2024 Qatar Grand Prix - Lusail, Nov 29 - Dec 01

[Bracken]

Bono telling Lewis his long run is looking competitive yet he's putting in laps 1.5 secs slower than Russell. Either they are running different plans or he's lying through his teeth. Lol

[Sevach]

Ferrari looking strong.
Mclaren woke up finally.

[CjC]

Ferrari look very strong and they are on hards to others on the mediums...

The hard will be the chosen race tyre surely?

Mclaren woke up finally.

Mclaren, maybe? Their drivers have has a lot of off-track moments. They need to settle that car. I would have to think both drivers have floor damage from the gravel excursions.

[venkyhere]

Ferrari is using the new floor and are damn fast. Looks like it's giving them 1s advantage in race pace over McLaren. SF-24 is on rails, even in T15 where everyone is going off. Of course its FP but I don't see any evidence of engine-mode sandbagging from anyone. Redbull is nowhere. Mercedes, I don't want to even try inferring anything, don't know how to read that car's behavior

Merc are just slow as hell, Toto said their 1 sec off the pace and have to analyse why before quali.

Merc (slow), Mclaren (drivers couldn't stay on track), Red Bull (slow) are nowhere. Ferrari looks like a rocketship on the track where they said they didn't expect higher than P5

It's been an impressive Friday for expectations...

yea its the complete opposite of what was expected

[organic]

divebombs back on the menu. Seems drivers don't mind the verstappen style of overtake, so long as you can "keep it on track"

[Watto]

Perez again out in SQ1,

Not sure it was a surprise after FP1 but think its all but good bye to him at RBR you would think.

[PinkFloydPulse]

Bruh, Perez out again... how is that guy still there, what do him and his dad have on Red Bull? XD XD XD

[matt_b]

Perez easily the worst driver of the season yet keeps his championship winning seat for next year is madness, but then again his job is to stay out of Max's way and not be a George Russell.

[Luscion]

are Russell and Lewis driving the same car? jeez, 7 tenths difference

When I read stuff like this I realize drivers aren't paid to be smart.

This is embarrassing for Lewis, how on earth can't he figure out how to qualify?!?
