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.
The RB's not working , even KMag beat Max early in Q2
Ferrari to get pole.
Ferrari’s did those laps on used tyres right?
max will definately get a penalty for blocking tsunoda
What has happened to RB this race, I cant all be the track, Max is having a mare.
Has the TD caused it ? But this is not the RB we have seen all season.

Crofty going on a lovely monologue about how RB are choking because it's the race they can win the championship 
What an imbecile.
What an imbecile.
I don't mind seeing frustrated Max again for a change. Could make for a fun race. Seems unlike him to impede like that though, so id be curious what his reason might have been.
Perez is out of Q3
Max fails to get in Q3 , that for me is a massive shock.
Oh the irony, a RB rookie knocks Max out.
Lawson and Yuki is a really good driver pairing. They should bin Daniel.
Is he stupid or whatCrofty going on a lovely monologue about how RB are choking because it's the race they can win the championship
What an imbecile.
Out in Q2
So after the biggest shock of Q2 this season, these are the five drivers we've lost:
11) Max Verstappen
12) Pierre Gasly
13) Sergio Perez
14) Alex Albon
15) Yuki Tsunoda

What the hell happened to Haas?
This has to be Technical Directive related. No-one for one circuit, has that much of drop off.
I have the same feeling but you never know
Max not being in Q3 will I think make for an angry Max in the race and we have seen the angry Max before in races and it does not end well.
He really is an idiotCrofty going on a lovely monologue about how RB are choking because it's the race they can win the championship

Bonkers that. Bonkers.
Why is this track particularly bad for Red Bull? It’s not THAT unique of a circuit is it?
Its not, Perez won last season.
It has slow corners and 90 degree corners. The RB is best at med/high speed corners. However the front end isnt biting in, that is so wierd for what has been a sensational race car this season.
It must be TD related. There were rumours the floor needed to be changed as did the front wing, to be compliant. We will know for sure in Suzuka. That is not normal for a Championship winning car. Even at Mercedes peak, there were a few tracks they were weak at, they still made the top six.
So it's probably nothing to do with the floors on the RB. I guess we'll see in Suzuka.
Damn all predictions going down the drain.
One TD change wouldn’t stop a team being so far ahead then be out qualified by their B team. It will be a mixture of things including setup and tyres. The race pace will be interesting. Then we will see at other races but they will fix it by then if it is.
I had Max to win...
Not able to watch as out but shocked he didn't even get out of Q2 what happened?

Sainz is definitely pole here.
Hope so as I picked him...

Cracking lap from Russell
Max and Lewis washed.
Should both retire.
Should both retire.
wow how close were the top 3?
Martin Brundle said it is aerodynamics related. Something has fundamentally changed on the car.
Race should be a cracker tomorrow. McLaren and Mercedes and Alonso all faster than Ferrari on long runs. Max fighting from probably 14th.
Do I sacrifice 2 points to take Max off the podium on superbru.
I say no.
I say no.

So the streak ends tomorrow then
Mercedes have an extra set of medium, mores than the other teams, according to Russell, that could be the advantage needed for a podium even a win ?
Well at least I got pole right. But my race prediction is in tatters with Verstappen, Perez, Piastri and Stroll.
