Both Mercedes aborted their runs. Way off.

I watched him speak in an interview during last GP and thought the same. Can't quite place his accent
He's spent much of his childhood in Italy as I understand it.
I’ve always thought Norris has more of an international English accent. His mother is Belgian iirc.
Lando's mother is Belgian. Not sure about Ollie.

Williams have found something in the middle sector.

Ferrari pace is genuinely frightening, but for different reasons.

Bearman made a lot of progress to get a point.

Does he live in the UK? Doesn't sound like a British accent.

Raised in Chelmsford and schooled at King Edward VI Grammar, Bearman moved to Italy after he joined Ferrari's driver academy,
at the age of 16. His accent, coloured by all the time living away from home, is now noticeably almost unplaceable,
international to the extent that he admits people are surprised when he reveals he is from Essex
The Power of Dreams!

Props to Max. He has a million reasons to not be on it this weekend. Guy is a machine.

I tend to agree with Toto here - no blame on Oscar here at all I think the best drivers over the years have exploited these kinds of rules, just I can see this as one drivers will push to the very limits to the point they barely make the corner themselves and go outside anything they would do any other lap to push an opponent wide - Max in particular I can see in pushing the rules to the limit through the season and I am not sure I like it without the need to give the guy on the outside room


But they are the rules as they stand
Why would any driver do anything else? It's embarrassing that ANY driver ever gets passed on the outside when it's flatout LEGAL to just run the other driver off-track, even if they're ahead of you.

I dont know how much I need to harp on how much this is destroying the racing, but it's the drivers themselves who seem to like this ability to bully others unfairly that's keeping this insistence in. Or another way of saying it - it's the cowardice of the FIA to clamp down and tell the drivers to STOP it, so we can get better, more exciting, and fairer racing.

I'm really getting tired of modern F1. I dont know what I'm actually watching for anymore.

RB21 is fixed. High speed King retained, but much better over curbs. Belter of lap for both laps and McLaren just didn't have any answer in sector 1.
Antonelli loses out by 6 hundredths.
For Sure!!

No one is close to Verstappen’s level at the moment. I felt he would be on pole, but I expected it to be in the thousands again. Incredible stuff =D>

McLaren drivers underachieved again. Way too slow in S1 when there was clearly more time to find for them there. Worst for Oscar though, he is in bigger need than Lando to avoid dirty air so he will likely struggle tomorrow if stuck behind Kimi for too many laps. Will be an interesting race nonetheless.

Franz Tost said Max is worth as much as a $10 million car upgrade, and he probably isn't wrong at this point. His consistency is incredible.

Outside of that, Williams looked great. Vowles is cooking something there. Sainz isn't 100% yet but he and Albon are still putting the car towards the front of the midfield.

I thought Williams said they were sacrificing this year? Their pace in S2 at times was frightening for a sacrificed car :lol:
