What a clusterfuck that was at the end.
Gasly got screwed.
Yeah so much. This was crazy by sainz

🏁 Checkered flag as the rain increases
Top 3
HAM 1:13.718
RUS +0.027
SAI +0.126Wow, Williams with the big balls strategy, nicely done
I respect it. They saw a small window to put in some fast laps on softs and they capitalized on it in a big way.
Nothing to lose everything to gain, and they took the opportunity brilliantly.
Just the perfect timing. Got the tyres into the temperature window before the rain got stronger. Not sure if those who put on the softs late will be caught out by the rain now.
These conditions really bring out the chasm in ability between Stroll and Alonso.
Between Alonso and almost everybody else. Stroll was nowhere, but Alonso in his 40’s is sharper than 75% of the current grid. His reactions when the car snaps on him is unbelievable.
hey, not touching the wall was a display of ability
Which is weird considering the fact that a few years ago stroll was pretty good in wet conditions
I always felt Stroll isn’t good in the rain per se… but he was very quick to change from wet/inters to slicks
He gambles and it paid off a few times
Well he has front row starts in Monza 2017 and Istanbul 2020. Both were wet qualifying with almost everybody on same tyres. Stroll gambled during neither of them
It might be that he has been Vandoorned already. His spirit has been broken.
You have to believe you’re the fastest or you can just hang it up. Lance does not believe he is faster than Fernando it doesn’t seem. If your goal is to do slightly worse than Alonso, you’re always going to do worse than Alonso.
Go on Albon!
Sainz is getting a penalty for that surely
Nice amount of impeding today.

The session times do not match with weekend warmup because F1TVs coverage of practice sessions now includes a 15-minute preshow. 13:30, 17:00, and 12:30 local time are the correct times.

how do y’all feel about race weekends with these later than usual session start times?
I hate them, give me my 8-9am sessions!
How about you Euros/Asians? Are these times better or worse?UK. Love them. Nothing like having a good weekend ending with a live race on a Sunday evening.
And me, bugger all on TV anyway so perfect Saturday/Sunday night activity

Top 3: VER ALO HAM
Eiminated: TSU GAS DEV SAR ZHO
Ferrari didn’t mess up the strategy.
A miracle!
Wow we need rain every weekend. This qualifying is nuts
Technical issues for Zhou, that was quick
Wonder what the issue is. Hopefully he can recover tomorrow…
Already solved
Must have still fucked with his pace. Starting 20th is better than from the pits at least.
What an action-packed FP1!
🟥 Red flag. Hülkenberg with engine issues
🟩 Green flag. This one has been a bit shorter.
