Wow,RB is just not fast in Q3. Not even a 1:19 I believe...
Max was way faster in Q2

I think the RB20 still s@cks like in the last 5 races ..

Serge tried to tow MAX but he hit the gravel so MAX only 7th

McLaren...Front Row Lockout! Dominance!

atopa2002 · 08-31-2024, 11:07 AM

Max can put the car on pole , it’s not the car

WTF ...What a mess (!)

Checo blew it alright and left MAX high and dry.

CMW33 · 08-31-2024, 11:09 AM

Oh, good grief, McLaren. I mean, just wow. Just ... wow. That car is working.

toxik · 08-31-2024, 11:11 AM

Don't see how MAX (P7) can reach the Monza podium , just like in the last 5 races the tyre advantage is for McLaren in the race ..
O.7 sec. is a sea of time . Red Bull is completely knocked out and the WCC is already for McLaren .
The Red Bull Team is the 4th team at the grid...
In one word : 'Disaster (!)

Congrats for Lando

Yeah . That's old news . As I said the McLaren MCL38 is a bullet .
And the tyres last forever on this car ..

What more could you wish for ...

With you on that, apart from an errant Skylab falling out the sky onto the two Larens only a miracle can save RB here.

TheBingoBalls · 08-31-2024, 12:42 PM

Assuming nothing catastrophic happens, the McLaren's should win. Monza is more about car and top speed than it is driver.

MAX after the QF :

NO grip . NO balance . Lack of topspeed . NO control ..
So. Nothing new ...

The RB20 5H1T is real... My friend !

Can't really see anything that's been added to the 20's apart from little irrelevant things.

Yeah . It's only bad news for us and all the Red Bull fans ..
As you can see => https://www.reddit.com/r/formuladank...ow_a_midfield/

RUS ran a great QF at P3 , this means that LEW (P6) was beaten again by his teammate ...

///M Power-Belgium · 08-31-2024, 01:23 PM

The deed is done ...

I see the cutaways on the rear top wing of Checo's car. If that's all it was in the biggest upgrade then their only chance to move ahead of Merc and possibly catch Ferrari is in the tyre management where there's a question mark over the Mercs over race distance on the new track surface.

McLaren has been fined 10k euros when Piastri nearly put MAX into the wall in an unsafe release from the pits but unfortunately car 81 still keeps second place on the start grid.

This is Max's race to lose.

AmuroRay

In the QF ...Your 7-time world champ LEW is been beaten again by his teammate RUS ...
