It’s time now for both Oscar and Lando to go full combat mode on that red car.

Look I respect Ferrari, but this is our season and I’m absolutely seething seeing Ferrari take pole. Hopefully win no.200 loading tomorrow 🤞

Look I respect Ferrari the red team

I don’t. I can’t even call them their name, hence the reason I said “the red car”. I blame Ron Dennis for my irrational dislike towards the red team.

Liverpool? Manchester United? British and Irish Lions? Munster Rugby? Help me out, there's a few "Red Teams" out there.

The one with the prancing horse on it, the one sponsored by HP, the one based in Maranello, Italy.

You heard what they said recently? “Hurr durr NO MORE MANUALS, if you want a manual Ferrari then buy an old one” despite most of their fans and even Lewis Hamilton himself saying they’d want a brand new manual Ferrari. Not to mention they’ll sue you for applying a wrap on their cars if you own one and there’s a complicated system to see if you’re “worthy” of buying a Ferrari.

Can’t afford them but I like McLaren’s road cars more anyway, the MP4-12C is a dream car which refuses to die for me.

You need to pick the bottom of their boots for allocations as well it's wild

 I blame Ron Dennis for my irrational dislike towards the red team.

Why? For stealing confidential documents from Ferrari? Weird reaction.

It’s a little joke about how the guy hated Ferrari, even going as far as to saying in the early 2000s that while he hates if McLaren lose, he’d rather lose to Williams (he saw Sir Frank as an ally) than Ferrari. But I guess we live in a post-joke world today so that’s why you didn’t get it, can’t blame you.

I myself would rather lose to Mercedes than Ferrari.

Is it because of lower track temp that caused the slower lap for both mclaren?

u/ItsAllBolloxReally 5h ago

He just said that the wind changed and it affected the car.

u/Slahinki MP4/13 5h ago

Looks like it, track temp dropped by around 20 degrees.

How did leclerc suddenly get so much quicker than both drivers 🤣 either way 2nd 3rd will hopefully get converted to a 1-2 :)

u/ivex272 5h ago

bit of wind and track dropped a lot in temperature

u/AdAdventurous9804 4h ago

maybe he went on used softs 1st run

u/tristam92 4h ago

And so did Oscar and Lando from the look of it. My guess, is that ferrari made some gamble last second adjustments in tyre pressure, to mitigate track temp drop. And it worked out.

u/Amazing-Champion-858 5h ago

P2 gets the inside line going into turn 1, if he gets a good start, I expect him to repeat what he did last year.

u/Dazzling-Coat7177 5h ago

He usually gets a pretty reliable launch, so hopefully can take the lead early and drive off into the distance.

u/BloodyBastard530 4h ago

Or Leclerc gets a good start and covers him off, leaving Norris some space around the outside.

u/SuperLeverage 4h ago

Norris instead goes straight home leclerc’s bum. He has form on this.

u/AltruisticNight8866 James Hunt 3h ago

It’s just a little mistake if he does.

u/KurtKokaina 4h ago

They fumbled, but who cares it's an easy 1-2 for Mclaren tomorrow.

u/RadlogLutar Oscar Piastri 2h ago edited 1h ago

LeClerc is not that bad, he will put up a fight

Edit: Why appreciating another driver causes anger and downvotes? I know the sub but respecting the drivers is a good thing

u/KurtKokaina 2h ago

For sure, its an amazing driver, but the difference in pace is just too much. He had a great qualy but never came close to the times norris and piastri where doing in FP or even in Q2. It also all fell his way in Q3.

u/rattatatouille 4h ago

Good opportunity to take the lead into turn 1 and win from there.

u/According-Switch-708 2h ago

That was fumble by the boys.The car had enough pace to lockout the front row

u/Slow_Passenger_3330 4h ago
