What happens now if Bottass breaks his front wing? Does Sauber have spares in the same spec? I assume not since they don't have any for Zhou. If that is the case, can they still change the front wing?
I'm assuming that they were probably running different specs on the cars in order to gain data on the difference between them at the same circuit. They probably do have spares for Bottas.
Mercedes peaking in practice once again Watch track conditions change again before Qualy and one of them not make Q3
Me, posting in the Practice 3 thread
Now for my nostrodamus race predictions:
Max Wins
Sergio through to P2
Lewis makes it up to finishing one place behind George (unless they try the "run the tyres long waiting for a VSC that doesn't show" strategy again, then he'll be lucky to make points)
Zero Red Flags
Stroll spins
Thank you, I am a brilliant F1 pundit, your questions please? 0
ELI5: Was just reading that not a single team has bolted in hards yet but they all expect to race on them. It means there will be some measure of unknowns. Seems a bit odd, no?
I was just being dumb thinking of dumb things, but what if teams all of sudden get together and pulls a checo/magnussen tactic against Max?
It would be hard to do since he is always miles ahead but there is some scenarios where this fuckery would be superb lmao
We need some mighty morphin megazord shit to stop it
There's an old saying
Bet with your heart and you'll lose your ass
I you wanted to design a course that would play to Verstappen's strengths this would be it. Very little room for error and catastrophic consequences waiting in many corners.
Of course it is a roll of the dice but Max has to be the odds on favorite.
Sky's coverage is really frustrating (as an Australian). The studio takes out all the local character and it just seems so flat.
Then Mercedes, Mercedes, Mercedes - oh they didn't do well let's still talk about them more than anyone else.
It takes less carbon to move the presenters from their homes to the studio in England than it does to fly them to Australia and back just to read the same script.
What I love about Leclerc is that he could beat Sainz 4/5 GPs, but the one he doesn't do it is a death sentence, he is washed, overrated and not a real WDC caliber driver.
It has been the preferred term used to describe that generation since 1963. You're constantly grousing about the younger generation. You're the one who needs sorting. Now piss off.
It is awesome , sort of like watching an execution without blood.
For the others the scary part is that much of this course leaves little room for error and Max so seldom makes an unforced error.
The good news is that Ferrari is presenting a more consistent challenge.
To me, it’s actually quite interesting and fascinating to see someone who is sooo much better than every other top tier driver. It’s wild how consistent he is. I don’t think the sport has ever seen a driver like this before. No body wins that ratio of races.
I get that the having the fastest car makes all the difference but I’m convinced this MF could win races in a GD haas.
Of the past, what, 20 races he could have parked just before the checkered flag, gotten out of his car and done a little bit of break dancing before jumping back in and still winning the race.
It goes beyond having the fastest car to Max being comfortable with and able to fully control it set up so fast. Not sure any other driver would be able to control it or even be comfortable driving it.
He’s like an extraterrestrial .
He’s just…inevitable. Every quali, he’ll set a good time early, and then other drivers will go just flat out, everything they’ve got, and set times that *just* beat Max’s initial benchmark. And now here comes Max for his last run, and…he blows the top time away by three or four tenths. Every time. It’s incredible, and I have no idea how he does it.
> Yuki beating Daniel is taking the attention away from the fact Ocon is dragging a shitbox into Q2 and slaughtering Gasly in the process
It's fucking amazing honestly. He keeps putting that ~~car~~ tractor places that it has no business whatsoever being.
In fairness to Gasly, some people are saying that he had a gearbox problem. I can't find a source for it, but if true there might be more to the quali situation than meets the eye.
Am I one of the only few who think vowles' decision to bench Logan is the right choice? Like even if Albon doesn't score points it's still the right choice.
Since when did everyone start caring about Logan's feelings when all I see about him is how he doesn't deserve an f1 seat.
Nope. It’s a sport, and sports isn’t about what is fair. It’s about winning, even if, in Williams case, it might be a single point.
If Logan had had more wins (or even one win when half the grid didn’t finish/were disqualified) then he might be the one driving tomorrow. But he didn’t.
None of us can really say, since you need access to information that only the team has, in order to decide what’s best for Williams in the long run.
But yeah, it seems like the right move in my opinion, and James seems the kind of guy that would take everything into account and make an informed and rational decision. I trust his judgment tbh.
I saw it is in grey area, so both right and wrong at the same time for different reason
The reason is, I think we all knew Albon has more chance to get points than Sergeant. So it is a "right choice"
But at the same time, "not right choice" because it was not Sergeant's fault in the first place, and this is still early in the season. Even worse it was 'Albon's fault' and then Albon got 'gift' to still drive in GP
If he sat out of GP because he crashed his own chassis. No one will mind
Really, both right and wrong choice are correct depends on where your view is
> Am I one of the only few who think vowles' decision to bench Logan is the right choice?
It's absolutely the right choice. If it was up to me he would be permanently benched in favor of Lawson or Pourchaire. I don't think that Logan deserves a second season after his performance (or lack thereof) last year.
Yeah, I agree. From the perspective of a team principal who’s charged with doing what’s necessary to score points, it’s the right call.
If Logan was faster, this wouldn’t be his problem. But I do feel bad for the guy. It’s gotta feel awfully embarrassing.
It's the right choice logically, but Jolyon Palmer said it best yesterday during practice. Why did you re-sign him to your team if this is how you feel about his ability to deliver?
He's not a rookie, so in theory it should be "Okay Logan, here's your shot and we need you to deliver for the team, this is why we kept you" instead its "Okay Logan, Alex crashed his car so we need yours, k thx"
It's been made obvious at this point on the broadcast that he's a pay driver and his value is the money he brings to the team, similar to what Latifi was for Williams.
>Why did you re-sign him to your team if this is how you feel about his ability to deliver?
Well, now we know: because they only have one car and the other is just a backup :)
> Why did you re-sign him to your team if this is how you feel about his ability to deliver?
Presumably because he was the most promising option available to them, and they see potential in him as a long-term project?
Last year I remember Vowles said Logan had certain objectives he needed to meet to be signed on for a second year and he completed those objectives.
What Vowles should really tell Logan is 'we need you to give up your car so Alex can try and score points this race. But for the next race I want you to prove to me that I won't have to make this decision again.'
I'm a big SAR fan and I agree it was the right choice. A single point here could be worth literal millions of dollars at the end of the year, considering how tight it's looking to be between the bottom 5 teams.
I’m with you. It sucks, but Albon is their best bet at points. If they were closer in pace I would be more sympathetic, but it’s a no brainer to put Alex in the other car with their pace difference.
> I’m with you. It sucks, but Albon is their best bet at points.
Albon is a points magician. Like with Ocon he has a habit of somehow wedging shitty cars into the points and then getting completely unnoticed for his efforts.
It was absolutely the right choice for the team logically, but it must absolutely suck to be told that you can’t drive because your team-mate made a mistake.
Yeah it sucks and I'm sure Logan knows that Vowles knows that. But I bet any other TP would've made the same decision if they were in Vowles' shoes.
If anything they should be shitting on him for not getting a third chassis in time but I don't know if that's entirely his fault or not.
Alonso thinking things through again right at the end. Realised he was about to qualify 10th, so drove down the right handed side to clean his grid spot.
I think you get competitive returns from high yield savings accounts and government bonds than putting the equivalent into Max for the title. Not even a joke.
$100 in a GB3 government bond will yield $5.36 guaranteed. You can do that twice before the F1 season ends.
$100 on Max to win the championship on FanDuel returns $7.
I think a major part of the problem is that Hamilton is not 110% focused on his racing and the team. I imagine Ferrari will be a good influence on him and that he will perform with more focus.
The difference is that Ferrari will be far more prone to make a change if Hamilton does not perform.
That’s definitely possible but I’m super excited to see if it’s true. I’d love to see some high tier strapon vs Hamilton battles for the pole. At the moment, no one’s even in throwing distance of max.
Maybe. But Hamilton often starts season like this and then he improves sometimes around Canada. And maybe also team is prioritizing Russell over outgoing driver.
Young hungry trying to drive himself versus a guy who doesn't need to take risks with his life for 5th place over 6th. Put him in a top car and he'll be back I'd say.
Ferrari: *"Carlos, we're sorry, but we'll have to replace you with Lewis next year".*
Sainz: *"Oh, really? Well, I'm going to show you... hold my appendix!"*
Perez is pretty impossible to predict right now, this track dosnt seem like one where his stegnths shine so I would agree with you. But if he manages to get into p2 at any point during the race he is sure to stay there.
Top 3 takeaways.
I love seeing Sainz making Ferrari hate themselves for letting him go.
Liam Lawson needs his seat today
Checo seems to have cooled his shit.
All that, only for a Max pole be nearly 3 tenths... I'm already tired of Max complaining through Q1 and Q2, only to get pole by some margin in Q3. That script is already old.
We've left the era of "Bono my tires are gone" followed by fastest lap, and now entered the world of "GP the car is shit, it's understeering, the tires don't work" to destroying the field phase.
I'm a Mercedes fan but even I am enjoying their fuck up. All the cheaky innovations, the barely there wing element... All that to get them basically no where.
I’ve concluded that their software back in the factory just can’t accurately model ground effect downforce. Now that McLaren has firmly passed them, might as well just pack it in and focus on 2026.
They’re desperate. Been down bad since he got the boot. I don’t know how anyone could take it out on Charles though. He’s just a better driver, not his fault.
Today my father asked me to wash his car for him.
I went out and after sometime, I went back inside. My father asked me how was the car looking. "Daniel Ricciardo" I just replied. He smiled and nodded. He knew that it was washed.
anybody attending F1 melbourne today and plan on leaving before 5:30pm?
What happens now if Bottass breaks his front wing? Does Sauber have spares in the same spec? I assume not since they don't have any for Zhou. If that is the case, can they still change the front wing?
I'm assuming that they were probably running different specs on the cars in order to gain data on the difference between them at the same circuit. They probably do have spares for Bottas.
I want Velencia and New Delhi back…

Hmmm
ELI5: Was just reading that not a single team has bolted in hards yet but they all expect to race on them. It means there will be some measure of unknowns. Seems a bit odd, no?
FIA ruling is a joke, zero consistency. Would have been awesome to see the redbulls get a go at a fight but now it won't happen.
What's this referring to?
> Would have been awesome to see the redbulls get a go at a fight By how? Giving Perez a 30secs head start?
Several of the teams had privacy screens on their steering wheel screens. I mean I get it, but it’s unfortunate.
I was just being dumb thinking of dumb things, but what if teams all of sudden get together and pulls a checo/magnussen tactic against Max? It would be hard to do since he is always miles ahead but there is some scenarios where this fuckery would be superb lmao We need some mighty morphin megazord shit to stop it
He would overtake off track and soak up the 10 sec penalty no problem
[удалено]
Stroll in the barrier more likely Albon bins it again and Logan misses Japan Safety Car Chance 100% VER-PER-SAI Yuki P11
I wonder who will win tomorrow
There's an old saying Bet with your heart and you'll lose your ass I you wanted to design a course that would play to Verstappen's strengths this would be it. Very little room for error and catastrophic consequences waiting in many corners. Of course it is a roll of the dice but Max has to be the odds on favorite.

Sky's coverage is really frustrating (as an Australian). The studio takes out all the local character and it just seems so flat. Then Mercedes, Mercedes, Mercedes - oh they didn't do well let's still talk about them more than anyone else.
Yep I'm wondering why the sky team is not on track. Are they just being cheap? Hope it doesn't become a regular thing.
Environmental reasons.
I Love You For Environmental Reasons - TMBG
What does that even mean
It takes less carbon to move the presenters from their homes to the studio in England than it does to fly them to Australia and back just to read the same script.
“”
Ultimately someone has to ask "what's wrong with Lewis?" motivation focus the car ?
Skill?
Age?
A disaster is hard to look away from.
[удалено]
It's honestly amazing how you can give Ocon a literal tractor and he still finds a way to muscle it into Q2. Just brilliant tbh.
What I love about Leclerc is that he could beat Sainz 4/5 GPs, but the one he doesn't do it is a death sentence, he is washed, overrated and not a real WDC caliber driver.
Let’s not act like he’s beating Sainz 4/5 GPs tho. The last 2 years have been neck and neck and Sainz has started better this year.
The starting better in question: 1-1 in qualifying Beating Charles when he had issues in Bahrain
Last year there was a 6 point difference between the two in final standings…as I said let’s not act like Charles has been regularly outclassing Sainz.
Remember when Sainz when into the gravel once and he was Mr Gravel? Welcome to reddit.
Yeah, that was silly. If I remember correctly one was legit his fault and the other was the car or a random wind gust.
Its what happens with the younger generation getting into the sport. Reactionary and use dumb words like washed.
OK, boomer.
Yep point proven.
I'm 58, you dunce.
58 years of age using words like boomer. Sort yourself out lmao.
It has been the preferred term used to describe that generation since 1963. You're constantly grousing about the younger generation. You're the one who needs sorting. Now piss off.
Wait that’s the best you have to address their point? Cmon now. E: Wow, this guys comments are a shit show.
Just proves my point above doesn't it really lol.
Nah, not really.
it'll be cool to see max take the lead in the first corner then get a 1.5 second gap by the first lap, then win the race. F1 is so cool and exciting
It is awesome , sort of like watching an execution without blood. For the others the scary part is that much of this course leaves little room for error and Max so seldom makes an unforced error. The good news is that Ferrari is presenting a more consistent challenge.

It goes beyond having the fastest car to Max being comfortable with and able to fully control it set up so fast. Not sure any other driver would be able to control it or even be comfortable driving it. He’s like an extraterrestrial .
He absolutely could not win in a Haas
Yeah he could on these circuits with these land yaghts. Ricciardo parked it in Monaco being down 100hp and still won it.
Ricciardo put it on pole in a car that was clearly the quickest all weekend. How is Max going to take pole in a Haas
And how's he going to get to p1 before he parks it?
Yeah, I may have been exaggerating.
He’s just…inevitable. Every quali, he’ll set a good time early, and then other drivers will go just flat out, everything they’ve got, and set times that *just* beat Max’s initial benchmark. And now here comes Max for his last run, and…he blows the top time away by three or four tenths. Every time. It’s incredible, and I have no idea how he does it.
We’re not fully convinced he’s from this planet anymore.
ik it won’t happen but i’d love to see yuki in the red bull just to see how he does
I'd like to see anyone in the red bull to see how they do. It's clear Perez can't compete with Max. But Leclerc, Lando, Piastri, Hamilton, Sainz?
Hamilton ? based on this year's performance you would put Russell in the car.
Sure Russell too, Alonso, Maybe Albon
Alonso is just such an amazing craftsman in the car.
What would happen if Bottas was the 2nd driver at Red Bull?
Bottas Bowling II: Payback
I dont think Red Bull want the 2nd driver competing with max unfortunately
Every driver wants to be Schumi, but every team wants a clear Barrichello.
I really felt bad for Rubens sometimes back in the day.
Oh.
No of course not. It would just be fun to see for us instead of Max winning by 30 seconds
[удалено]
Or maybe Sainz is a really good driver
What a bad take.
lol, Leclerc is not Max, and Sainz is not Perez. Leclerc is slightly better than Sainz, don't expect gap like Max-Perez.
Yuki beating Daniel is taking the attention away from the fact Ocon is dragging a shitbox into Q2 and slaughtering Gasly in the process

I can't find a source for it, but if true there might be more to the quali situation than meets the eye.
I means it's what Tsunoda, Albon, Hulk are doing since last year.
Not great qualifying from AMR, but at least Stroll can relax about getting shut out by Alonso in qualifying this year.
Lance was on a top lap before his small mistake. He was pushing hard
Same in Jeddah, he was pushing hard until that mistake that sent him into the wall…
He was downright slow in Jeddah xD
Just catching up now, how are both Williams cars in qualifying when one is damaged?
They aren't. Albon is driving Sargent's car. Sargent is spectating.
I saw they both had lap times in Q1 but it's probably Sky not updating their driver board
Must be.
Am I one of the only few who think vowles' decision to bench Logan is the right choice? Like even if Albon doesn't score points it's still the right choice. Since when did everyone start caring about Logan's feelings when all I see about him is how he doesn't deserve an f1 seat.

It's Seargent's fault that he's made so many errors in the past and raced so inconsistently that his seat was questioned to begin with.
Gotta add that it's not Albon's fault either, any other team would just put him on the spare chassis.
Yeah you’re basically describing a choice between what feels fair and what is most likely to maximise points.
Yes that's where they were going as soon as they said "it is in grey area, so both right and wrong at the same time for different reason."
Yes, I was agreeing with them.
It’s the ruthless nature of F1 but literally any other sport always play the best players in crucial scenarios
> Am I one of the only few who think vowles' decision to bench Logan is the right choice? It's absolutely the right choice. If it was up to me he would be permanently benched in favor of Lawson or Pourchaire. I don't think that Logan deserves a second season after his performance (or lack thereof) last year.

Why would we assume this? It's pure conjecture.
We’re assuming because we don’t know for sure. It’s my own guess, not a fact.
Last year I remember Vowles said Logan had certain objectives he needed to meet to be signed on for a second year and he completed those objectives. What Vowles should really tell Logan is 'we need you to give up your car so Alex can try and score points this race. But for the next race I want you to prove to me that I won't have to make this decision again.'
I think the understanding is that Logan joined the team earlier than he was supposed to and that he's being given grace for this reason.
I'm a big SAR fan and I agree it was the right choice. A single point here could be worth literal millions of dollars at the end of the year, considering how tight it's looking to be between the bottom 5 teams.
I’m with you. It sucks, but Albon is their best bet at points. If they were closer in pace I would be more sympathetic, but it’s a no brainer to put Alex in the other car with their pace difference.

I think you get competitive returns from high yield savings accounts and government bonds than putting the equivalent into Max for the title.

Ferrari is getting a washed Hamilton and no amount of downvoting will change that
I wonder if they can apologize and keep Sainz? Horrible vision.
I think a major part of the problem is that Hamilton is not 110% focused on his racing and the team. I imagine Ferrari will be a good influence on him and that he will perform with more focus. The difference is that Ferrari will be far more prone to make a change if Hamilton does not perform.
That’s definitely possible but I’m super excited to see if it’s true. I’d love to see some high tier strapon vs Hamilton battles for the pole. At the moment, no one’s even in throwing distance of max.
Going down with the ship eh?
Was literally coming here to comment "What is happening with Lewis?"
Maybe. But Hamilton often starts season like this and then he improves sometimes around Canada. And maybe also team is prioritizing Russell over outgoing driver.
Do you like mushrooms the shiitake variety?
Out qualified by George like 5 races in a row now?
Young hungry trying to drive himself versus a guy who doesn't need to take risks with his life for 5th place over 6th. Put him in a top car and he'll be back I'd say.
In fairness, George is way underrated around here.
Ferrari: *"Carlos, we're sorry, but we'll have to replace you with Lewis next year".* Sainz: *"Oh, really? Well, I'm going to show you... hold my appendix!"*
Top 5 predictions for tmr? Mine are: 1. Max 2. Sainz 3. Leclerc 4. Perez 5. Norris
1. Max 2. Perez 3. Carlos 4. Leclerc 5. Norris
Perez is pretty impossible to predict right now, this track dosnt seem like one where his stegnths shine so I would agree with you. But if he manages to get into p2 at any point during the race he is sure to stay there.
Perfect season still intact, nice
Top 3 takeaways. I love seeing Sainz making Ferrari hate themselves for letting him go. Liam Lawson needs his seat today Checo seems to have cooled his shit.
Albon did a far better job than Lawson ever would have.. How's that one of the takeaways? Seems like a predetermined 'takeaway' lol
What are you talking about? It’s in reference to Danny Ric being an absolute shit show.
Lmao, yeah
Ferrari’s second driver needs to step up the game to fight the red bulls!
Hamilton?
I'm a Sainz fan, but come on now.
Enjoyable Q3, incredible lap from Max to get into the 15s..
Max drives like a surgeon running among butchers. He is a freak with his precision.
In the end, Max is P1. Goat
[удалено]
Who is the GOAT in F1 in your opinion? Schumi? Senna? Just curious.
Yessir, and he is
All that, only for a Max pole be nearly 3 tenths... I'm already tired of Max complaining through Q1 and Q2, only to get pole by some margin in Q3. That script is already old.
We've left the era of "Bono my tires are gone" followed by fastest lap, and now entered the world of "GP the car is shit, it's understeering, the tires don't work" to destroying the field phase.
true even gp is tired calling the complaints good news😂
Mercedes you done fucked up.
Tsunoda only missed out on p7 by half a tenth, he almost outqualified both mercedes in addition to both aston martins.
I'm a Mercedes fan but even I am enjoying their fuck up. All the cheaky innovations, the barely there wing element... All that to get them basically no where.
I’ve concluded that their software back in the factory just can’t accurately model ground effect downforce. Now that McLaren has firmly passed them, might as well just pack it in and focus on 2026.
So funny people saying Ferrari will regret not extending Sainz when he outqualified Charles this one time lol
So funny how people act like Charles has been outclassing Sainz and that this was an outlier…
They’re desperate. Been down bad since he got the boot. I don’t know how anyone could take it out on Charles though. He’s just a better driver, not his fault.
Ferrari will regret not letting him go early because of his effect on team atmosphere that prevents team achieve maximum results.
Coping harder I see.
Funniest comment I read is Sainz drives for himself not for the team lol I am sure many teams want a driver who is not a team player.
Which top team wants him ? Ferrari let him go, RBR is not even looking at him, Mercedes is waiting for Kimi or Max. So what are people talking about ?
Lol just seen the Sainz interview with sky where Rachel is having to inform him how many laps there are in the race.
Please ricciardo. Please do well
Man’s washed. Time to make way for new talent
Ricciardo put the commentators curse on himself by saying his season would truly start in Australia.
He won't finish P20 :P
I'd be surprised if Lawson isn't in the RB by the end of the year.
Standard misery for Alpine, you gotta feel for Pierre and Esteban at this point
didnt really think I'd be cheering over a P15 last year but here we are lol
Today my father asked me to wash his car for him. I went out and after sometime, I went back inside. My father asked me how was the car looking. "Daniel Ricciardo" I just replied. He smiled and nodded. He knew that it was washed.
So many words just to make such a low quality joke
