, if I had to guess.🀣 🀣

Honestly, I don't get McLaren's strategy at all.πŸ˜•
It’s obvious the soft (yellow) tires will be better for the race, so why waste a set now?🀷

So what, Hamilton ends up with one fresh set of yellows and one fresh set of reds, but he has to start on the reds anyway?🀷

I just don't buy that they can stretch out a red-yellow-red stint.🀷

To me, this "different" strategy looks more like a handicap than an advantage.🀷

I'm hoping you're wrong too. It's not that I have anything against Felt (but I definitely have something against Webber 😍))

Personally, I find this whole situation ahead much more intriguingβ€”it’s got that certain... something, if you catch my drift. 😁

The absolute dream scenario? Lewis tries to dive down the inside of Vettel at Turn 1, ends up slamming right into him, and they both just... retire. Boom. Problem solved. β˜•

Honestly, at this rate, even Button could probably find a way to wedge himself right into the middle of that mess. 😬

The perfect scenario: Lewis tries to dive past Vettel at turn one, slams into him, and they both DNF β˜•

Oh, and Button can always join the party by smashing into them too 😬

Massa will probably wreck Hamilton before Hamilton even gets near Vettel πŸ˜‰

When it comes to Vettel, I'm way more worried about Massa and Alonso than Button and Hamilton.

actually, throw Button into the mix and he could probably take them both out too 😬

btw, there’s a new F1 podcast over on BBC Sports from last night
give it a listen

there's some pretty interesting stuff in there
I always get the most out of it when they start speculating about who's actually going to step up to the plate and who's just going to coast through the competitionπŸ˜³πŸ™‚πŸ˜πŸ˜

I am simply hoping we don't end up facing a scenario similar to Hemes and Button's 1-2 finish, where Button is actually faster but gets radioed in from the pits to start saving fuel rather than pushing for the win.😒

the absolute dream scenario here: Lewis tries to dive past Vettel at turn one, slams right into him, and they both just end up out of the race β˜•

oh, and let's not forget Button could easily pile into them too 😬

look, Button isn't some rookie idiotπŸ˜‰
Chris Ortiz said:man, I'm just praying we don't see some weird Hemes-Button 1-2 finish where Button is actually faster but the engineers are screaming in his ear to save fuel 😒

yeah, me too.

what's the weather looking like for the Canadian Grand Prix anyway?
you think we're gonna get hit with rain? 🀷

Yeah, sure... he waited over a year just to drop that one line...

Chris Ortiz said:oh yeah, totally, we're all expecting nothing less than a total blowout victory tomorrow

God, Vettel is getting so exhausting with this brain-dead way of talkingπŸ™„

Honestly, even a second-place finish is fine if Fernando pulls it off

I mean, it was bound to happen eventually, even if it's just a total jokeβ˜•

Yep, looks like they're just stuck in neutral while Force India and Sauber are actually making moves. Who knows, maybe they've already checked out and moved on to next season, or maybe this is just some temporary mess. 🀷

Honestly, if Vettel decides to just pull the plug and retire mid-race, I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep over it. 😬

Massa might actually pull something off tomorrow. He’s been killing it at the starts over the last three races, so I wouldn't be shocked if he finds himself sitting in the top two right after the lights go out.
