The biggest thing for me wasnt the random 4th for Danny, it was the consistency all session and the fact the result didnt come from a fortunate change in track condition/red-yellow flag etc keeping him up the top of the timesheet. Very pleasantly surprised. Fingers crossed for tomorrow
@@seekhearts I saw a breakdown of the sector times and he was 2nd fastest in sec 2 and fastest in sec 3. 8th fastest in sec 1. Hopefully that doesn't mean he'll be eaten up on the straight tomorrow. I heard them saying going easier on tyres in sec 1 gives you more speed later in the lap. Hope that was what was happening.
It’s nice to see for him in light of all the criticism of him being washed up at this point in his career. Would be nice to see a nice redemption/comeback story for him.
They're just two separate events. One informs the other but I don't really care. That's why the meme of Leclercs conversion rate is annoying and boring. It just doesn't matter. Charles is a fantastic driver who's never had a dominant car like Lewis and Max have had the pleasure of having.
@@BigFatCock0I love having fun and celebrating it. I’m just pointing out something I find funny. We never learn, and that’s ok. That’s what makes the sport fun.
If you think last year's car or the 2019 car was dominant you don't know what a dominant car is. Those cars were both second fastest on the grid behind mercedes in 2019 and red bull in 2022. Even at the start of 2022 they didn't have a dominant car as red bull were pretty much equal in terms of race pace but they just had some issues with reliability which made ferrari look more dominant than they actually were
Man imagine like p5 for him it would be fucking amazing and remember that hes great at Brasil so he actually still can carry them for p7 in constructors
Something no one seems to have paid attention to is that even with the tow from Yuki, Danny was rarely fastest in Sector 1. But he dominated Sector 3 the entire day. Q1, Q2 and Q3 and he set the fastest Sector 3 time in every part of the session. That's where he made up all his time, that's where he drove better than anyone else, and even Yuki said Daniel was so fast he probably didn't even need the tow. The moment Q2 ended I knew he was going to be a top contender in Q3 even without Yuki, because Sector 3 was entirely his. Hell, add the tow and he might even have stolen P3 from Max.
Ricciardo at Perez' home race, in the junior team car, for the team at the literal opposite end of the Constructors Championship, and having raced in 75% less races. Damn, no chill! RIP Perez!
@@BlackDiamondYoutub I don't think so, Perez was rarely as close to Max as in this quali... less than 2 tenths. If Danny Ric can repeat this in the next few races than we can talk about it.
@@soundscape26 if danny gets on the podium and perez doesnt keep his current place or higher, knowing rb's history i wouldnt be surprised if danny would be in sergio seat next race.
Lando had 2 attempts on the Softs after the initial aborted Medium run. Attempt 1 he took to much kerb (Lando loves ridding kerbs) in the fast corners in the middle sector, had a tank slapper and messed it up all on his own. Attempt 2 he was caught out by the Alonso Spin / Yellow Flag.
Ricciardo really heard horner saying that if checo didn't get a podium on his home race it's lights out for him and his prime self came to possess his body
0.140 behind Max in quali-result... if nothing bad happens during race, start/turn 1.. I think Pérez could do well! Yes, in Q's D.Ric split the RB's but I'm not sure if the AT is up to getting a top result in a full race..
@@MrBashem I know, the RB19 and AT cannot be compared when it's about a full race. I keep my fingers crossed for a clean race, no "contact" of worse, like collision turn 1 or later on.. yes, with Ham's misfortunes twice Checo ran into some luck in some way
@@mackamotorsport2593I think Danny needs to still show race pace and have another 2-3 results like that this season before RB will commit. Him being last last week and 4th this week doesn’t show consistency. Ik there’s a lot of extenuating circumstances for last weeks results but he needs to show that the last place came from those circumstances and not him being inconsistent
For him its the same if its p1 or p3. With p3, he will blast past with the tow. If he was on pole, the rb's straightline speed means the other cars even with a tow cant overtake, like last year.
Probably the most annoying meme I’ve ever read. Things have changed. Mexico is a difficult track for overtaking. Red Bull isn’t as dominant as they were anymore. But most F1 fans are too busy saying “fErRaRi sTrAtEgIeS hahahahahaha” that they’ve forgotten about the fact that it’s been the ONLY team that won a race other than RB.
well alpha tauri was heavily upgraded as mentioned by crofty and multiple media outlets after zanvoot, crofty mentioned it multiple times too, so preferably it was constructed to suite around riccardo, sounds like a no brainer
Happy for Daniel, hope he can replicate that performance in the race! Not sure if he'll hold on to 4th but points are surely in the cards. As a McLaren fan, bummed for Lando, hope he can salvage his weekend in the race tomorrow but it's going to be hard!
Could someone stop Charles' Pole-to-Lose rate hitting 90%? I don't want to lose my bet. Damn Fail-arri! You failed the drivers, now you are failing my bet! 🤣
If talking about competitive seasons, 2012 and 2013 are still some of the closest racing in terms of quali times, and the amount of different winners. Absolutely golden years for F1 racing in my opinion.
Bottas was on used tyres and had a lockup in third sector. Even with that, he managed to get from P10 to P9. First sector he matched with Ricciardo and was improving.
Something happened on that first lap of q3, all of the suddent they all gained a massive advantage and no one had the pace on the 2nd lap with max only beating his time by soo little, that 2nd lap of q3 both ferrrari's were off their times by .600
Ferrari's car is a tyre overheating monster. Track temperature in Q3 was almost 5°C lower than in Q1. Suddenly they were able to keep their tyres alive until the very technical final sector.
The thing I picked up about the practice session and sprint, is that not having enough practice helps the team to guess the strategy and therefore have diverse strategy between teams and teammates in the race. Perhaps we should have a practice specific tire separate from the race/quali sets.
Great to see him destroyed next year in a RB for a change. Ran away... Where did that take him? Back to being second best. I am betting Derpstappen's distance will be even greater next year. Either way, that Aussie is hilarious... Cannot wait to see him shredded like Swiss cheese 😂😂😂😂
@@LathropLdST I doubt Ricciardo is under no illusion that if he got 2024 seat its only to be 2nd driver but that still million times better fighting for podiums and odd win opposed to ending his career at AlphaTauri or any other backmarker / lower midfield team.
A lack of grip on the track is a great leveller for the slower cars. Well optimised cars have tons of grip on high grip tracks but this is reduced substantially on low grip tracks. So the grip delta between the cars is reduced and the slower cars close the gap. That is why Ferrari was able to close the gap on RB.
Peter Windsor said that the cars with the worst downforce were the fastest at the end of Q3 because their tires were still in the best shape. Cars like the RB cooked their sorts
Can we talk about how Alonso's 'accident' was almost definitely staged to attempt to help get Stroll in to Q2? Not a single driver or commentator who looked at it could avoid commenting on what a strange mistake it was, and in several cases you could tell that was quite euphemistic. Watch his hands on the replay; he suddenly jerkily cranks the wheel in just before the apex putting him suddenly off-line and then countersteers before he's even touched the kerb and then he plants the throttle anyway.
I thought it was more him trying to avoid himself being kicked out of Q1. His time was not gonna get better, so he made sure that everyone behind would not get a time in.
The commentators even said that Stroll got a message to overtake everyone before starting his lap. It was 100% staged. They wanted him ahead of everyone so Alonso could spin and hold everyone else up.
Head wind on DRS for Ferrari boys while everyone else were in the pits. But Riciardo's P4 is genuine and you wonder would have been front row if not for the magic laps from Ferrari boys.
Is there a reason why Aston Martin did not just revert to the old setup when there new setup did not work. If it was me I would have lost the upgrade and went back to what was working out fine. Tommy the Wizard what were you doing casting spells on Danny?
This pole out of nowhere cements that it’s less of a Charles Bottling pole position opportunities and not able to convert to a win and more of Charles amazingly putting the Ferrari on pole time and time again when it evidently shouldn’t be there
If lando starts on hards and there's a lap 1 safety car it could work in his favor. Anyone who ditches the tires they start on would be giving up track position to him and he'd hopefully be far enough back to avoid everything.
There will be others on Hards, All would have to stay out for an early SC. Pends on how long Mediums can last in the cars that are good to tyres. They are worth half a second over Hards.
Maybe the drivers at the back... I don't expect those towards the front to give up track position early in the race though. But who knows, maybe the hard compound tyres are the ones to be on tomorrow!
🥲the anxiety I have right now I know ferrari have no race pace obviously they will drop back but alpha tauri race pace especially in this track does not look to bad but problem is we have a fast mercedes, mclaren and red bull behind so if ricciardo can get p8 that will be a win for me
Matt, I'm blaming your "biggest flop" curse for Albon's track limits keeping him out of Q3--if Alfa Romeo show up and snag 7th in the constructor's standings from Williams because of this, I will be *devastated*. Alex has been carrying that team for the entire season, and I don't want to see him lose out at the end.
I think that if a driver gets a penalty and cant serve it i.e. he already starting from the back , it should be changed to penalty in the race. Sargeant got 10 place grid penalty and is already starting last, the penalty should still apply somehow...
Although i agree this loophole has been in the rules for years. The FIA had always been adamant that the results or consequences of the penalty should not be taken into account. This would go against that so much I'd say it's unlikely to ever change.
Why is not one talking about that totally deliberate spin from Alonso because he knew the pace of the AM wasn't there. It was a classic Alonso deliberate yellow.
You kidding right? Watching the live-stream and seeing his dreams get crushed is one of the race-weeks highlights. :P Seriously, it's kind of cruel but still so funny... XD
I wonder if the AT is actually like, actually a midfield car being driven poorly by Yuki/Debris, or if this is Danny just, being at a track that he vibes with and the car is in JUST the right window to work and dragging a backmarker car up... The rest of the season will be interesting to see the result of that.
Max has to be the new #blessed. He has broken more rules this season and not been penalized than I think I've seen in 27 years of F1. What he, George, and Alonso did in the pit lane is exactly the same as impeding on track, hell it's worse because you're holding up a dozen cars when there's only 2 minutes left.
What's the point ? if you really watch f1 you would know that Leclerc doesn't often have the car on 22 poles he missed 4 of them himself at one point you have to stop and say that Leclerc is good on one lap or he doesn't have the car to fight or crappy strategy or fiability
I'm not entirely sure on whether it's allowed, but could Ferrari just have cranked the engine up to max, get the run in and gamble that it's going to be good enough, then turn the engine back down to reasonable levels for the second run so that the cars enter parc fermé with an engine that's not set to "destroy during race" mode?
About Albon/Williams, the race is at the “same’ timeslot as Fp1 and 3… where they were fast, so there is hope I think…. (Dont think they changed setup… , so track temps ?

Why is not one talking about that totally deliberate spin from Alonso because he knew the pace of the AM wasn't there. It was a classic Alonso deliberate yellow.
Because he is WAY better than anyone anyone else at making it LOOK like it wasn't on purpose lol
Thanks to Matt's last line, I'll always think of FP1, 2, and 3 as Foreplay 1, 2, and 3 now...
Oh Matt. I know you're happy but we need to temper our emotions to avoid the crushing pain of Ferrari strategy on race day. ❤😂😢
You kidding right? Watching the live-stream and seeing his dreams get crushed is one of the race-weeks highlights. :P
Seriously, it's kind of cruel but still so funny... XD
😂
It is to far for me to go to Brittain for the shows. I wish you fun there!
DANNY RIC WAS COOKING 🎉
I wonder if the AT is actually like, actually a midfield car being driven poorly by Yuki/Debris, or if this is Danny just, being at a track that he vibes with and the car is in JUST the right window to work and dragging a backmarker car up... The rest of the season will be interesting to see the result of that.
I dont get why the top teams can just break the rules over and over again, and not even a slap on the wrist. Congrats Ricci!
Max has to be the new #blessed. He has broken more rules this season and not been penalized than I think I've seen in 27 years of F1. What he, George, and Alonso did in the pit lane is exactly the same as impeding on track, hell it's worse because you're holding up a dozen cars when there's only 2 minutes left.
How about Ricci having a colosal start and a perfect slipstream and he ends up first in turn 1?
Am I the only one thinking Alonso spun on purpose to keep Landon out of Q2?!?
Go Danny boy! Logybear has a penalty for 🇳🇺
This quali is the "what if aero didn't matter" session
Lando needs to focus. Helmut, is he bred for it?
What's the Max win ratio starting from Pole compared to when Charles gets the pole?
What's the point ? if you really watch f1 you would know that Leclerc doesn't often have the car on 22 poles he missed 4 of them himself at one point you have to stop and say that Leclerc is good on one lap
or he doesn't have the car to fight or crappy strategy or fiability
LANDO & DANY RIC ARE GODS
I'm not entirely sure on whether it's allowed, but could Ferrari just have cranked the engine up to max, get the run in and gamble that it's going to be good enough, then turn the engine back down to reasonable levels for the second run so that the cars enter parc fermé with an engine that's not set to "destroy during race" mode?
Nope. When you enter qualifying 1, engine settings are locked.
Alpha tauri was a rocketship, even yuki making Q2 without trying to
Matt : I'm not gonna be bait by Charles' pole again
Also Matt :
I really wish I could come to the live shows. Bit far in Australia 👀🤣
Remember what happebed last time danny ric started beside max verstappen. He beat him to turn one and took a win. Cmon danny ric. We need a miracle.
I just cant understand how 2 cars found .8 and 1.1 seconds between q2 and 3. Charles radio made me laugh because je was so genuinely shocked by it
imagine daniel get somehow on the podium ahead of perez, i wonder who they will boo max or him?
If anyone want to make memes for tomorrow after Ferrari inevitably screws up the race, the screenshots are available here.
Can't wait for leclerc turning pole position to disqualification again😅
Thanks 😊
I was expecting a 3 or 5 spot grid penalty for Max. He'll be in P1 before they hit the T1 braking zone
About Albon/Williams, the race is at the “same’ timeslot as Fp1 and 3… where they were fast, so there is hope I think…. (Dont think they changed setup… , so track temps ?
