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

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

yeah he is a beast.

[โ€“] Goodeye8@piefed.social 2 points 1 year ago

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.

0.5 second covering the top 16th is crazy

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 11 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] Microw@piefed.zip 10 points 1 year ago

Max burying his possibilities of getting out that RB contract

[โ€“] espentan@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Max is something special..

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

simply lovely ;)

[โ€“] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 year ago

Verstappen too good, what a great lap

[โ€“] rayquetzalcoatl@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] ari_verse@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

[โ€“] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Uh oh Hamilton.. why did Ferrari do this?

[โ€“] Worx@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Never mind, Ferrari master plan

The heads of Ferrari strategy team would've been on the chopping block if Hamilton would've gone out in Q1 at his home race.

Verstappen, damn. Another solid quali.

[โ€“] ninth_plane@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[โ€“] wes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

โ€œI donโ€™t knowโ€

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[โ€“] lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's more like it, Ferrari. Keep it up for Q3.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

yeah too bad. they did a great Q2

Saved a set of tires. Good choice.

[โ€“] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 1 year ago

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

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[โ€“] Nighed@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That hasn't taken penalties into account.

[โ€“] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

yeah just the raw q3 result
