Made for quite the spectacle

Too bad RIC didn't make Q3. Just a few 1/100 missing.

He knew it was going to happen and made the car turn on a sixpence for a fast recovery.

* It's not exactly a 'quick rack' steering on these cars as the front wheels seemingly hardly turn when Max puts full lock on to arrest the slide.

Yeah I know . This spin made me think about the 2016 Brazilian GP in the wet .

But this one (a 360)! was even worse . And actually it was a one of the best saves ever in the F1 history !

One thing is for sure , the RB19 runs with a low downforce setup at this track .
But they have to , because Charlie's Ferrari is extremely fast at the straights .
Ferrari came to COTA with a special setup to be more friendly with the tires ..
We'll see that in one hour

In 10 ... !!!

Wondering what Maranello have done to that PU, though the reworked air flow on the rear could be pushing their F car quicker with less kick back on the turns, could be finally effective to match the Mercs and McLaren over a distance.

Actually It's really strange ...
Sainz was extremely fast at Monza and now It's Charlie's turn at COTA ..
It's like they are switching with the FULL Ferrari power . I don't get it !

Formation lap !!!

LEW is on the clean side of the track...

MAX vs LEW ! The good old friends ...

It's Max vs Lew as that Merc is keeping up some.

[///M Power-Belgium]

The inevitable happens as Lew is falling back, nice try Merc but you'll need more than a new floor.
