Hamilton P18 after getting his best lap time deleted...
6 0 ReplyGutting but really happy they're being so on it with track limits this weekend (saying this as a devout fan of Lewis)
6 0 ReplyNot a big fan of track limits, but at least they are quick and seemingly consistent with the deletions.

Still not a fan of this weekend structure as this will probably just be like qualifying yesterday anyways
7 1 ReplyAgreed. I had an open mind for the sprint format but I'm just not liking it so far
3 0 ReplyThey should replace it with something similar to how qualifying works in Formula E or a One-Lap shootout

Sprints just dont work in F1. In MotoGP the sprint is already for me the better product. But cars are just not made for sprint racing
3 0 ReplyAlready quite different.
1 0 ReplyYeah not a fan either. I think it’s a little better than last seasons sprint setup, but still fairly dogshit

With the track drying up, timing the last lap (and stay inside track limits) will be extremely important.
5 0 ReplyBoth Haas in SQ3
5 0 ReplyI don't understand haas, sometime they look very good at qualifying but rarely they materialise in the race. Hope they will one day be as good at race as they are at qualifying.
1 0 ReplyThey just suck at tire management

Absolutely unacceptable from Ferrari already. If I wasn’t so trained by the pain I’d punch a wall.
5 0 ReplyThey are through to SQ2...Still time to punch more holes
3 0 ReplyIt’s takes a lot for me to get that mad with Ferrari nowadays. It’s too expected.

Sorry, what is a "Sprint Shootout"?
Did I miss that in previous races or is this (one of) the first time this event is held?Will only a subset of drivers get to attend the sprint race? But if so, couldn't the qualifying results be used for that?
4 0 ReplyThe sprint is a new standalone race, on it some weekends this year. Qualifying for the race was yesterday, everything today is sprint. The shootout is open to everyone, it's qualifying for the sprint race later, which is 20 laps or 60 mins. Top eight I think? get extra points
2 0 ReplyIt's a shorter qualifying session for the sprint race later today. I think that's the main difference, there's also suppose to be some tire restrictions but they ditched that today because of the wet conditions.
2 0 ReplyQualifying to the sprint race later today. It's something new for this year. I think this is the second race week to feature this kind of qualifying.
2 0 ReplyThe weekend structure being tested this weekend looks like this:
Friday: Normal Qualifying for sunday's race Saturday morning: Sprint Shootout (Quali for Sprint) Saturday afternoon: Sprint (mini-race) Sunday: Race
So its basically a mini quali+race on saturday which... idk

Both Haas drivers in Q3
4 0 ReplyAn Russell doesn't set a time in Q2. Awful qualy for Mercedes
4 0 ReplyI was able to turn now, how is Ferrari going?
3 0 ReplyIt was a good qualy or shootout whatever it’s named
2 0 ReplyI agree, I think the shorter sessions make it a lot more interesting
2 0 Reply
When will they begin shooting each other? Just here for the shootout
2 0 ReplyI really don’t care about the sprint format. It doesn’t add anything and just seems forced
2 0 ReplyWhat will happen tomorrow if drivers repeatedly exceed limits? Penalties all round?
2 0 ReplyYes? But since they arent pushing as much there will be way less penalties
2 0 ReplyThat true, could still be interesting

1 0 ReplySprint race finishing order having an impact on main race makes it worthwhile.
Sprint race as it stands is just pointless.

1 0 ReplyWhat happened with that Haas in the box? Did it run something over?
1 0 ReplyIt ran over its own old rear tire
1 0 ReplyWoof.

WTF is going on!? Can't we just have the sprint instead of whatever this is...
1 1 ReplyIts the quali for the sprint? The sprint is happening later
6 0 ReplyAh okay, I thought it was fine when the actual qualifying determined sprint starting order.
1 0 Reply
People got annoyed when the sprint race impacted the actual race so they changed it.
Now Friday qualification is for Sunday’s grid. Saturday quali is for the Sprint grid.
Personally I enjoy seeing two qualifying sessions with cars on the limit instead of practices.
