This is what the teams are not happy about getting thrown into the Sprint quali tomorrow as is.

Ferrari will screw it up, as usual.

M5Rick · 04-28-2023, 11:27 AM

Depends how LEC's car was prepared, with no upgrades from last time out it could have been a one lap wonder set up but we'll see tomorrow in the sprint shoot outs first where it should still be good for LEC.

NYG · 04-28-2023, 11:34 AM

This format is garbage....

Well done to Charles but obviously, I don't think he'll have race pace to even be on podium tomorrow.

FrankMstein · 04-28-2023, 11:34 AM

More down to how they keep F-ing up the race strategy, not the prep.

GuidoK · 04-28-2023, 11:44 AM

It's nice to see both McLarens back in the top10 qualifying. Their season start was dramatic.
It feels strange that qualifying for the race is already done now.

Only to go into another quali.

Really low quality format for F1.

M5Rick · 04-28-2023, 01:44 PM

Quali hilites and a bit of luck to Ferrari at last, Max tried something new in Q2 but it didn't quite work out though he's happy with 2nd for Sunday.
Sorry you have to put up with Crofty.

Oh I know that, I found out the same time you did. But only at Baku was he actually being asked about it by the press

Autobacs · 04-28-2023, 08:09 PM

It will be interesting to see the race pace of Ferrari, Hamilton, and ALO.

If Charlie runs like that in the race (brake much later) I'm pretty sure his tyres will be gone in 6-7 laps..

Great that Leclerc has the skills and guts to drive his Ferrari on the limit. Well-deserved P1.

He went "all-in". Very limited margin for mistake - technical circuit with walls as merciless 'track limits'. There gonna be yellow flags, especially during the later stages of the race when fatigue creeps in.

Leclerc said during the post-qualies interview that it will be hard to keep up with the Red Bulls during the race (in terms of race pace). Hopefully he manages to keep P1 after the start so that we can witness Verstappen breathing in his neck for some time, battling for track position.

We need Leclerc back re-engaging in fighting for the WDC. IMHO he's currently the only driver of the pack capable of successfully challenging Verstappen - but, unfortunately his car cannot keep up with his skills. Imagine for a moment also Leclerc and Alonso driving the RB19 - now that would give some fireworks at the front of the pack.

As was said the late braking is aggressive by Chas which is perfect for quali but cannot be sustained in the Sunday race.

Doesn't look like Charlie will have much of a chance to hold off VER on the long straight.

Elbows out my friend . He will make his Ferrari very wide ...

And Helmut Marko said to MAX : No risks and no damage is the priority for the race !

That's why I think that Charlie can do it today ...

OK . Let us sprint for it ! FORMATION LAP !
