We are not complaining at all my friend Merc's plan is for the others to put more rubber down for them then they think things will be better for them.You should come over to our side and support Max,what appeal is there to you from the MIB.

with some more rubber it can be better of course.. MIB part.. i like them for some time already my friend its very hard while Merc' is around.. actually since and with W204 C63 more likely after M156 engine even if it had an open diff for some time..
and from Hakkinen days to Lewis with Merc' again.. back in Hakkinen days Merc' engines were literally smoking most of the time but still..

Pirelli have increased tyre pressures to 24F/21R.Raining heavily there with everyone back in the pits and I guess that's it for FP3 so looking forward to the quali

[M5Rick]

Spoke too soon and some and some cars tiptoeing out onto the track and Gio nearly stuffs it into barrier, only four out on track.
Really? a certain F1 magazine 'plus' are saying why Merc are the third best at this track..they are great for stating the obvious.

[yco]

conditions are horrible..
trying not to spin is not talent cause they cant even push its not racing at all.. i guess it ll be better cancel quali and if the race d be like this as well cancelling it also..

Only the chickens would want to pull out now..put the full wets on and go!
That's it for FP3 and Max takes all three.

They can start..then pull out if they feel they can't hack it. Remember F1 is distantly based on road cars (action for road safety) road cars don't stay parked up when it rains so they can't just stop it every time the skies open, which is the first time this season.

Red Bull top of the practice times!!....Well they must cheating right, thats how it works - if a team is fastest then they must be cheating.
The cheating cheaters with their hidden cheats that no one knows about.
Anyone would be fastest in a Red Bull.

[M5Rick]

^ Yeah right,that gurney tab looks dodgy

[EdM5]

Max' Q1 hotlap was insane!

[rcracin]

Hahahaha max flopped

Well , that's what we saw today !!!

We did indeed!!

@ verstappen fastest car and he still couldn't get poll.

[rcracin]

Im sure Max is on his way to being the GOAT with Stroll beating him to pole

[yco]

its nice to see session could run really.. i hope tomorrow it ll be a drivable track and we can see a nice race..

well big grats to Stroll that put together a great lap and took the pole.. rich mans kid deserved his seat today well done with right call for tires.. its a team sport..
Max was looking so fast in on wet tires but with inters things didnt work for him..

Merc's were struggling with front right tire temperature at least Lewis that its pretty weird actually cause its anti clockwise track.. probably they ll come up with some solution or ease it somehow.. tomorrows race will have a lot of unknown really.. 2020 is a really weird year all around..

[FormulaMMM]

Well, that was entertaining!

Max probably missed his shot to get tires into the optimum window stuck behind Kimi.

Note he was the first one out in the sessions, lacked any visual references ahead. Showing Albon the way around the whole time and still seconds faster. The anti-Max crowd... like he's not a virtuoso behind the wheel. Get real dudes.

Credit to Stroll. Kid is not talentless just because dad owns the team.

Kimi P8, 0.2 off Hamilton. Car control and instincts still there. The cranky Finn stays until he decides he's had enough.

Lacked visual references? It’s the driver in the spray zone who lacks visual references not the driver with them clear track ahead, no?

[M5Rick]

Brilliant Max nabs the front row as the track was getting faster just running out of time, need my binoculars from the front row to see where HAM ended up

Clear track in this case being the equivalent of first one to cross a suspect suspension bridge.

Drivers behind could create enough distance to be out of the primary spray and still advantaged by some semblance of visual reference/driving line, I'd say.

Note there was no scramble for front of the pack positions from a certain world championship team.

The Merc is the fastest car of the decade !
As others said : Get real guys ! The Merc drivers s@ck in the rain !


I've a message for the Merc fans and team ...

[M5Rick]

Hold up, STR has to see stewards soon about a yellow flag infringement..!
