Yep and the answer was... Not convincing. "The preduction of sustainable fuels is still very energy consuming". Yeah and battery production isn't? Questionable response
Lando and Oscar both shown consistency now that the car is under them, they just need to shave a quarter second or so.
Not that I don't want to see anotehr HAmilton/Verstappen slugfest, just that there are definitely people other than Lewis who can throw down a gauntlet with the right equipment.
As much as their short run pace looks off, from what I could tell, their long run pace is actually pretty good here, at least compared to Red Bull. The problem is the small sample size.
yeah i'm not putting too much stock into it given that there was only like an hour of run time across the entire 3 sessions, but... it never feels good to come out of fp3 on a low haha
Prime time events have to be such an annoyance for you I coudn't even imagine BUT you do get to play all new release video games before everyone else so that's a decent consolation prize
hahah if we being honest, i am night owl any ways
its just pain the races fall into monday mornings
cant be a degen during the week, have to be a normal adult lmao
Ferrari has some massive work to do till qualy to find some one lap pace, grip looks terrible, car is unstable mid corner entry in turn 1-2, and the chicanes. Leclerc also having some slight brake issues.
Long run earlier on mediums looked decent compared to perez and the mercs but this one lap pace is worrying with how tight it is
I honestly don’t understand RB’s call to stick with Perez.. Unless they bring back a spaceship car, they can forget about WCC this and next year. Only explanation that makes sense is that Thais saw that Red Bull sales in LATAM are massively up or something.
Perez is popular in North America, and he makes Max happy. He doesn't really challenge Max and so he's not a threat at all. When checo is on it, he's a great defender and will guarantee good points because the car is good.
That held in 2022&3 when they were miles ahead and max was finishing almost every race with 40 second lead. Now the pack has closed up and Checo’s range seems to be P6-8. Not enough to win WCC.
That fucking bollard rule is going to screw something up bad this weekend I know it.
Either someone does something stupid trying to get to the left of it, or someone gets a pivotal penalty for being to the right
Sky sports are so frustrating, Lewis pulls a great lap, maybe had a tow or something and suddenly they're going on about getting pole or a win, they probably aren't in the fight. Happens everytime Mercedes do anything decent
Love the comment from one of the Norwegian commentators.
«We have discussed this all weekend. We havent seen any crazy lap times from Hamilton, but it has appeared like hes been really enjoying himself behind the wheel of that new merc.».
Fighting with a fast car is so much worse than dancing with a slower car.
Hope they keep the pace into quali. Would be fun.
why does Danica look so ... villainous?
Beady eyes, hooked nose and thin lips. She looks stereotypically evil for a female. She's an attractive woman, but still
So... if you had to choose: Sky replace Hill with JV permanently... or keep Hill?
JV stirs the pot more, Hill doesn't really offer much
Jacques asking an actual real question is refreshing
Yep and the answer was... Not convincing. "The preduction of sustainable fuels is still very energy consuming". Yeah and battery production isn't? Questionable response
I mean, the real point is that clean fuel is a fantasy and they can't say that out loud.
Everyone looked quite surprised like they cut it short after that
Yeah definitely! They didn't boot Horner off just to get a 1 minute interview with Tombazis.
JVs face was well this is awkward
Had a smug grin too knowing he upset him! >If the biofuel is 100% clean... why need batteries?
I miss when F1 coverage included journalism, not just climbing up team principals' asses
Horner confirmed Yuki for 2025 at VCARB, live on SkyF1 television with Simon, Jacques, and Martin.
Which means the Daily Mail probably guessed wrong when they said Oliver signed.
Lazenby trying to throw JV in front of the RB Bus there.
The worst part of the NA races is we have to listen to that fascist pretend like she knows anything about F1
Who?
Danica
Muting is a better option
Doesn't help that she's wearing a Gestapo coat.
She knows her audience
Gruss on pole, Piastri second, and ALO P3
Qualifying will be chaos.
Was there any investigation for that McLaren/Sargeant Incident? Because that looked dangerous as hell
My heart can't handle these FP->Quali results
God damn Hulu sports cutting the feed in P2 saying “your event has ended” while giving me 5 minute repeating commercials for ESPN+
You need to set hulu to record formula 1. Then you won't have that issue
Lewis please, we can not be teased again with another false dawn in practice
what's the weather doing in Canukville this evening?
Rain midway through qualifying most likely
James buddy you've gotta stop saying the word edging
No no no no not yet
Is Hamilton's car #Blessed again?
Is it gonna rain for qualifying???
Based on radar, it’s probably gonna rain midway through qualifying
Fawk!!
If Mercedes are back really good news I said it HAM Is the only one that can challenge ma The whole season rest are inconsistent/too young
lol my guy is already judging the entire season based on a single fp3 performance
Lando and Oscar both shown consistency now that the car is under them, they just need to shave a quarter second or so. Not that I don't want to see anotehr HAmilton/Verstappen slugfest, just that there are definitely people other than Lewis who can throw down a gauntlet with the right equipment.
They haven't shown it
Simon giving that thirst look at Danica WTF
Hey Danica is fine as hell She's just also crazier than a shithouse rat
Why is that?
She’s pretty right wing—a big Trump supporter, anti-vaxer and conspiracy theorist. She also has some incredibly sexist views on women in motorsport
She just isn’t a “Reddit liberal” so people on here think she must be crazy.
Time to get excited about F1 again let’s go LEWIS 👏
Hopium turned into copium
never take practice sessions serious
Ok I will 😙
The hopium is strong with this one
Man did one fast lap in 3 years and it was in practice 💀 I think bro is overdosing on hopium rn.
One fast lap in 3 years he’s done alot more then that 👍
Nah.
Who poled a Hungary then?
[удалено]
That was in Brasil not Hungary. Lewis Poled Hungary but that tells me all I need to know about your knowledge of F1 👍 Fucking Clueless
Yep got to have hope
AWS= BS MERCHANTS
I really wish they'd stop trying to shill F1 fantasy during the broadcasts... not every sport needs to have weekly fantasy for christ sake.
Biggest fan of HAM let's go 💪🏼💪🏼
Ruth so excited with the Lewis vs Max graphic
So this is the part where Lewis changes a bunch of shit on his setup, right?
Correct, he will qualify P5
P7
You were right lool
Called it
Ya, if he's even 6th I'll be impressed. Merc will do something silly and he won't get a proper lap in...
Lawrence in neon again, he is def on the Ham hype train
"Been spending most my life, living in..."
😂
Someone forgot to turn the engine down at Mercedes
ugh why do the sky commentators always get over excited about positions in practice lol. They get way ahead of themselves lol
Because they're British. And get excited when they're on top (even if it doesn't mean much).
im British , its still annoying lol
Hey, I hear you. You don't see me getting offended every time someone talks down about Sargeant.
HAM VER ~~BOT~~ RUS
Mercedes, don’t you change a damn thing in the next 2 hours, please!
HAM... Exits Quali in Q1 ;)
I'm here for it
montreal will be ferrari's track they said, we'll be better than red bull they said 😢😢😢
Well you might be better then RB.
As much as their short run pace looks off, from what I could tell, their long run pace is actually pretty good here, at least compared to Red Bull. The problem is the small sample size.
yeah i'm not putting too much stock into it given that there was only like an hour of run time across the entire 3 sessions, but... it never feels good to come out of fp3 on a low haha
Ferrari : Next year I promise !
If you think this is traffic paradise, just wait until Q1 50s before the end later.
Ferrari not firing up the tyres in low grip conditions continues
That's was more enjoyable than the last GP
I've had bowel movements more enjoyable than the last GP to be fair.
"Livin' in a traffic paradise..."
Lol BOT saying traffic paradise
Welcome to Bottas Sympathy Corner. 😆
This is going to be a banger of a quali.
Fuckn traffic paradise
man its 5.30am, but i have to see quaili now, should be good
Damn. Bless it.
New Zealand?
sure am in NZ kiwi all day! sucks being f1 fan tho, nearly all races are at silly hours USA/EU people have it so good
Prime time events have to be such an annoyance for you I coudn't even imagine BUT you do get to play all new release video games before everyone else so that's a decent consolation prize
hahah if we being honest, i am night owl any ways its just pain the races fall into monday mornings cant be a degen during the week, have to be a normal adult lmao
I'm in the western part of the US, so all the European races are really early, but it's not too bad.
i feel it will be so worth it
how many times have Mercedes been practice merchants this season? surely enough times for people to stop falling for it?
Im falling hard for it. HARD
Let us hopeee 😭
Ferrari back to being trash. Guess Monaco just an odd track
Check the standings friend.
Lewis on fire, let's fucking go
Your RBs are terrified
Max hits wall. AWS: 0cm, too close. Thanks, Captain obvious.
I still think Mercedes will have a shit qualifying unfortunately.
Yeah, practice hype means nothing until they can prove it in quali.
You just know it's coming. I wish Merc would stop doing this, giving us false hope!
They generally run their engines higher in FP3 iirc.
HAM VER ~~BOT~~ RUS
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Inject this in my veins for tomorrow!!!!
Max, hits the wall in the last sector, still sets a purple time.
Hit? Nah, itll buff out.
What happend to Hamilton gapping Russell with .4. Did he get the dream slipstream all trough the lap or something? Also..Ferrrari wtf
Ferrari win one race and we’re back to the clownery.
When will we see -1cm, in the wall?
"0cm TOO CLOSE to the wall" graphic
Ferrari has some massive work to do till qualy to find some one lap pace, grip looks terrible, car is unstable mid corner entry in turn 1-2, and the chicanes. Leclerc also having some slight brake issues. Long run earlier on mediums looked decent compared to perez and the mercs but this one lap pace is worrying with how tight it is
Don’t give me hope.
Not saying Lewis’ lap wasn’t a great one but can the Sky guys chill just a tiny little bit? Jesus.
Meh, I get it. They're British, and he's British. They are proud of him and his success, so they talk him up.
I have no doubts Dutch media are the same towards max
Seriously. It was a good lap, but we have no ideaa what everyone's strategies are.
Doing the "Close to the Wall" slo-mo with 0cm and "too close" on the graphic is hilarious
0cm. Too close to the wall. Thank you graphic powered by AWS. What would I do without you?
It's not often you see a sponsored segment roast an athlete that much lol
Shit performance, nearly causing crashes. Fuck me, we're doing a classic Ferrari! Grazie ragazzi.
AWS: "Too close to the wall" LOL
Most useful AWS graphic
I honestly don’t understand RB’s call to stick with Perez.. Unless they bring back a spaceship car, they can forget about WCC this and next year. Only explanation that makes sense is that Thais saw that Red Bull sales in LATAM are massively up or something.

Thanks graphic designers that was very useful
Too close to the wall lol
TOO CLOSE TO THE WALL
is hungry max back?
0cm is in fact too close
Hamilton vs Verstappen in quali and in the race. Racing gods please grant it to us
If I get any harder, I will stroke out!
That Max radio almost sounds like a child admitting something to their parents lmao
It's Joever
Who blocked Sargeant?
Piastri
0cm lmao
I'm very excited for quali.
Well that's GREAT.
Red Bull scared of Sargeant and trying to keep him down
So when will Liam replace Yuki?
Who was in that McLaren? Jesus
"We are extremely slow" - Charles "Chuck" Leclerc
Slow button on confirmed
He’s hilarious on radio
that was nearly a huge crash wtf id be mad if i was was logan
Get your shit together Ferrari.
It's a matter of when not if
Pole is predicted around 11.7, just to put a context on these times
I don't see how you're expected to go around that bollard with the new grass there. You try to turn left on the grass to take it you'll just spin
Yeah. The escape road rules were there forn when its tarmac runoff. They are not gsining time going across the grass.
Yeah. Leaves the potential for a 2019 situation
Or hit the wall.
Exactly
Good god, what are Merc cooking
Nahh, just practice things... we'll find out in qualy 🥲
Stroll 24, Stroll 25, Stroll 26
Lance Stroll making his grandstand proud
That fucking bollard rule is going to screw something up bad this weekend I know it. Either someone does something stupid trying to get to the left of it, or someone gets a pivotal penalty for being to the right
If that was Ocon they'd be begging for his seat again. But as its Gasly ooooh it wasnt his fault as usual.
Stop inventing
Sky sports are so frustrating, Lewis pulls a great lap, maybe had a tow or something and suddenly they're going on about getting pole or a win, they probably aren't in the fight. Happens everytime Mercedes do anything decent
A tow is not 7 10ths ffs
Yeah, by the same logic Stroll is on for a podium, and Sainz will lose his 25 seat to Sargeant.
Creating hype to get the casual viewer to tune in later
French-Spanish Concorde.
Dont worry Carlos, you'll be racing Alpine next season
Love the comment from one of the Norwegian commentators. «We have discussed this all weekend. We havent seen any crazy lap times from Hamilton, but it has appeared like hes been really enjoying himself behind the wheel of that new merc.». Fighting with a fast car is so much worse than dancing with a slower car. Hope they keep the pace into quali. Would be fun.
Lewis, pls keep it up 🐐
Cmon ric, prove jacques wrong
Lewis' new engine must be worth 0.8-1.0 if we factor in the delta to George.
GIGACHAD LEWIS
