Yeah it looks really bad, if it's bad on proper tracks too then Merc is really screwed.

Gonna' be an embarrassing race for the Silver Star crowd this weekend by the looks of things. My guess is Hamilton might have to retire early or break the car 'accidentally'....

As a Ham fan I've conceded that's Merc is in a bear market lol 😂 it's ok it's all cyclical and hope that Ham at least has a chance to fight for one last championship before he retires. If not it's been a good run, I can't complain.

Charles is blinding fast in practice, but the RB race pace is similar to what Merc has had for that past 7-8 years. Once they are in front they are gone and nearly out of reach. I have to hand it to Newey on this car it's freaking fast. That being said can they stop importing DRS wings from China, I know the cost cap is tight but come on lol.

And before qualy let's hope Charles doesn't crash.

Yeah it looks like the Mercs operating window is tiny and only good on ideal tracks.


RB looks solid like always, Ferrari looks unstable but fast as hell even on the hard compound tires.


Not sure why redbull can't fix the drs...

Looks like a continuing trend of the season. Ferrari is quick around the slow bits but are losing on the long straights. Once they get passed they then don’t have the top speed to repast, even with DRS. Gotta solve the top speed deficit.

I watched F2 qualify yesterday and there was a lot of interruptions/Yellow flags, so i'd be surprised today if F1 Qualy is not interrupted few times (hopefully nobody get crashed).

Maybe it's the best tactics to go 1 fast lap at start to have it "in the bag" before mess/rush hour begins .

Mercs are still over a second off the pace at the end of FP3.

So we had almost 10 cars on flying laps within cars lengths of each other and instead of showing that action we saw Lewis the whole time

Nice Q3 session.
What a lap from LEC.

The difference between RB/Ferrari and the rest is....huge.

Interesting to see both Alphatauri's in the top10. I hope they'll get a similar racing result.
They've been looking good all weekend.
