There is plenty of look forward to this weekend at Suzuka. Apart from the performances of Yuki and Liam, it will be very interesting to see Sainz's performance who seems to be struggling so far with his new team.
1.5 heuer's.
Not a bad fp1... George kickers again and Yuki only .1 off Max.
F1 on my TV, yeah!
first three race weekends... CHAOS!
The world is rooting for Yuki
Super Max!!!!!
the lap looks relatively pedestrian... very smooth and no drama.
it really surprises me at how much throttle modulation is going on in these modern cars thru turns 3-6. int eh old days they would just feather the brake and keep the throttle @ 100%
3.6 miles and by the hair of my chinny chin chin.
One journalist asked Max: "Can you describe to the rest of us what it feels like at this track to have a car that is where you want it"
I bet he was British
Absolute idiocy
I don’t mind the Sky Sports commentary tbh albeit Jacques Villeneuve is horrific today
Max will get a billion dollar offer soon and still be worth it.
Stroll & Toto will give a massive offer for him to jump ship.
He’s sooooooooo good.
Was there just the 1 overtake/change of order in the top 10 in that entire race?
Sure glad I did not wake up to watch this one, even the sky 1h highlight felt too long
Race was boring as ****
If McLaren need mistakes from Max to become WDC, I'm not betting against Max. Guy squeezed the absolute maximum out of everything aorn
On the bright side: Yuki did better than I expected. Pity he botched Q2, the only driver not to improve from Q1
Let’s not anoint Max just yet because he won a race.
