We need to prove our pace on softs. Let's go!
I think it's a mistake in S1.

Ah what the heck man, gutting to see them fall apart on the soft tyre.

So random.

Even Max is perplexed to be on pole!

Lando --- it up when it mattered again ...
I'm always the one who blames Norris. However this way of qualy is a joke. Tomorrow we will be fighting for the pole. I'm sure.

What the --- happened? Why both drivers were a second slower than the mediums? What a dissapointment that was.

It wasn't just Lando. Both him and Oscar were 1 second slower than their medium runs.

You jinxed it.
I didn't jinx anything but I had a feeling Lando was gonna do something in the last run.

He completely botched sector 1
I was keeping quiet given his history of Q3.

Sounds like he didn't get his tyre warmed up, but I didn't see his lap.
Give a man a fire, and he will be warm for a night.
Set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

Not really, Oscar was about the same pace. Lando fuked it up completely.

Softs wouldn't provide huge gains here anyway, because temps are high. Only Ferrari and RedBull can make work of it.

If its what they showed, just looks like it struggled with the tyres. Not sure anything has been shown to be a mistake. Oscar barely improved on softs.

I watched the lap - quickly. It just seems the car is unstable in the first half of the lap, lot of sliding and going wide.

I'm no expert but it didn't look good. Lando was not too talkative on the radio afterwards. I think he feels he made a mistake.
