Well done, Oscar and Lando!
First Mclaren 1-2 in Spanish GP qualifying since 1998. (Hakkinen-Coulthard)

Tremendous from Oscar. Nailed that one. I think Lando knew he was slower and was clearly going all in on his last lap.

Awesome. Shame Max will be leading out of turn 1 though :twisted:
Simply lovely :)))) It will be a very interesting start tomorrow. Here in Spain some say P2 or P3 is better than the pole. We'll see. For the moment nothing change in F1 pecking order. Waiting RB/horner with the new topic. :D

Incredible job... drivers did their thing but the engineering that went into this car... is mind blowing. Hats off

Is it just me, or does the majority of the team always seem unhappy when Piastri does better?

It’s very much like they always want Norris to win.

Incredible lap Oscar, he's really been on it so far this weekend. Big drop in temperatures as previously noted and slight chance of rain still for tomorrow. The drag to turn 1 is going to be all important.

They should make a sponsorship contract with Flex Ltd. and put them on wings... just to rub it in :lol: :lol:

So what went wrong this time for mr. Horner? Was it the weather? Was our wing flexing more than the rest? Was it a secret Mini DRS wing? Was it the water tyres? What's the newest excuse to ask for yet another Technical Directive that as I expected made the opponents of Mclaren slower. I warned that this could happen.

Wonder what the next allegation out of the Red Bull camp will be. Lovely job by the team and drivers again.

It's actually a relief that the mindless RB - driven chatter has been put to bed by this emphatic slap down.

Probably complain that the wheels are too round.

Didn't I predict that a new TD had the possibility of bringing the different result than what people expected? I hate to be right once more. I'm sure Mr. Horner is now looking for his Book of Dirt Magic from some pages before.

"The two tenths loss are in his head, he was overdriving. We see it a lot with Lando, when the pressure is on, the pressure gets to him"

Paraphrasing, but that was Nico Rosberg and Naomi Schiff.
