      For real. First thing I said to my partner was “what year is it??”

      0.018 between them into a very long first turn. Hoping for a good sprint!

    Hadjar seems to be on speed with Tsunoda already. And Lawson once again proves how shitty RBR is at building a driveable car.

      Hadjar is really impressive so far.

        He makes rookie mistakes, but he is a rookie so that is fine. His raw pace is impressive.

    Broadcasting team needs to fix the timings board. Been glitchy for the past few events.

        TSU sends kudos to Mr. Marko.

        That car has to have some very weird requirements from the driver. It’s not that everybody is slower than VER (expected), but nobody seems able to extract performance. Mr Marko, Give Yuki a chance! :D

          It seems to have been the case for years now, Verstappen has very specific preferences for how the car feels, and nobody else can deal with that setup

            I think RB has accidentally designed their to be impossible to drive because Max isn’t happy with the car either. The only reason he gets anything done with the car is because he’s Max Verstappen.

    Alonso in 2? 1 second faster than Stroll? Hulk nearly as fast as Antonelli? What is happening here?
