[@hl8216]

[@skye2271]

such a shame he went wide on his first lap! he would've been p6 with the time he set, ahead of bottas!

[@lc9245]

Oh, so people getting annoyed that an inexperienced driver taking up a spot that could have been given to a more experienced, mature with decent pace driver as well is wrong? You guys are being fanboys right now. While I think Tsunoda is much faster than Gasly, he had shown impatience many times that caused him in the race or qualifying. Maldonado was very fast as well, but then do people remember his pace or his reckless driving? I hope Tsunoda gets better, and I think he will, but dismissing legitimate criticism is pretty ridiculous. Also, don’t forget that Max, Vettel, Hamilton and many others hit the ground running. That’s the expectation placed upon a rapidly promoted driver. If you can jump formulas like that, you are expected to be a superstar in the making.

[@mordor1779]

Unfortunately I fear that it might be over for Max because of that lockup that ruined his medium tyres, he starts on soft which means 2 pitstops which mean losing 25 seconds at the minimum on Hamilton... I swear if he loses the championship because of a little lockup that ruined his only set of medium in q2 I honestly can't believe it, between this and the amount of unlucky races in the first half of the season, he should be 60 points ahead by now it's almost sad, he deserves to be champion

@@mordor1779 nah mate relax, remember a 2 stopper can be more beneficial than a 1 stopper. Look back at hungary 2019, france 2021. You can close a gap of 25 seconds in 15-20 laps with fresh tyres. He is at an advantage at the start and he is faster on race pace (data confirms this). So he can pull a gap on him during his first stint and because he is on a 2 stop he can basically push all the time. If he drives cleanly and passionately as we know him, he will take this home for us.

If Lando and Perez go ahead of Hamilton it’s game over. It will be exciting seeing two different strategies.

[@BennyBoy_Alpha]

Oh yeah definitely - doesn’t help that Hamilton is starting on a slower tyre.

[@matti_re]

the thing that worries me is that max doesn't have access to fresh mediums, only the one with the flat spot from Q2. so he might have to go for the hards and that means lewis will be able to attack on softs.

[@allena3430]

@@matti_re Difficult track to overtake. With perez right behind Max and on soft tyres. He might hold Hamilton long enough for Max's hards to defend to the end. Norris might be a hazard especially when he wants mclaren to fight for 3rd in constructors

[@BrandonBicasso]

@@allena3430 Everyone says “hard to overtake” without actually seeing the race. This is a new track given the changes. The same thing was said about Jeddah. We won’t know until the race tomorrow. Chill.

[@furstfr]

[@DaniMacYo]

The “perfect” lap by Max. He did it at Jeddah too but sec 3 was bust. But he finally did this weekend. Even without Perez he was already up by 4ish tenths. The tow allowed him to just maintain the gap rather than loose time. Even his last lap was still fast enough for pole. That Redbull was definitely amazing to watch in Qualifying 3. But… it’s the race I’m worried about Mercedes and Hamilton are very quick in the race so as someone who’s wanting Max to win fingers crossed. I do also hope Lando doesn’t interfere with Max and Ham. I’m sure he won’t but he doesn’t have anything to loose. But I doubt he’s got the race pace in the McLaren to keep up. Anyways tomorrow should be an interesting race.

[@panchajanyadas7549]

Lando's a bit of a Hamilton fan and has been vocal about it. He won't sabotage but he'll definitely try to help Hamilton in any way he can.

[@karthikmalayil]

I felt max & RB deliberately tried to flat spot that tyre they need that soft tyre for the race,it was their plan.But mercedes didn't respond & didn't sent lewis for pole. I felt lewis & mb wanted 2nd. Its better that lewis start 2nd.Bcz if he have started with medium in pole ; Max with soft will surely get better start & dive bomb in first corner causing damage or push lewis out of track/ may get contact with other driver thus comprising lewis race. As it will play out lewis will push to max, max degrading his tyre .as we have seem earlier lando knows to look after that tyres well & may push Maximum with that soft causing max some time when he comes back after the pitstop.
