I’m excited to see the alternative tire allocation again this weekend. I thought it was an overall positive change in Hungary.
Just remove Stroll from this sport…
What is happening with Stroll, I mean this is not a too difficult track and still he is last.
He only ran one practice session and he always sucks at quali if he doesnt get to practice a lot
Which honestly makes perfect sense. Maybe he lacked confidence to take the car to the fullest due to that.
He only had 30 laps practice
Stroll showing why Aston should have no doubts over their decision to retain him.
I’d quite like to see Albon partner Alonso next year

Stroll is 20th mate.

What is this dude doing

He only had 30 laps practice
Nice lap by Albon! Hope he can keep this up in Q2 and Q3.
Stroll always falls off a cliff once he hasn’t had three practice sessions before quali… it’s just painful to see
Stroll sucks so bad it’s unreal
Lawson is doing a great job
What can the race director even do as a punishment against Leclerc and Sainz for being too slow on the cooldown lap? He can’t exactly take away their fastest Q1 times, can he?
Williams shining on this track
What rule did Ferrari break exactly?
Minimum lap time, introduced to stop the unsafe queuing towards the end of the lap

*maximum lap time.

Minimum lap time would be cool, though.

It kind of exists in the 107% rule

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/107%25_rule

107% rule - Wikipedia

Lawson very impressive
I’m convinced Ferrari develops their car every year with the explicit goal of being good at Monza
If they don’t embarrass themselves here they buy a lot of goodwill with their fans, I suppose.
That would be a very on brand thing for them to do
SAINZ ON POLE DAMN!!
That was fun! Nice for Sainz, and Ferrari. Happy tiffosi everywhere.
Come on Sainz race engineer. “we have it” sounded so sad

No further action on the lap time violation by Sainz and Leclerc is typical FIA lol

But nice to see Carlos on pole!

I think that no penalty here is okay. If it was for getting out of Q1 (and without that lap ferrari would have been through as well I believe) i would see a penalty fit. But where there’s no real damage done, I dont see the need for a penalty

But of course it had to be Ferrari doing that shit

So Ferrari breaks the lap time rules and the stewards do nothing?
Fearing for their lives. The Tiffosi would slaughter them

After reading the FIA-document on this, I actually tend to agree to this decision …

It’s almost scary that I just typed this without trying to make a joke…

So happy to see Ferrari on pole in Monza!
