Making this early as I doubt I’ll be able to watch live this weekend. I need to take the little one to a kids birthday party 😬.
Anyway, post away your thoughts from the qualifying session in the future!
Both Williams in Q3 let’s go
all aboard!
Sargeant is looking 50/50 if he makes Q3. Albon is looking pretty certain though.
Was there a big upgrade to their package or is it just a good track for them?
Are you a visionary or on an insane amount of hopium?
Yes
Albon has been carrying my fantasy team 🙏
Holy shit McLaren
🧡 🧡
Oof, Perez…
Would really surprise me to see him at Red Bull next year.
Who would replace him? Yuki?
I know a lot of people are wishing for DR, but…is that really realistic?
How about Albon?
I doubt he wants to go back.
If Williams can find some money and keep developing the car it makes sense to stay. But if the money is not there then it makes sense to jump.
From the Beyond the Grid pod with James Vowles he was saying the team has significant funding behind it. Issue is the money is being spent on the facilities and being the processes and systems up to date.
I’m hoping Albon can stay. He fits the team nicely I think.
I think he should stay. Williams at last seem to be making some progress.
I’m hoping for them to bump Yuki to Checos seat next season. I doubt they’ll do anything mid season, and as much as I’d love to see Danny Ric back in the Red Bull seat I think that ship has sailed.
Yuki in the Red Bull 2024 though? And hell then throw Danny Ric in the AT.
A man can dream.
There has to be someone lobbying hard for Danny Ric to replace Checo, especially after 5(!!!) missed Q3s. That’s extremely embarrassing for someone in the fastest car.
Max will be lobbying against that for sure.
Sure, but when other teams start to catch up, having no wingman will start to hurt strategy.
I don’t wish harm on Max, but if he could bin it tomorrow and McLaren finish 1/2 I would be so happy.
My heart skipped a beat there when Lando was first. Excellent result either way and such a difference from the start of the year for McLaren
I literally gasped out loud and yelled out “OMG!” when that happened, not realizing Lando was one of the first over the line. But then the motorsports gods (aka Max himself) made sure RB got that P1.
I loved Lando’s cheeky, “Max ruins for everything for everyone,” in response to the interviewer mentioning Lando almost getting P1. I don’t understand how people don’t like Lando; I think he’s hilarious. Obviously him and Max are good friends, too.
Excellent day for McLaren!

Everyone when there was briefly a Williams 1-2:
Stop the count!
Yo. I actually screamed when Lando crossed that line in Q3 and Piastri too. Super happy for Albon as well!
God damn has the McLaren improved. Also piastri proving a massive upgrade on ricciardo already.
Perez out in Q1 again. Yikes.
Also what’s up with the Alfa’s just shutting off randomly? Isn’t this the third race in a row it has happened?
Max Verstappen VS Turning Radius, truly a fight of the century

Looks like the McLaren upgrades might be the real deal, at least in these conditions. Still a way off Red Bull, but great to see some progress.
Disappointed with Alonso. Looks like other teams have caught up and overtaken their early season advantage, which is a shame. Losing out to, an admittedly racey looking, Williams won’t go down well.
Hoping for some changeable conditions tomorrow.
Let’s hope they’re the real deal! I’m almost scared to watch the race now in case they both go backwards through the field and the ‘normal order’ is restored.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Aston have already turned their eyes to next season since its always been their stated goal to challenge for wins in 2024. Their competitiveness this season was sort of unexpected
Yeah I thought he’d have a better qualifying after his FP3.
