F1 2023 Season

Cost cap smth smth

What was that snail pace before the fast lap though?

On hard tyres as well. That can't put them in the best condition for a flying lap. Russell being half a second behind Hamilton just isn't good enough though, he has to start showing a bit more I think.
 
Once the other teams start to catch up with Red Bull the Max hype can finally start to die :)

Don't get ahead of yourself, Max was definitely preserving the tyres this lap. Incoming crushing domination in Q3.
 
Verstappen has had the benefit of saving an extra set of tires going into Q3 in previous qualy sessions, doesnt have that advantage here.
 
Weird interview with Russell, starts by blaming cars overtaking him at the end of his out lap "including Gasly" then changed his mind mid interview and end it's by saying it's not the other cars fault.

No he was always blaming the strategy. He said that drivers are doing what's best for them and that's okay.
 
Get the feck in! That last sector didn't even look great.
 
About time Mercedes showed up… McLaren though they’re up there with the front runners now, might actually get a decent second half to the season if the three of them of battling it out every weekend.
 
Nice to see someone else get pole, happy it’s Lewis, great run from Lando too
 
Saying what? Whats your point

I was quietly questioning people putting Max in the "greatest of all time" talk in this era of dominance. I rate his race craft but in equal machinery he isn't the best qualifier and there are a number of others on his equal over one lap pace.
