It will be Leclerc vs. Verstappen for the Championship this season as long as both don't struggle with reliability issues. Sainz is great but he's not on their level talent-wise.

Haas were fucked in the last few season due to idiotic sponsorship deals. Magnussen's driving yesterday was impressive, I hope with few good results they find some serious sponsor to keep up the competitiveness.

As a fan of McLaren I'm really disappointed and afraid this season will be terrible seeing the engine supplier, Mercedes, struggling themselves.

Ferrari and Red Bull look strongest and will be a lot more interesting than watching Mercedes domination, although I expect them to recover around midseason.

Alfas looking decent in practice
Merc engine clearly not going to be competitive this year, all bottom 7 drivers running on it
Magnussen again putting in top10 flying lap
Honda or Ferrari engine this year it looks like

Think Verstappen is going to take some beating this weekend.

Hamilton isn’t even going to make Q2 here at this rate

Lewis rattled. Madness

 

[fergus90]

He is definitely rattled, especially when Russell is a second faster than him.

 

[serghei]

What the fuck, he is 16th?

 

[El Gato]

Crazy but probably a needed reality check for him. Needs to adapt to not having a supercar

 

[fergus90]

Commentators speculating about the car. Yes it’s not the quickest but mentally he’s lost an edge.

Is it worse than Haas cars? Isn't he behind Haas cars? As well as 70% of all cars.

Haas and K Mag are having a successful reunion so far. Back to where they were before being an absolute meme.

All the Mercedes engine cars look kinda shit to be honest. Haas and Alfa Romeo are running Ferrari while Alpha Tauri obv running Honda/RB.

 

[El Gato]

Aye, Haas with a good driver is a top10 car comfortably, same with Alfa.
Mercs look garbage overall and lose hugely on straights, but can squeeze out a lap if needed. Just drivers need to adapt. Lewis not used to losing so who knows how he copes

Worst of all I kept him on my fantasy team ugh

 

[serghei]

Bad crash by Mick there. He is not moving.
