    I had an opportunity to watch with the F1TV commentary this time (the broadcasting rights here are for a Sky-based company), and I have to say it was refreshing for it not to be a complete Norris-fest, while still acknowledging it’s a special race for him. DC’s reaction to Max’s lap was fantastic.

    Oof the moment Bearman does a stupid red flag pit lane crash, he does a mega Q1 lap

    Max is an absolute wizard, and it’s times like these that he really shows it. Where did that even come from?? Fantastic driving.

      I feel like his pole lap in Suzuka earlier this year was even crazier but yeah sometimes he just decides to put his foot down and remind the world that there are levels to this.

    The Ferrari did well in Q2 and did not manage to keep the pace in Q3. tomorrow is going to be good. Max is impressive.

        Aston are super inconsistent with strategy, imo. They do some weird stuff sometimes but they also pull off some great calls on occasion.

    I feel bad for Colapinto but he’s not fast enough or has a junior career good enough to afford all these mistakes and crashes.

      I’d think one needs a half decent car to be able to show speed. Or do the comparison with his peer in the team. For the former he showed something with Williams. For the latter, he is not far from Gasly, with a decade less experience. But yes clearly a rookie and a lot to learn

      yeah that’s the thing when you realise the difference between all of them, they are all top drivers.

    How the fuck does max do it. Throughout the weekend, both the McLarens and the Ferraris looked faster and still the madlad delivers a perfect lap to snatch pole

      Never would’ve guessed that the year he’s (probably) NOT winning the championship is the year he shows just how insanely talented he is as a driver. I think this is the third time this year he’s snatched pole with a perfect lap.

      Thank god RBR is shitting the bed because Max looks like he’s ready to repeat 2023. No disrespect towards Max but watching GPs to see who comes second isn’t all that exciting.
