In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Max with a spanking new engine, this track is pretty good to overtake on, he should be well up in the points.
The F3 race scheduled for today has now been cancelled.
Saturday's F1 Qualifying and the F2 Sprint race are still scheduled to go ahead as planned.

Max will win the race if its wet and carnage.
the race is set to be dry, even in the wet with carnage v difficult to win from the back.
Is there any point Verstappen using tyres and qualifying today if he's got his penalty?
Hope it's a wet race tomorrow! The fans look frozen

Russian GP Qualifying
Q1 starts on time
The race is set to be dry.
track looks very greasy,
Max has been out but is back in, doubt he will be out again, why risk it in these condition when the race is meant to be dry.

I wonder if anybody will chance slicks, if they do and get them working, pole is waiting.
somebody has to try slicks
Russell is the first on on slicks
Hamilton hits the wall in the pit lane!
Another huge unforced error from Hamilton.
pretty damp pit lane, but still an error.
Norris takes pole
I'm just going to say it, I reckon age is finally creeping up on Hamilton.
Calamity for Mercedes on practically their home track with an open goal for a 1-2 
well that was not expected.
Merc front row was nailed on for me.
Well Done Lando

Yes Russell and Norris!
Just hope those yellows weren't out when Russell did his fast time or it may be deleted
Was expecting Mercedes lock out, love when we get a shock/ mixed up grid

What the hell was Perez doing out there? Didn't see him anywhere on the coverage, what an opportunity missed for him.
Bad mistake from Hamilton, but the way the track just evolved on the last lap. I think the gods are smiling in Verstappan.
a couple of seasons ago Lewis would have gone on slicks a couple of lap earlier and not hit the pit wall.
Maybe something in it, the younger drivers took the risk on slicks early.
Mercedes pitwall again was sleeping, they had pole covered on inters anyway so why didn’t they go for slicks immediately?
Hamilton has hit the wall twice in 2 laps, he’s not absent of blame for it.

Deffo mistake from Hamo. I think the pressure of trying to land title no8 is getting to him. Tbf this might be his last chance to land it as no one knows the pecking order for next season or two.
2nd row of grid isnt too bad, Russell will get out of the way and Sainz should be passable. Lando will be tough.

Brilliant from Lando, great to see him on pole, with his ability he should be there a lot in the future.
A Norris fan who's only post when he gets on pole is to trash talk about Hamilton? I detect a porkie pie!
Rent free? Like you bothering to post about Hamilton but not the guy you proclaim to support getting his first Pole?
It's bizarre that you can't admit to being a Verstappen fan, as if it makes your hilarious bias less biased.
It's sad that a word on a forum gets to you this much.
I'm delighted for Norris. I also want Verstappen to beat Hamilton to the title because he's been by far the better driver so far this season. They're not mutually exclusive.
If Norris can lead out of Lap 1 he can win this if McLaren play it right. Mercedes will be quick but they overthink every move.
Wouldn't rule out Max at all, one well timed SC and he's in the game.

Haha its sad that you're clearly lying about who you're a fan of, would be better to just admit it.
You posted about Hamilton within a minute of him hitting the wall, yet within half an hour of Norris getting his first pole nothing, and it took until the second prompting for you to even mention it.
Just be honest dude, we all know who you support, you make it painfully obvious, stop trying to hide it.
Rent free like I said.
Giving you some slack, I guess when you have that sort of mindset you automatically assume everyone else must be the same, especially when their opinions diverge with yours.
But bore off now, it isn't even raceday and you've already tried to instigate fanboy wars.
Who gives a shit, can you guys please just cut it out?! Both of you.
very good point and the Merc in dirty air is ordinary.
I see Lewis getting in to second pretty quickly, but Norris maybe harder to pass.
Max with a new engine will cut though the field and will end up high in the points.
Sick of the petty bickering in this thread, its worse than kids in the school playground, can we just cut it out !!
Is the f1 thread safe to go into yet?
