If this holds up until Europe, probably.
Cold Take #5: It's not Russell that scares me. It's the fact Kimi stuffed a car, had it fixed in less than 3 hours with no set-up time and was HALF A SECOND quicker than the field.
Toto conned us. We just took the bait again.
Thank you Bernie Collins for the clearest and most concise explanation on compression ratios I've seen.
Alongside Anthony Davidson as the consistent best element of Sky's coverage. Gutted she only does 10 rounds.
Would love to have seen what a working car from Max would have done, but even giving the field every credit, we're probably talking half a second here.
That's a season-ender under most parameters. And this was a Mercedes team that was figuring shit out on Friday. #F1
Cold takes 3.5: Isack Hadjar, you've moved me.
EIGHT TENTHS ON THE FIELD THOUGH?! Someone hold me.
Cold Takes 3: Fuck. #F1
I think livery opinions are subjective, if you think it's too dark, then I can't argue with you. I actually really like the dark gloss this year, and that's okay too.
Man got the memo.
"And they really shouldn't be hit by accident at 150mph. Smashing."
You know what, I'm bringing back cold takes. Nice, safe, well reasoned opinions with a hint of jokes.
Cue the rebrand.
Ah, two bottles of Dom Perignon for the prize-giving gala thanks to Mercedes. #F1
And the Audi gave its last gasp on the way and nearly caueed a pitlane piledriver. Fun. #F1
Cold takes 2: Brilliant effort from Arvid Lindblad, who's been very fast right out of the box, and for Gabriel Bortoleto making Q3 on Audi's debut. Alpine's not looking too bad either on Mercedes power. Very close midfield. Good. #F1
Fastest lap of the weekend from George Russell there by the way, tenth quicker than in FP3. #F1
Cold takes: Relatively close field. Even Cadillac, brand new - 3 seconds really isn't that bad for a brand new car. Tremendous job from the Mercedes garage.
Seems like a rear axel completely locking up for Max. For IndyCar fans, think Newgarden in Mid-Ohio. #F1
Lol, you don't have to mention me in your... moments here, gang. #F1
Rear axle lockup eh? Wow.
Verstappen is OUT. #F1
Right. Now it means something. Q1, and the Kimi clock is at roughly 13 minutes to Midnight. #F1
That race was stupid. And entertaining. What a messy bitch this series still is. #F2
Prema. We do not have the capacity. #F2
Colton Herta is getting the "Welcome to #F2" experience. All he needs now is a Mechachrome.
Durksen's imported his AIX jungle juice power unit I see. #F2
Ted Kravitz comparing Kimi's crash to a DTS episode and making the bold claim that this is a season-affecting crash is everything wrong with sports broadcasting.
We gotta tell a story. ANY story. Even if there's no evidence to suggest it. Especially if it makes the Reality TV show better. #F1
When the Perkeo/Observatory combo hits in Balatro…
...As a Ferrari man, I ain't here for Silver.
Well, the good news - Leclerc didn't get a lap time in that final rush of laps.
Bad news - From what I was told, the general concensus was Mercs by .2-.4. Hmm. #F1
Mercedes seductively removing a sandbag as an act of revenge. #F1
Might be touch and go for Kimi and Quali there. If the chassis and power unit's in one piece, he might be alright. #F1
Alonso comfortably within 107%. That's one box ticked. (No, I'm serious). #F1
