f1 spoilers may turn up here

finally...summer break is over

anyhoo...ferrari should take the front row here..i dont think anyone can keep up over a single lap...race pace wise the mercs and bulls look stronger tho... that said if anyone can throw away a golden opportunity at a front row lock out its ferrari

mercedes is having a tough weekend between technical difficulties and a rare fuck up from lewis...i think the bulls will be all over them... also...perez shiney new spec merc engine asploded in fp2....i wonder if thats a sign of things to come

and on the bulls..albon will be starting at the back so itll be interdasting to see what he does in qually...if he makes it to q3 he could give max a pretty good tow on this track... in any event i hope they let him go for it instead of playing silly tire games to have a whole bunch of fresh sets for tomorow....i want to see what he can really do

and the rest of the field is tight as always... the force indias look fast..alfas look q3 capable too.. and riciardo managed to set a 4th place time in fp3...wich is to say....ive no idea who will make it to q3 other than the usual 6 (well...maybe 4 if they cant get hammies car fixed in time and dont let albon play)

welp...time to find out

It’s strange seeing Mercedes falter after years of crushing it. Maybe a we’ll finally see Leclerc’s maiden win, but it seems like it’s Ferrari’s to lose.

I wonder if Merc fucked up with the engine or if the customer teams have packaging issues with the new spec.

I guess Stroll will have to thank Gio for getting him out of Q1.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > gin-san - shitpost specialist
08/31/2019 at 09:38

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
08/31/2019 at 09:41

I think it might be his second... he got into Q2 back in Germany.

08/31/2019 at 09:57

A ren’t a lot of the Verstappen fans just on the national pride bandwagon? I’m sure many new Dutch fans would like that info, too.

*splits the ferraris*

Leclerc is looking real good!

hammy always complains when hes not 3 weeks ahead of everyone....sometimes when he is too

BeaterGT > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
08/31/2019 at 10:16

Hahaha well done sir. Ferrari front row, but can they convert it to a win?!

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > BeaterGT
08/31/2019 at 10:17

i hope so....but i have my doubts....i think the bulls and mercs are better on the tires

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
08/31/2019 at 10:18

Wow, they actually got the lockout!

Will be interesting to see how the tires last for Ferrari during the race, I read a bunch of crap about how their tire degradation was really bad during their practice runs. Then again, who knows how that’ll all turn out with the cooler temperatures we’re supposed to get tomorrow.

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > gin-san - shitpost specialist
08/31/2019 at 10:22

yeah...i hope they actually take it...but i doubt they’ll run away with it

still... it should be entertaining tomorow especially with all the fast cars coming from the back

gin-san - shitpost specialist > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
08/31/2019 at 10:25

Given that the Ferraris were quick all weekend and Mercedes was having troubles, P3 seems pretty damn good. Whether or not he’s quicker on race pace all he needs to do is stay out of trouble to keep his comfortable points lead. Barring any 1st corner/lap incident he should have the power to stay ahead of the rest of the pack even if Vettel/Leclerc pull away.

All I’m worried about now is Ferrari strategy giving the win to Vettel while Leclerc somehow ends up P3 (or something worse for both drivers).

its ferraris race to lose

and goddamn are they good at fucking things up....i really hope they dont this time

BeaterGT > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
08/31/2019 at 10:30

Yea you’re right , especially since temps will drop tomorrow too .

Ilikeredcars > farscythe - makin da cawfee!
08/31/2019 at 10:52

I Ferrari can't convert tomorrow I'm going to just watch indycar for the rest of the season tbh

farscythe - makin da cawfee! > Ilikeredcars
08/31/2019 at 10:55

*starts a betting pool for will ilikeredcars watch the rest of the season*

im calling it 50% odds...they have the speed....but will the tires last/strategy not be pants on head retarded/ walls be magnetic

Ilikeredcars > farscythe - makin da cawfee!

Charles leads from the front like few others, only thing I'm really worried about is Ferrari "strategists" screwing it all up.
