Holy shit Yuki. Alpha Tauri looks ridiculously fast. They got a bunch of Red Bull staff for this year because of the cost cuts and last year Horner said that Alpha Tauri would become more of a sister team than a junior team. That certainly looks like the case from what we've seen of them. edit: Otmar Szafnauer just confirmed Vettel hit two yellow flags because of Mazepin but also Carlos Sainz, who had his engine briefly cut out and had to slow down. double edit: and there go the sandbags from Mercedes. | ||

And so it begins for Perez. Brundle: "What is it about second drivers at Red Bull?" Holy moly Ferrari from out of nowhere. Sainz is immediately fast at Ferrari. Very impressive. edit: lol Bottas | ||

Ferrari looking fast. Maybe third or fourth fastest. Them, Alpha Tauri, and McLaren are going to be close. edit: Red Bull saying that Verstappen had about 0.1s worth of floor damage on his car also. So he did all that without a car at 100%. Factoring that in and he'd be up almost half a second on Mercedes and that much or more on Perez. | ||

Yeah he hasn't been in F1 for a few years, but he's been driving prototypes and the Toyotas are pretty damn close to closed cockpit F1 cars. Schumacher was out of F1 for a bit, but IIRC he didn't race anywhere near as much as Alonso in the interim. Well I called it. I hope alpine has a good car and can compete at the sharp end next year. Almost everyone has been hoping for max v Hamilton v alonso for years now. The sandbags were Hella heavy this year. We didn't have much of a picture about any team besides red bull going into q3. Drivers make all the difference this year. | ||

Overall, this could be the closest season since the beginning of the turbo hybrid era. There are also lots of great team pairings and interesting drivers on the grid right now. We've got some legends (HAM, VET, ALO, RAI), some really great established drivers (VER - I know he's still young, but..., PER, RIC, SAI, BOT), amazing younger drivers (LEC, GAS, NOR, RUS), solid midfielders (GIO, STR, OCO), some great rookies (MSC, TSU). Latifi is also there. And there's an idiot in the other Haas. Wasted grid spot. Give me Shwartzman or Illott, please. | ||

That being said, the spin was supposedly BBW issue, and after watching it, I think it was just him braking on the kerb. From his onboard, it should be a rear left lockup, which causes the left side to overtake the right. Going frame by frame there's basically no wheel movement up until he yanks it due to the rear stepping out, and he's lost it well before the turnin mark(~50m). Hamilton and Max both avoid the kerb on their quali laps. If there was time to be found by braking there, they would've done it. | ||

I would be very surprised if that spin was not caused by a technical issue. You'd have to screw up a lot to spin like that. | ||

edit: Mercedes appear to be eating tires in a way Red Bull aren't. Both cars are wearing through hards faster than Verstappen is wearing through mediums. And there goes Bottas' race. Pit problems. Norris into P3. | ||
