Toro Rosso thoroughly smashed McLaren in qualifying. That’s gonna leave a mark.

Toro Rosso is hailing their upgrade.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

McLaren on the other hand is surprised at how slow they still are

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Hot take, it sucks to see Williams the new backmarker.

Doesn’t hurt as much as Verstappen putting it into the wall. I don’t buy the horsepower surge excuse at all.

Very sad about Williams, really does make me wonder if we’ll see Kubica in the car or if development can turn it around.

Props to Gasly, hell of a performance from an F1 rookie.

I love how Lance straight up blames the car. I’m sure the car isn’t great, but Alonso would not have been last in the Williams.

The gaps that used to be there in F1 aren’t as “there” as they used ot be. RB is still scrapping at the Ferrari vs Mercedes fight, but they need to fend off HAAS who themselves are going to be wary of Renault who also don’t yet know if they can truly fight TR or not and FI/Sauber/Mclaren will take a few races to settle out.

WIlliams needs to develop hard and FAST to get out of this hole. The days of relying on your rivals being chumps is gone.

I can’t tell you how happy I am with Haas. I wish Big John would’ve made it to the next qualifying session but oh well.

Yep, penalties and crashes do make for interesting races. Couldn’t agree more about Raikkonen, he needs to win a race this season!

Yeah and they don’t have drivers that know shit to help. Kubica is all they have during testing.

I pay the bills so I can talk shit! I wonder how long that will be accepted. He said some pretty bad stuff straight up about the team.

I fear for anyone in their way.

I watched the Amazon special on McLaren and the Honda engine was shit. That is not their only problem though they had a hard time getting the chassis together in time as well, all this is unacceptable given their resources.
