And, Ferrari engine.
But Friday is Friday, Sunday is Sunday.
We’ll get a better picture tomorrow.
Especially if the party (mode) is really over.

Going to be interesting.

anyone following or watching F3, There is an American driver leading the championship Logan Sargeant. Taken the last 3 pole positions and finished 3rd today.

I know it is a long way to F1, but maybe there is a bit of hope

Is Stroll coming into his own, since in Quals he is only .107 behind Perez
Interesting to see what those two do in the race...

Good to see Sergio back and in good form. As a team, they falter during race conditions. It truly shows how hard it is be top tier.

I know it is off topic but would someday like to see females in F1. It is a long road and the struggle is real but would be great to see what happens when they get the opportunity and the $$$ to keep them going.

Lance is decent qual but falls back in the race. Lack of race-craft I think. He just has no faith on the brakes or wheel to wheel battle. Good driver...not so much 'racer' 4th season now...................

a bit boring, all around, but Stroll, showed better than normal,
and the pink Mercedes did well, but Hamilton was in the zone.

Only really exciting part was the start, there was action, mid-field was a bit entertaining...

Did not understand the blue flag on Perez, just seem odd.

Perez flag was silly. They do that and let Stroll run himself and Ricci off the circuit in Austria.............mmmmmmmmm ok.

Max getting alot of the Red Bull. Wow!!

He kept the Pit-wall on its toes today lol!!

Vettel comm feed was interesting.

As much as Mercedes and particularly Hamilton dominating is boring, really have to admire the work put in to have such consistent execution. All the moving parts of an F1 team, they deserve the credit for getting it together.

Meanwhile Verstappen is someone I'm pulling for, but while Mercedes is just being as calculated as can be to hold pace, he has to take the risks just to keep up and has to think about actually chasing.

Put Verstappen in the black mercedes, or even the pink mercedes, we'll need triple amount of pop-corns and beers...

Yes. He's developed so much and gone are the days when he would treat his car like a missile.
