Formula One 2020

Stroll struggles a bit in Q2. Vettel in 8th. Albon misses Q3. Norris through to Q3. 

Grip seems to be the main issue today.

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

and Hamilton in P1 with 7 minutes to go

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Max very quietly in 3rd.

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

P9 for Vettel. Wow. LeClerc does well for 4th.

[elfenix 34749]

Mercedes is on another level. Then you have Max, then the rest of the field.

If that was directed at me, sorry about posting a bit of qualifying play-by-play.

Vettel is driving in sand. It's sad.

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Mercedes is just too damn strong.

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

ouch, bad crash there for Kvyat

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

i agree that the accident was Albon's fault

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

a bit surprising to see Stroll back in 9th on lap 21

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

solid day for Grosjean & LeClerc

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

McLaren p5&6 lap 25, pretty nice

I’d be surprised if Grosjean ends up with points

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

I kind of expected a bit more from Renault

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

what a nice looking logjam from Sainz in 5th to Vettel in 11th. 

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Grosjean down to 9th, and in the pit

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Vettel stuck in 11th

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Albon trying hard to get in the points

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Stroll really struggling.

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Gasly gets by Stroll

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Bottas with a flat!

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Albon up to 9th. Sainz with a flat. dropping

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Hamilton limping to the line

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE FINISH FOR HAMILTON

[Goofyboy 3432]

Wow. Hamilton survived!!!

[McCroskey 1510]

Like my prom night, that was one awesome minute.

shit. why could that flat not have come 15 second earlier for Hamilton.

If Max didn't need to come in they cost themselves the race

Solid second-half of the race for Renault

[Anton Chigurh 3335]

That was insane.

[UnivTex34 1765]

Damn...

He didn’t think he had a chance to catch Hamilton. Wanted to pick up an extra point for fastest lap. Which worked. Hindsight’s a bitch. 

[Anton Chigurh 3335]

Horner stated Max’s tires had “cuts”. Maybe tears? Could’ve happened to him, too.

I rewatched the last 3 laps.

Bottas happened on lap 50 (of 52), then came in to pit at start of 51. Max pit at about the same time. They could have pit Lewis at the start of the final lap, but they had just finished pitting Bottas and the team radio indicated to just protect the car in general, not that they were expecting anything.

Crazy finish, though.

[Goofyboy 3432]

Was Bottas pushing Hamilton during the race? If so, he might have cost the team an easy 1 - 2.

Oh I get that. But I think when they saw what happened to Bottas, since the cars are so similar, I would have then hung in to see what happens to Hamilton

It didn't seem like it to me. The top-3 were in their own zone.

Max pitted right after though, right?

[52-80 19377]

Hamilton has Brady qualities.  No matter what happens, he just wins.  Delivers when he needs to deliver. 

Gets beaten by Bottas all weekend?  No problem, take pole in Q3.

But unlike Brady, Hamilton is corny as fuck.

 

Lewis Hamilton @LewisHamilton · 21h I made plenty of mistakes out there today, this one was visible and I wanted to show you. The mistakes are where I learn the most, about myself, the car, my emotions. It’s not how you fall, it’s how you get back up and fight! If I can do it, so can you. #NeverGiveUp

 

He's spoken with this artificially constructed PRspeak for so long ,I bet he's lost his real voice.

[Anton Chigurh 3335]

Yes, that was just in response to saying that he could have won if he stayed out. Yeah, it is possible, but his tires likely had issues as well.

 

It’s possible there was debris (Kimi?).

No you're not Google.

[elfenix 34749]

About lap 48 I thought to myself this race needs to be 54 laps. Really needed to be 53. Holy shit

[elfenix 34749]

I guess next week is a two stopper considering that today's yellow is next week's white.

Pretty sure only the softs are changing to C4. Should be C1, 2, and 4.

 

Edit: I was wrong. C2, 3, and 4 it is. I do wonder did they change that, though.

[wood 11764]

Jesus, fuck Grosjean (moving under braking) and Stroll (weaving all over the fucking place).
