We will absolutely regret it. At this stage of the championship, especially the ones fighting for the title will not be very keen on taking huge risks and make dangerous overtaking manouveres (basically any manouver in this case), so we'll just see a massive snooze festival. The race will be decided on the quali session and _maybe_ on the start of the race. And then that's it.

Yuki rode like a veteran literally. What a lap. A rookie P8 on a hard tire on such a difficult track and that was 1st part of the FP2. If anyone tells me this guy doesn't have a huge ability to be great driver, he's completely blind. The only thing that is not there are kilometers and experience (also luck last time). He literally came to Europe in 2019 with 30 F4 races in Japan and 45 kilos of weight, without English. Look what he is doing, how he is improving in terms of speed. He will shine next year, I keep my fingers crossed. Such a great, charismatic guy

I dont really want to hate on yuki but like, he is still not consistent with his speed. Sometimes he gets great results like this and sometimes he is no different than mazepin. 1 lap of FP2 doesnt fully shows his skills and "greatness"

[@fabiosaballos]

I don't know how great and charismatic could be when you hear the team radios and he is constantly yelling to his engineer, sometimes being disrespectful.

First of all. It's "they are" because women and aliens are people too. And Yuki is overrated. Maybe he can prove me wrong next year. But rookies that showed potential were. Max, Lewis, Leclerc, Lando, and Russell. And we already know the kind of results they have put in.

[@ts1025]

I said it when I first saw the layout of this track and I will say it again. F1 has great safety standards. But we all know that things can go wrong, they could on every track. But this is just massively increasing the chances of big accidents. Thankfully Charles was okay, but it won't be the last one. Just imagine coming down there with 300+ kph and someone had a crash before you. I just don't want another accident like from Antoine Hubert where someone gets T-Boned again...

[@ab8jeh]

@frosty snow Spa and Monaco are known risks, it doesn't mean we should be making new tracks like this with so many blind corners. There are plans to rework Raidillon anyway. There are no excuses for a new track, especially as this is a 'made up' street track.

[@wallymcguire2033]

Yea, if someone hits the wall in a high speed section in the early laps when the cars are close together it’s going to get bad fast. If they bounce back into the track where visibility is limited, lives will be decided by who has the quickest reflexes. In 2021, it seems silly to be racing on brand new tracks with this risk level. We have all the room in the world to build tracks with proper visibility and run-off so why take the risk? I hope everything goes well this weekend but I can’t see the race happening without at least one or two major incidents.

[@ab8jeh]

@frosty snow Montreal really doesn't have blind corners like this, maybe turns 6 or 7 but there are more generous run-off areas in there. It's also high risk, but in terms of probabilities nothing tops this track. I do get your point, but no this is over the line in my opinion. But ok, it's just an opinion. I'm not the one driving the car out there.

Those racing 🏁 🏎 looks so freaking cool on that track with the night 🌙 lights

[@hellomateo]

this track is dangerous. I don't know why we are racing here

If saudi wants you to race, you race. You don't question Saudi.

To add some spice. Also money. But spice too. Spice must flow.

[@NageshKandel]

@@TheLaXandro Ok, Frank Herbert!

[@HungryTacoBoy]

@@NageshKandel It's bad that I thought of Dune as soon as I read, "To add some spice." Then I read your comment. Lol.

[@mrrodriguezHLP]

I'm nervous for this one. The safety car might need a second set of tires before the checkered is waved.

[@michaelpurvis1492]

Amazing under the lights ❤🏁👌👍

[@firelynx1108]

This race is gonna be epic! Or horrifying... idk looks like it will be a close race, but I don't think they're gonna make it 50 laps

[@alwayswong]

Exciting! So looking forward to the rest of the weekend. Understand the apprehensions, however, these are the ultimate professional drivers who will exhibit their skills at driving fast and staying safe. There are dangers on every task, this one is no different. Let's just pray and hope nothing untoward happens and we have a grand racing weekend as we do every race week.

[@DRIVECLUBistimelessPS4]

This track is just one big chicane, i love this

[@joaopinto4535]

That Castrol Alpine livery is simply beautiful!

[@SCOOGRR]

Glasly showing up!!! Would love to see him on podium

[@steffighter144]

Here comes Gas1y.

[@improcrastinating8063]

Note to the editors: less is more when it comes to the sound track volume.

[@ElTurbinado]

hmm it sounded ok to me maybe your mids are low? try turning your bass up a tiny bit?

[@quicksilver3287]

Literally anybody slides: F1 Commentator: *He was showing off his rally skills*

[@crx741]

Nice to see the track that narrow. Thats why is looks so fast onboard

[@Aaron-ed5xs]

The entire track being lined by barriers on both sides reminds me of the Valencia track F1 went to for like...4 years then abandoned

[@thriftshopper23]

This track is incredibly unsafe and the FIA should be ashamed for letting them race there.

[@FlyingEriksen]

I think they will be more safer on track than outside the track... You are more likely to get killed for sharing a different opinion in Saudi Arabia than driving 300+kph in tight benz.

[@thriftshopper23]

@@FlyingEriksen You're not exactly wrong

[@siraja6788]

Monaco has the same level of danger though

[@madiis18account]

@@siraja6788 Monaco is a significantly slower track, and was also originally created in 1929.

[@danbruno5945]

Same danger as when hulbert died at Spa

[@larrychamel]

Wonderful Tribute to the late Sir Frank Williams by George Russell. ❤🙏❤

[@adventurouseddie6207]

Its the learning curve at this track for all the drivers as its a first time anyone has raced here !! Mistakes and accidents are bound to happen because of that.

[@apophisstr6719]

Red Bull: "That's it boys, time to pack up and go home, it was fun while it lasted."

[@440hp5]

Its gonna be one heck of a race on Sunday

[@NachoDLF]

Not really. Red Bull won't change anything in the car, Hamilton will reign with his newer power unit. Same as previous race sadly. As a RB fun I want them to win, but them thinking they can just stall... they deserve the mechanical undercut from Merc.

[@Ameera.Ahmad.2020]

I am from jeddah , I like it so much ❤❤❤

[@thetravelfy3264]

This is gonna be an exciting race can’t wait👍.Fingers crossed no major accidents to anyone.

[@eggheadsanonymous9634]

How many safety cars are we expecting on Sunday?

[@NowChess15]

Hopefully we won't have to see too many massive crashes...

[@phoenix1279]

I fear we will

[@jstewlly4747]

That Alpines will be a force next season

[@Dacommenta]

Mazespin whips out his signature move ♻️

I feel so sorry for Charles, he's been so unlucky and I can't even begin to imagine the pressure he is under. He deserves a win!

[@luisdelagarza3350]

He doesn’t like street circuits/ walls

[@ImBarryScottCSS]

🤣 how is that anything to do with luck, he tried to carry too much speed and ran out of talent.

[@viditjain2653]

This track is making me nervous, we gonna see some crazy moments Sunday!

[@CUL8TR]

Leclerc's onboard camera doesn't do his crash justice. It looked monumental from the other angle imo.

[@S_G_1_9]

Everyone though this track would be really boring but it looks like it might make for a very exciting race on Sunday.

[@peteramadio1854]

I can’t get over how cool the cars look on the new track, the track is new, so the fresh look is 👌

[@nekaneka-lo2js]

I love the lime green bits around it

[@ovojdabanks210]

Less than a second between the top 12 is crazy

[@mr.be.5630]

Crazy having a new track at this time of the season....But fun
