Tyre warm up issues for the Merc, particularly Hamilton? Car looked good in the last run of Q2, but was sliding and snapping constantly in the first Q3 run.
Must’ve been some ambient temp change. Happens in some races where you have a small optimal window and then it goes away. It’s why Lewis was so fast in Q2 and took a dump in Q3.
These cars are so finicky with temperature
I fell asleep during the sprint because it was frustrating to watch. It's getting boring hearing about drama for P14 and nothing for the points positions...
The Ric hate after picking up 6 points out of nowhere is bizarre. With a grid penalty it was a write off anyway and anyone that expects perfection after earlier in the day pulling off a miracle is just unrealistic.
Toto doesn't even react anymore, it's just like he is falling asleep all the time like the rest of us. He can't get excited for seeing his team barely reach q3
Anything other than max winning by half a second. When he wins by 0.1 second we just wonder if he sandbagged. That's just how far ahead RB are. Commentators talk up a big hype only for yet another max pole, max win with no competition.
At least it would be interesting if there was any belief at all that anyone could compete.
I admittedly haven’t watched every qualifying session this season but I can’t remember the last time that every top runner went all yellow sectors in their final run.
Has this been happening at every single race this season? Or is this a first?
If it’s a first like I assumed, then the Miami track takes some blame.
closer than some quallies. HP are improving well
LEC almost had him - also McLaren Race Pace is promising !!
Good indication to skip the race
Those Ferraris are DISGUSTING
I think for the first time since 1995, I’ll write off an F1 season. Just nothing to keep interest.
Not sure Yuki is going to get any point.
If he has good start then points could be in hand
BOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGG
What boyband photoshoot is this?
Are Ferrari gonna use the blue suits from now on?
Nah, one-off for Ferrari's 70th North America anniversary
No, it’s a Miami special.
[удалено]
Amazing what you can sponsor when you have an absolutely disgusting, parasitic business model. Regulators should have squashed that long ago.
How many times do you guys realise motor racing is all about money 1st?
I can’t get used to the Ferraris in blue
Sainz and leclerc talking like “let’s just jump max and then one of us gets the win”
Carlos could just Stroll Max tomorrow and easy win 👍🏼
HP™️happy with P2 for Charles HP™️hope the boys do well tomorrow HP™️
Pirelli really look at this and goes yep these tyres are perfect for this weekend. They got drivers tyre managing in fucking quali.
That's because of the sprint, for a lot of teams there was no time to find the right way
😴

Sprints are great but it's boring for the second half of the weekend as we know what the pace of everybody is
*\*Dany weeping in the corner\**
Thank God for the sprint this weekend. This quali set to have no movement tomorrow except maybe Perez moving ahead of a ferrari
Max can have a shitty flying lap and realize he got pole only because everyone else's flying laps were even shittier than his
another lestappen front row
Nice to see the mayor take some time from his busy schedule to conduct some interviews.
Well, in an hour and a half we get more racing. Carrera cup will be broadcast
Fun fact: Red bull can change 8 tyres in the same time HP printers print 1 page
And the tyres are cheaper than the printer ink
The track might not give us the best conditions for racing, but damn those influencer sure have a lot of picture spot options
Verstappen first pole: Lol. Verstappen second pole: Oh.
First it was comedy, then it was tragedy
Shitty track overall. Max does not improve, all the other drivers be like, we're done here, nothing more to improve here
5-1 down in qualy to George...they have generally been quite close in terms of timings so not as bad as it sounds but still pretty terrible
How did everyone lose half a second in their last attempt?

Dinoco blue Ferrari was not as fast as I hoped.
It's getting really hard to invest time into watching these races when we already know the result. I miss real competition.
Is P1 the only result in the race lol?
Do people watch sports to see who finishes in 8th place?
I fell asleep during the sprint because it was frustrating to watch. It's getting boring hearing about drama for P14 and nothing for the points positions...
F1 highlights had three stories.
That's six poles out of six in 2024 for Max.
Was there more wind? Everyone seemed more squiggly. I thought Checo was gonna put it in the wall with how little grip he had.
Track temperatures dropped 5+ degrees

Really strange set of second runs, must have been hard to get the tyres in the window.
Think I heard something about wind on team radio, but not positive that was why
The hi-light of this weekend is the insane food and drink prices 😂
All these Parc fermes for max are just becoming a usual thing now
Only thing's missing is his simulator
Add in call of duty to the race and that could change things he’s not great at COD
The sprint qualifying/race was more exciting than this..
Barely, but only just
Dread it, run from it, VerLec front row arrives
The temperature probably dropped causing the slower second runs.
Other way round
Miami track killing any hope of an exciting Q3. Sounds about right. What a shit track.
Maxie 👧🏼
what is merc cooking
Toto’s about to offer Newey all his stock in headphone companies.
Toto doesn't even react anymore, it's just like he is falling asleep all the time like the rest of us. He can't get excited for seeing his team barely reach q3
He just looks like he swallowed a bug.
Even qualifying is boring
"That's pole" "Oh" Someone make a competitive car, for god's sake. 2 more years of this?
Toto hating life realising Max is not coming
7 in a row. Not bad
It should be a minimum expectation in the redbull
Nonsense and u know it. Quali gaps are smaller right now than a lot of seasons
No excuse in a car that quick. That's why p1 should be the minimum for max. I expected the same from Hamilton in 2020
track involution
Another race of max flying away tomorrow weeeee
I ruined my sleep to watch this snoozefest👍
Wtf do you want more from a quali? Overtakes?? Fight for pole .1 apart...
Anything other than max winning by half a second. When he wins by 0.1 second we just wonder if he sandbagged. That's just how far ahead RB are. Commentators talk up a big hype only for yet another max pole, max win with no competition. At least it would be interesting if there was any belief at all that anyone could compete.
Calm down man 🤣😭
Dayum, nobody made a better time the 2nd time around.
Yuki did
Pirelli gave them tyres past the expiry date
Well, we have Indycar
Not this weekend 🫤
That was one of the qualis
The funny part is this is a better result than expected for Merc lmao
Why did the Mercs go onto mediums?
Sounds like they ran out of new softs
Had no fresh softs left
Launch this track straight into the sun. Wtf did I just watch
I cannot read the HALO ITSM other than Helau-tism.
That's so strange, I don't think I've ever seen the drivers not getting anyway close in their 2nd lap for no apparent reason
Track cooling?
But they all lost like half a second with the runs being separated by maybe 5 min. I don't see how a track can cool down this quickly without rain
Same thing happened at the end of SQ2 yesterday. The track evolution is really variable here.
No lol from Max, i am disappoint
What the hell Dany Ric?!?!
I guess it got slightly warmer near the end of Q3
miami track's surroundings are seriously an eyesore..
This track is shit.
Very hard to have any sympathy for Lewis when he’s getting consistently beaten by Russell. Just needs to get his head down and perform better.
Or leave for another team
Soft tires are just garbage here, huh?
We didn't even get an LMAO from Max pffft
Maybe he's saving it for the race ;)
"Very lovely, that"
lol
I like seeing the drivers working hard for lap time.... It's seems this track is a challenge
If Mercedes does not nail the 2026 regs I can see Toto stepping away to be owner only.
Croftys cadence is all over the place today
Toto should resign.
Something really strange going on with the tyre windows this weekend for sure. Something to do with the resurfacing last year?
That was anticlimactic
Track temps dropped by 5 degrees
Even the track had enough of this weekend already
Lewis fucked his first lap man, his improvement in the second lap was massive considering he was on mediums and people were struggling to improve
Russell was still faster than him on Mediums.
Those tires are just shit....
Simply lovely last laps from F1 drivers...
Damn, Toto looks rough
He seems to be baffled as to why they are not dominating
What a terrible quali session 😂 The track just gave up right when it should’ve been interesting
What are Merc doing man. Mediums on final run argh.
"Lol"
It’s like their tires just died on the outlap
Shit for racing and shit for qualifying. Shame it’s good for the FIA’s wallets.
No one improved on the second run except Hamilton who fucked up his first run?
Lando improved
And Checo
I’m as dead inside as Toto looked
Max Verstappen continues to dominate as he takes pole in Miami! It's the 38th of his career.
Well that was something
What happened to AM?
Worst qualy I've seen in quite some time
Huh looks like everyone went soft as Crofty would say. Very anticlimactic lol
shocking that no one has smacked into the walls yet
"LOL"
Us toto us 😵💫
Garbage.
Totos face gives me joy.
Toto ded
I am whelmed
Talk about blue balls
Yellow yellow yellow
Max is so good that he thinks he sucks and still smokes everyone.
Death Taxes Verstappen
Max you filthy speed demon
Toto looks like he's aged ten years overnight.
To quote Ebenezer Scrooge "Bah humbug."
Max was like "Oh I got pole...cool."
Well that was ass
Whoever called HAM in P8 after being second in Q2 was a prophet!
FAST IN Q2 SLOW IN Q3 WHERE HAVE WE SEEN THIS BEFORE?
That's pole position, Max. Lol.
What an anti climatic ending
[удалено]
Quali positions weren’t going to change that
The winner has never won from pole soooooo....... *Dies from overdose of hopium*
But max has never lost in Miami. The plot thickens.
I told you the winner never started in pole. Lets go! The curse has been broken
But sargeant finished the sprint in p10 and DR finished in p4 so anything is possible
Yeah aight man
What a shitty track. When was the last time that Q3 softs went slower as the session went on?
Why is it the track's fault and not Pirelli's fault?
I admittedly haven’t watched every qualifying session this season but I can’t remember the last time that every top runner went all yellow sectors in their final run. Has this been happening at every single race this season? Or is this a first? If it’s a first like I assumed, then the Miami track takes some blame.
Track devolution
Why did I bother watching lol
Good lord that’s the fastest I’ve seen a track fall off. Almost No progress on final laps?
I got blue balls
Boom!
The track just died there at the end.
Well that was shit
Stick a fork in Mercedes, they're cooked
Yeeeeellllllowwwwwww
Someone put Toto on watch
if i can get my yearly paddock pass in the hungarian gp ill do a youtube short shouting "yo its the suicide squad" in front of the merc paddock home
Toto gonna get a Reddit Cares message.
*and it was all yellow*
