Now we know what those sandbags were for.
 
Grosjean is alone on track and they don't even bother showing his lap. 🤬
 
Ferrari has a very good quali mode. Max' car has/had some software issue (power mode).
Race in about 2:30 hours. I'm going to take a power nap on the couch next to the dog

Albon and Max has exactly the same lap time! :lol:

I reckon that just sealed Albon in as the 2020 driver. It’s hit first time ever(?) at Suzuka and now that he’s starting to find his feet in the team, he’s closing in on max. Curious to hear if the issues max had in q2 followed him to q3, but that doesn’t change the fact that I’m happy for Alex. The kid is talented
 
Max is not in good shape right now. And Red Bull getting grid position penalties race in race out doesn't help.
Albon is another young gun, on fire. Delivered an awesome lap time in Q3. Now let's see how he races, how he stays out of trouble and how much of a fight will he bring to Verstappen.
We will have a great race tonight.
 
I find it weird how Gasly is easily beating Kyvat where as Albon if anything was getting slightly beaten by him, but Albon is performing much better in the Redbull.

Something about the Redbull must not suit Gasly's driving style because outside of that one stint he looks the more talented driver.
 
Lightning start by Bottas

That was Leclerc's fault definitely
 
Hamilton has damage too. Watch the elephant ear on his nose
 
Ferrari's start was not the best. Vettel slow start and LeClerc slided to the outside.
 
Hamilton lost his right mirror when hitting Leclercs endplate
 
That was a bad move by Albon. He deserves a penalty for that.
 
Norris and Albon having a near identical Prost/Senna incident, but that was Albons fault, Norris had the corner and unlike Prost didn't actually turn early.
 
Leave it to Horner to give totally unbiased views :lol:
 
The Renaults are flying! Already in P8/10
 
Sainz is on TV, enjoy it while it lasts.
 
Vettel had a false start apparently
 
Something About Suzuka brings out the worst in F1 Drivers sometimes.
 
Ten laps in and they're still waffling about all the race start incidents.

Vundabarr.
 
Yeah, Vettel jumped forwards, stopped and carried on once the lights went out, which is how Bottas jumped him
 
Ferrari shooting themselves on their foot again.
 
Max' car has some serious issues after LeClerc drove into him. 1.2-1.5 seconds per lap slower.
