At the front row, Checo will need lots of tacos in his fight with Charlie !

The Ferrari SPA floor seems to work ...

I don't think that Ferrari engine has enough power to hold Checo off for long. Especially when DRS kicks in.

is it supposed to rain for GP?

Chances are it won't and probably a dry race warmer than today.

As we know , Checo's fight spirit died a long time ago my friend .

On the other hand :

If the Red Bull Team (for once)! has planned a race strategy with Checo in the front then....

Checo should delay (elbows wide) the backmarkers (P3) and the rest , to give MAX more time to move up to the front .

if his car is that fast it means Max will make 10 passes and win

McLaren: more rain here, more rain there, rain everywhere

Everybody else inc Sky rain radar: no rain

If he really tries he will if MAX has a hard time passing Merc, Laren, Ferrari et al especially HAM.

Max was completely in a class of his own for this qualifying. Jeeze.

or more likely, rain in sector 2 and bone dry everywhere else

I still have Max down for the win. In the lead by half point.

Even with the grid penalty, Max being so much faster during quali is not a good sign on race day for the other teams…

Some of this is due to the Red Bulls running more wing, and some of it is Max Effect. I still think Max will cruise to an easy win but I do wonder how fast the McLarens will be tomorrow in race trim compared to the big wing Red Bull. Either way, barring something odd, the top four spots will be split between McLaren and Red Bull.

I think the situation is doubtful . I'm pretty sure , LEW will make his elbows very wide .

And today in the rain the McLaren setup was the race setup, they ran with less of downforce (wing)
They knew the weather would be fine in the race , this means the McLaren pace will be outstanding again just like in the last 4-5 races .

MAX (the latest) : My target is to reach the podium ..

Tomorrow (race) the situation will be completely different .

The bets are going crazy here . If you put your money on MAX . That's X 50 (!)
And that is extremely tempting...

But I don't dare to bet a single Euro on MAX ...
The McLarens will be just too fast , because they ran the QF today with a race setup and less of wing and downforce for the race ..
