Nobody crashed in practice either

The gap from VER to the rest of the qualifiers suggests more of 2023. The race for 2-6 might be entertaining, but I think the 2024 WDC has already been decided.

Kzonts

It appears Mercedes is prioritizing George over Lewis now, or am I jumping to conclusions?

I mean, it wouldn’t be surprising since Lewis is a lame duck, so to speak

I think its too early for that... just depends on the weekend with those two..
Lewis was on top yesterday, wasn't his day today...

Let's see how the race goes...

maybe, but this was the only time that Max was on top this weekend, thou the important time to be on top...
The concern for me is race pace... which might mean the more for Max.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out Saturday....

Yeah… Maybe Ferrari will race smarter this year and Mercedes will have good race pace. I would also like to see Checo be more consistent and fighting for wins.

HAAS is in the top ten on the grid. I wonder if they can keep it there and not use up the tires.
