Having half the Sky Sports team operating out of a studio is a ****ing terrible idea

Surely RB are talking to Sainz?

Danny Ricciardo surely must give up his seat to a new and hungrier driver. Watching him today was quite sad.

Is Helmet looking for Liam’s phone number? I’ve got a bad feeling for Danny Ric for him completing the whole season.

Nice lap by Oscar there.

They can try and spin it how they like, its a cost saving measure.

Boring Q2. The 5 teams are clearly quicker than the rest.

 

[Barrybran]

Damn. Nice lap by Yuki.

Mercedes struggling

Nope. Every member of the team hierarchy since he came back last season has said that he is invaluable when it comes to providing info about the setup and any changes needed to be made. Yuki doesn't provide that and it is no coincidence that he has improved since Daniel came in. In a season where nobody outside the top 5 teams is scoring points it doesn't matter as much- especially when the car in the first 2 races has been a shit box.

EAD Lewis.

Russell 3-0 over Hamilton in 2024

Tsunoda into Q3 really making it look worse for Dan.

 

[Acinath]

Lewis can’t get to Ferrari fast enough, that Mercedes hasn’t looked great at all

 

[drd23]

Yuki making Q3 makes ADR not getting out of Q1 all the worse

You're welcome

Sea of orange by the looks

Not a great lap by Oscar there

There you go. Turn 10 but also looking at the difference between him and Lando it is sector one that he really ****ed up.

 

[Acinath]

Charles stuffed up somewhere?

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Norris spanked Oscar in this last qualifying when Oscar’s been quicker most of the weekend. That’s disappointing.

Cracking lap by Sainz two weeks post surgery

 

[gaskin]

So anti-climactic.

Looked like Oscar stuffed the last corner. There was a bit of dust behind him when he went around the last corner.

Wonder how the Sainz contract situation works out. Is he waiting to see if the second Red Bull seat is available? I’d have him the clear best option as a replacement but Perez has started the season well. Does he wait to see if Alonso is leaving Aston? Should Mercedes be trying to beat both to get a deal sorted.

Feels like he’s driving too well to end up at any of the other teams and the best driver off contract ready to perform now, but the longer he leaves it the more chance he leaves himself without a competitive drive.
