Holy shit, Logan Sargeant Q3 lets gooo
Logan better than Lewis, you read it here first! /s
American dethrones British king of F1! USA! USA! USA!
This didn't age well...
Nice two first two rows, with for different teams. Love it!
Edit: even better: 6 different teams at the first 3 rows :)
Super happy to see the two Williams making it to Q3
Russell sounded legitimately excited for them too!
Norris 👏👏
Albon 👏👏👏👏👏 mega effort
So happy to see Sergeant make it into Q3, even with the crash. It'll be good for his confidence.
This weekend has been awesome so far and I'm not just saying that because I'm a Williams fan.
This really has been a good qualifying! Hopefully the race is just as exciting tomorrow.
HAM beaten by SGT, time to retire 💀
/S
Yay Williams! Nice going..
Looks moist
That's what.. someone said.
That heli cam with the speed information is fantastic!
Sainz, realizing McLaren will be a threat, tries to innocently take them out. Clever.
Edit: Well, right now Ferrari are only a threat to themselves.
Albon and that Williams really love these conditions, on this track.
I'm so happy to see McLaren making a strong showing after the last few years. Excluding Redbull, I think the second half of the season is theirs to lose.
Is this the first Q2 for Sargeant?
Alex Jacques just said this is his 3rd Q2 appearance
I was wondering the same thing.. think it might be.
Edit: 3rd time, apparently.
Both Williams in Q3!
RIP
Shortest Q3 debut for anyone?
Edit: couldn't find stats. I remember at least one driver crashing in Q2 but making it through for the first time though.
The difference between Max and Perez is similar to the difference between Albon and Logan.
What did Leclerc set on the top of the car before he removed the wheel?
It sort of looked like a Ferrari branded tape measure.
Seatbelt buckle. All the harnesses clip into one central point on F1 belts iirc. I think it’s normally left attached to one of the over the shoulder belts
Ah, you're definitely right. I had no idea they could be removed entirely, I thought they were permanently attached to one of the straps.
Kinda surprised to hear the optimism about Ricciardo coming back next year despite the injury.
Do we know how severe the injury is, yet? It didn't seem that bad, and it would be harsh to dismiss him for missing a couple of races this season. If Lawson wins today, he might be in trouble, though.
It was broken, right?
AlphaTauri CEO Bayer said the bone is full broken through. Which sounds bad.
Why did they take out Lewis that early? Did they think “P9 is safe, good enough” while there were still drives on the course?
He pushed his second to last lap. I don't know why they didn't do another warm up and push on the last one. Weird call
I feel like I'm watching a nature documentary with all these super close ups.
Both Williams made it into Q3. Lets go!
Good shit Sargeant
Hoping to see some slicks
We're definitely going to see some in Q3
Damn verstappen always pulls shit out of the bag when it is needed. Also piastri bungeled it when it mattered the most
Maybe rain will come during the red flag and Williams will lock out the front row? Please? I'm desperate.
Its a shame because they were actually competitive in these conditions, but on a dry track, not so much
What was that accident? It looked like he understeered but just didn't react to it?
Watching the on-board camera at this track is so cool. It really shows how big some of the hills are.
Yeah I get what they mean when they say it's a rollercoaster.
DC asking what a crane is called LOL
Grabby thingy
Oh shit
So the intermediate runners got away with the dodgy call then, since nobody apart from Albon got a good lap in on the softs
