2 - CHARLIE
3 - CHECO
4 - LEW
5 - LANDO
6 - PIASTRI
7 - RUS
8 - SAINZ
9 - ALO
10 - OCON

So , Checo will be P2 and MAX P11 at the startgrid...

Max is on another level now.
Too bad that he has to take 10p grid penalty.
LEC on pole with a very small margin to Checo

Dry weather tomorrow , Checo on the front row at P2 vs Charlie at P1 .
MAX at P11 , he won't take prisoners

Can't wait to see that ...

Is there a chance for Checo to win with MAX on the podium I'm thinking. Looking at MAX he's starting just behind OCO so will need extra care with him there.

I'm sure there's something in Checo's contract about that, it's bound to be a '2nd driver contract'
So it's possible, but only if there's a driver between Checo and Max

Yes my friend . My fingers still hurt

Will I be OK ?
I've a trick for that if the tension is too strong for me .
I will walk on my terrace while I watch the start through the window ...

The rest of the race I will crack and eat Belgian walnuts .

Usually that works great for me ....

I was starting on thinking that too, if it comes to it one on one with MAX second it's a almost definite job saver for Serge.

Max was dominant in Quali and once again showed he has no equal or even close rival in wet weather - similar to how he is in the dry.

I heard Ham asked him how he was so quick without 100 more hp than everyone else and asked him for driving lessons after.

I heard that from the McLarens as well...

MAX has to pass : 2 Mercs , 2 Ferraris and 2 McLarens (!)


Ohhhh....Man !

He has no other added value to the team. He's 7th in the wdc with 141 points (6 places) behind Max. There's no team on the grid where the difference between the 2 drivers is that big. Not by a long shot.
Everything he does on the track should be in order to help Max. I'm sure his contract is focussed around that.

Nothing is easy for MAX (bad Honda PU in Canada) but for him it is fun and the MAX factor should count tomorrow even in the dry.

At this point, yes, he should be out there ensuring everyone behind stays there and elbows out wide enough to make sure they find their way into errors. Hoping to see some rain tomorrow too and some chaos up front so Max can breeze up to a win. A Nor DNF would be great right about now...but then again he's only fast when the car is. His skill doesnt make a car like Max can and does, rather the car makes him.

Just read that Ted Kravitz was having a dig at MAX for the Hungary collision with LEW. The dope has no idea what he is talking about and another HAM fan who knows nothing

There's a reason why RB at one point completely stopped talking to Kravitz for about half a year on end.
That guy is the biggest sack of walking butthurt in the paddock...he lives for the moment when he can say something bad about others. Not a very good characteristic for a professional reporter.

What is the weather forecast for tomorrow? Knowing Spa, "all of the above" is an acceptable answer.
