Let's see within 2 hours for the real thing in QF ..

As usual ,I wouldn't trust the Wolf's sandbagging !

How it looks like currently ? If they want to beat MAX , then HAM's PU needs more warp-speed in the Mexico high altitude .

Ain't no good for the Merc's ICE micro-cracks !

Yeah . And HAM said yesterday : MAX must show more respect for me !
In other words : It was about the middle finger incident at COTA ...

I was thinking ...More respect ? Right ! Like in Silverstone at the Copse Turn !

Checo was very fast in FP-3 ! Well done Checo !

Think we can (finally) speak of a Red Bull race strategy ...

yeah would be interesting to see if the sluggish pace of MB is for real or a smokescreen.

It would be nice to see Checo get the pole for his home audience.

yco · 11-06-2021, 01:41 PM

looks like this weekend wont be that hard for Red Bulls.. lets see the quali..

Pools are actually pee-bassins .In other words : I'm a lake swimmer !
In summer I swim the lenght of the Bütgenbach lake , and of course I have to return as well . So actually the lenght of 1.864 miles X 2 = 6 km or 3.72 miles .
BTW : The Bütgenbach lake is +/- 25 min. from the Francorchamps track .
Can't do it now in winter , my a$$ would freeze !
In this lake ,a cramp in your leg and you're gone man ....In the depth of 18 meters ! (60 feet)

Nice try, I'll give you the dirty water award. But I once swam the length of the English Channel (21 miles) in high school just for the hell of it

+ Full scholarship to college. Easily 5 to 7 miles a day for practice

Your swim does look amazing

F87source · 11-06-2021, 02:31 PM

Looks like the rb16b is faster... Faster on an Rb track and faster on a Merc track.

GuidoK · 11-06-2021, 02:33 PM

So apparently the rear wing of Max was defective in FP3. They were working on it, apparently DRS didnt work, but when Max did his teststart from the pitlane there was a shot that something was flabbering and maybe even a piece fell off?)
So my prediction is that Max will get pole, not Checo.
(I don't think there's a MB smokescreen, but we'll know in 1½hr)

Honestly mate , I'm impressed . That sounds really strong !

But a correction is required in your statement ...
The water in the lake is cristal clear . I can see fish swim deep at the bottem ...
Even in summer during a heatwave the water is ice-cold . But everytime I'm feeling re-born ...
This lake is also the practice water for our national triathletes...

Yeah .The lake looks really amazing . It's part of the Belgian Ardennes .
Love to drive with my ///M out there ,can push it there to the red-line. She's made for to drive through the Ardennes curvy forest roads !

M5Rick · 11-06-2021, 03:13 PM

Session stopped as Lance S crashes, front and back damage.

Indeed .Same situation as at COTA .At COTA , MAX got a crack in his rear wing .
WOW ! Bad crash from Stroll and a Red Flag ! Looks like a game over ...

Techs are inspecting Checo's rear wing also.

The Mexican fans are going wild at partying and not very worried about the delay.
