    So, we ran a few errands here, outside the Black Forest and got back to the house and I started thinking (usually dangerous) “I think I will look again for tickets for Sunday”, And I’ll be damned. Fuc

Adrian Newey black magic you mean

The rest of the pack closed the gap a little, so they let it loose a little more.  Like one of the other drivers said earlier in the season, we have no idea how fast the Red Bull actually is.

Once it was dry and DRS was enabled it was always going to be a massacre with the long lap here. The RB suits this track perfectly.

I think McLaren was counting on a wet Q3.

Max damn near didn't make Q3 too. That car/driver pairing is fuckin OP.

Max squeaks into Q3, finishing 10th. He needs a great final session as he has a 5 spot penalty for gear box change. 

How many laps for him to go from 5th to 1st? The line is 5 laps. I'll take the under.

Joke's on you.  Max starts 6th.  He'll NEVER make it to the front!

oh, in that case...I'll still take the under. 

Yuki and and Danny were tearing it up but Danny kinda ruined that. Piastri is looking really nice lately. I think McLaren has damn good combo on their hands.

Yep. A story as old as F1.  When you have the car advantage, you only go as fast as you need to go.

I'm not sure I buy that with Checo's struggles. He passes the midfield easy enough when he starts from the back, but he's not routinely catching the frontrunners. His livelihood depends on getting podiums, and he's missed 5 of 11 of them. If there was more in the car, he would use it. The Red Bull is obviously the fastest car, but I don't think it's by a landslide (maybe just a decent mudslide). I just think Max is really, really fucking good.

Yeah I was referring to Max, not Checo. Checo is doing all he can do imho. I think he's just not able to get out of the car what Max is able to get out of the car, and knows it, so he overdrives, leading to mistakes. I've heard/read from multiple drivers that one of the most difficult things about F1 compared to other series is actually getting your head around the incredible capabilities of a top car and training your brain to actually push even harder on the car when you think there's just no way it can do what you're asking of it. Apparently step 1 is just getting your brain to accept that the car will do it without killing you, and step 2 is making that happen in a clean way for a good lap time. I've seen enough of both of these guys to have zero problem accepting that Max could be almost a second quicker than Checo on a drying, quickly-improving track.  That also applies to some other driver combos out there.

I’d love to see what LeClerc could do in the Red Bull on a fast lap.  The man knows how to do a fast lap at the edge. 

Max is much better at extending tire life than Checo.  I think that’s why he always runs out of steam when he’s moving up the field.

What was the stat from last year where max led for 40+ laps and the delta per lap was less than half a second per? There was a graphic of it. Point is, he’s a fucking consistency machine which certainly helps preserve your rubber.

Dumb question amnesty. I’ve never been to a race. How do the pits work when there are multiple classifications racing on the same weekend. For example, today there is a F2 sprint race sandwiched between F1 sprint qualifying  and sprint race. Do the F1 teams have to totally clear out the pit area then bring everything back?  Are there multiple pit areas?

Man, Lewis had a chance at sprint pole but George was all out of sorts and essentially ruined that. What y’all doing, Mercedes?

What kinda fuckery?

Why is he on his 5th gearbox? Usually you replace it after a crash. There is something super fishy. This isn’t a video game. He is going to lap more than half the field.

They’ve had issues with the gearbox all year.  It’s the main thing he’s complained about.

Wasn't this their primary issue even last year? I feel like Max complained about how it shifted even during his battle with Lewis two years ago. Everything seems to be top notch on that car except the gearbox.

i wanted to be adrian newey in high school.  should have stuck with aerospace engineering.

 

 

 

there's no way you can run spa this wet.  raidillon is dangerous enough in the dry. 

It’s really not worth it for a sprint race.

F1 uses the main pits.  at a place like spa where there's a lot more pits on the other side i imagine the jr. formulas are in those.  in other places like COTA F1 is in the main pit building and the other classes have a tent city elsewhere. 

When are they going to run the Sprint? YTTV is confused.

They think the rain will stop in a few minutes and then they’ll wait 10 minutes or so to start.  Supposed to be an hour gap with no rain.

35 after

4 laps behind the safety car while the wets dry the track and then 12 laps racing with a rolling start

What kind of tip do you have to leave if you drop a fork and it stabs a waiter?

Cam e back out in second. I think it was the right call because it avoided the mess. Now he is under two seconds behind Piastri

the cars coming out of the spray at the end of kemmel is a great camera shot

Damn. He's okay... just hope the car can be sorted.

Doesn’t look like there’s any damage.

Still a chance for some Stroll Magic.

So that is damage from Hamilton.

Edit: 5 seconds penalty for Hamilton
