I hope the Fezza were saving their tires for the race in Q2 or else it very bad news...Merc seem to be quite fast

Bottas is on it again! It’ll be impressive if he can win his third pole position in a row against a driver we all know is a beast in qualifying.

heres to hoping

hammy wont give it to him easy

fucking hell bottas

where were you last year

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
05/11/2019 at 09:55

six tenths off but it was a sloppy lap from Lewis...

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > gin-san - shitpost specialist
05/11/2019 at 09:56

yeah.. hammy will pull off a flyer probably

but... thats pretty damn fast

holy fuck he did it

Six tenths against Hamilton in Barcelona, holy shit.

05/11/2019 at 10:03

bottas 2.0 is a monster

hammy didnt have a flawless lap tho

BeaterGT > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
05/11/2019 at 10:05

They both had the same amount of time to put it together though :)

Easily the worst team principal on the grid.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > BeaterGT
05/11/2019 at 10:09

this is true

bottas nailed it

Claire though...

I think only HAAS and Alfa ran the new spec? And the HAAS boys seem to make it work for quali

Came by to give a tip of the hat to Russel who, after Kubi ca demanded they switch cars, proceeded to smash him and threaten Stroll and Gio. Russel needs a test in either a Mclaren or even the Renault. Would be cool to see where he actually stacks up.

Hahah, I don’t find her that bad! You don’t like her?

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > themanwithsauce - has as many vehicles as job titles
05/11/2019 at 14:45

russels doing good for himself

kubica is failing to impress... much as i would love for him to do well

i think his time has been

BeaterGT > themanwithsauce - has as many vehicles as job titles
05/11/2019 at 14:57

Good spot. I saw Russell put in a stellar lap relatively speaking but didn't know that background. Crazy because he started Q1 with a spin too.

smobgirl > BeaterGT
05/11/2019 at 14:57

There are things in m otorsport she’s really good at but being team principal is not one of them. I don’t dislike her, but she needs to refocus her role and get some help.

BeaterGT > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
05/11/2019 at 14:58

Just watched the highlights and both of Bottas's laps were faster in Q3. That actually makes me worry about his race pace a little.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > BeaterGT
05/11/2019 at 15:01

could be his set up was biased more towards qualy

but ima be optimistic and say if he’s ahead of lewis by lap 6 he can hold it

*farscythe is almost always wrong*

I’m glad. I got so tired of the “KUBICA WOULD DESTROY STROLL” comments last year. Yes, Stroll isn’t the fastest driver. No, Kubica isn’t faster.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > themanwithsauce - has as many vehicles as job titles
05/11/2019 at 15:02

stroll sucks

looks like kubica does too

BeaterGT > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
05/11/2019 at 15:03

The starts are awfully important this year

BeaterGT > smobgirl
05/11/2019 at 15:04

That's a good, fair point. The team principals are definitely an eclectic bunch. I think the Williams documentary skews my perception of Claire as well.

05/11/2019 at 15:05

Stroll needs to hurry up and accept he’ll probably do good in one of the many touring car/GT series. He can be pretty smooth when he needs to be, he just lacks the attack modes needed for F1. Smooth and steady wins endurance races, not sprints. He seems really likeable too. From what I hear the other drivers love to hang out with him. He and Ocon were BFFs last season. Just awkward to see him struggle in an F1 car when there’s probably a nice Aston Martin or 911 he could get into and actually be competitive with the field.

05/11/2019 at 15:09

you may be right... i dont like him much but theres not much he can do about it... i just hate his face

i think that one is on me....

in any event... i dont think he can make it in f1

Looks like I’ll have to give up on Ferrari again this year, so I will put my weight behind Bottas. Nice to see him beating Hammy with some regularity. That battle will likely be where all the interest is this year. McLaren are looking racier, and that’s a good thing. LOL Renault.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > ttyymmnn
05/11/2019 at 15:25

i wonder how long nice hammy will last

im hoping he keeps it up coz i like this hammy

but.... i wouldnt take a bet on it

ttyymmnn > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
05/11/2019 at 15:37

As of Baku, there’s only one point in it. If Bot pulls out a lead, or if Ham DNFs, we might start to get the stressed and whiny Hammy. Which, I must say, can be entertaining at times.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > themanwithsauce - has as many vehicles as job titles
05/11/2019 at 16:39

only ferrari had the new spec

haas and alfa running on the old spec

whatever haas found it wasnt engine related... but good on them

05/11/2019 at 16:46

Oooohhhhhh, that’s right, they switched how they normally did it. Last year the B-teams got it first, this year Ferrari wanted the gains right away. An d found none.
