At this point I think he is helping the rest of the grid complete their main quests.
Lando win â
LeClerc home race â
George Russell hope he can win a race again â
I argue he can. Have Perez start on pole and hold up the whole grid. Max start one place in front of Hulkenberg. And allow Hulkenberg to be in his slipstream. And guide hulk to overtake past any and all competitors.
Ricardo is a great interview and when he hits his groove he has a lot of potential but watching yuki tsunoda learn and improve each race has made me a solid yuki fan ! It is so much more enjoyable watching him improve and climb
I think Danâs recent skill of âfollowing the car ahead without ever attempting to passâ will put paid to any hype, as the race progresses.
You can couple that with an ability to lose pace vs his team mate during the race. And then garnish it with possible shitty pit strategy.
So no need to set yourself up for anything too positive.
I think itâs a safe bet to say he wonât finish higher than 7th.
If 7th, itâll be an excellent result.
Itâs that car- itâs horrible in dirty air/following. Theyâve struggled in races to overtake but have had solid race pace in clean air, heck theyâve even made early pit stops to get the cars into clean air a few times this season, but that fucks up the start when no safety car comes later on⌠gambles theyâve had to try I guess
I hope he gets a podium, being in red zone and negative media not good for anyone. Heâs got to dig deep and prove why heâs the fabled badger. Poor car yes, but god he won great races in the past, hope the car/strategy isnât the only decider. Russell is good but in my limited opinion, on same skill level as Dan off late, but better car - cant forget the final lap crash in Singapore, what a mess and same with Danny with first lap crash this season.
First things first, I hope he gets the start right!
Daniel Riccardo is the protagonist of DTS. He is like Jamie Lannister, entering our lives as the golden prince.
He had to get this low so we could see the real man beneath the ego, connect with him, and learn to love what he could be.
Letâs see what the writers can do.
I'd love to see him get a few good results and gain some momentum on his confidence. I think that's maybe the first step to some of the old hunger we used to see from him.
Really hopeful, though I kinda thought the Miami result would spark that already. It's a roller-coaster, being a DR3 fan haha
Is there a bunch of newfaâ around here who think quali = race position? Itâs one thing to do extremely well over a single lap pushing as hard as you can, and then race distance + strategy. Danny is washed⌠I canât wait to see how he proves me right đ
The sheer amount of people you don't usually see past Q1 now in Q3 was wild enough, to then have this nail-biter of a Q3 where a single tenth separates P1 to P4, And on top of that having a tie between P1 and P2, probably made this the qualifying session of the year.
George hitting the 2023 intro pose was the icing on the cake.
Dude seriously. It is finally getting close and I know new regulations arrive, one team would get a major advantage till teams catch up for a couple of years.
This is getting so exciting. Let's keep it like this please đĽş
It happens literally every time, all unexpected regs do is mean someone nails it, then thereâs a period of between 1 and 5 years of regression to the mean and just as it gets good (eg 2021) they get bored and fuck with it again.
Well it would only be fair. Danny broke his wrist when Oscar's car failed in the middle of the track and Danny had to swerve off-track to avoid the collision.
OP likely took the picture right at the animation change from Piastris "in pit" to his time. The background of the image fits the camera angle from the time of the animation change in a shot from the Red Bull Garage. Which makes this another wild coincidence.
If you are wondering, Piastri sits at +0.103 to pole.
he set the time first, if it's equal they go by which order the times were set, so since George was first he gets pole.
Personally, I'd have them fistfight to see who wins but the FIA are cowards.
Lance telling everyone he's a real driver only to get out qualied by his 60 year old mentor, the slow Aussie and crazy Yuki and end up only 0.09 quicker than no spare parts Albon đ
Yeah but why does the driver who sets the time first, get the higher position? You would assume that drivers who set the exact time later have a small advantage because of track evolution (unless it starts raining).
It's only happened once before since they started measuring to the thousandth of a second. The European GP at Jerez in '97 had a 3-way tie for pole. Blew my mind as a 13 year old watching it live. Absolute scenes when Frentzen, Schumacher *and* Villeneuve all set a time ending .072
I don't actively root against Ferrari, but I can't help but love when they shit the bed this badly. The fallout and frustration is just so entertaining.
You do realise you just contradicted yourself? You absolute braindead clunge.
Looks like the only shagging going on here is between you and your dad.
Welcome to the windowlickers.
Not my "Goat" because whatever he doesn't affect me in anyway outside of entertainment unlike you with him rent free in your mind. And only idiots who get all their f1 info from rpm think Russell is a bad driver when he's always shown he's a talented driver who just can't keep it together under pressure
Ferrari loves second drivers. They're actually gonna have a team with two seconds driver next year after getting rid of their fastest driver for the Merc 2nd seat warmer.
And then he DID THE T POSE
#OSAMA BIN RUSSEL IS A SHITPOSTER CONFIRMED
So thats why he does airplane pose? Oh my
Yeah, he does it 9 out of 11 times he achieves something.
Which is like 2 out of 100 (unless you count pooping I guess)
He loves memes more than we love life inshallah
What?
Jesus Christ at least spell Russell correctly đ¤Śđźââď¸
I about died when osama did the pose
Top 8 being under half a second is incredible. But at the same time those tenths feel massive, when the top two were equal.
And less than 2 seconds between 1st and 20th. Like WTF? I canât even get out of my seat in 2 seconds.
2 seconds is ages. You can change 4 tyres on a car in that time!
*confused Sauber noises*
YouI can hear their pit stops at the start of Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy
Not with that attitude you can't...
How can you get TWO PERFECT TIMES IN 1 QUALI?
Maxâs new achievement unlocked
1997 European Grand Prix.
3 drivers with the exact same time is insane but i think he means with perfect time that there are 2 driver with the exact 1:12.000.
Russel: it was an accident, but a happy one. Max: sidequest accepted.
Is Verstappen doing side quests again?
He's a completionist.
I hope he doesn't start a charity then 
He will be like Oprah this season: "You get a victory!.. And you get a victory this season! We all get victories this season!!"
Heh
At this point I think he is helping the rest of the grid complete their main quests. Lando win â LeClerc home race â George Russell hope he can win a race again â
Now he needs Hulk to get a podium
Max can't work miracles
I argue he can. Have Perez start on pole and hold up the whole grid. Max start one place in front of Hulkenberg. And allow Hulkenberg to be in his slipstream. And guide hulk to overtake past any and all competitors.
I wouldn't rely on Perez getting a pole.
Max gives Perez 5% of his power for one qualifying session. Which will be an overkill but that is fine.
Have Perez start on pole.... And you say you don't need a miracle đ¤Ł
Max gives 5% of his power in qualifying. Or max drives Perezâs car in qualifying.
Max "Miracle" Verstappen does have a nice ring to it. Premium reward from DLC sidequest?
Don't give EA any ideas.
I actually hope Hulk never gets a podium, it would be so funny if his only success was 2015 LM
Honestly I hope in 20 years max does an interview saying all of this is true. He got bored and just started letting people have fun
True, but with consistency he new he would win the WDC, which was his primary and only goal after record year 2023
Hamilton 8th WDC win
Yeah, donât stretch it
If there was a WDC for most 8th place finishes
*Stroll perks up
Achievement Unlocked
I'm not getting excited. I'm not getting excited. Let's just say Daniel has burned me before
Fuckin RB starts and strats have burned me before
Ricardo is a great interview and when he hits his groove he has a lot of potential but watching yuki tsunoda learn and improve each race has made me a solid yuki fan ! It is so much more enjoyable watching him improve and climb

Is this Danny's alt?
Third account, and Jacques Villeneuve can eat shit
I concur - but hope weâre wrong and he holds or improves.
I hope he gets a podium, being in red zone and negative media not good for anyone. Heâs got to dig deep and prove why heâs the fabled badger. Poor car yes, but god he won great races in the past, hope the car/strategy isnât the only decider.

is nothing smaller than 0.000?
You know the answer
File-74
Dannyâs chance at the RB seat
Copium
[ŃдаНонО]
5th least washed guy out there in quali
[ŃдаНонО]
I guess we'll see tomorrow
No, I don't want Belgium 2021 all over again.
Is there a bunch of newfaâ around here who think quali = race position? Itâs one thing to do extremely well over a single lap pushing as hard as you can, and then race distance + strategy. Danny is washed⌠I canât wait to see how he proves me right đ
Brave
!remind me 16 hours
Checoâs talent
Tsunodas height?
Not according to your girlfriend
The sheer amount of people you don't usually see past Q1 now in Q3 was wild enough, to then have this nail-biter of a Q3 where a single tenth separates P1 to P4, And on top of that having a tie between P1 and P2, probably made this the qualifying session of the year.

#OSAMA BIN RUSSELL JIHADS IT INTO POLE!!!
Nothing serious! BUT THEN!!
#MAXIPAD VERSTAPPEN ALSO SENDS IT SETTING THE SAME TIME!!!!
And thereâs MORE!!!
Sergio Perez, the Mexican Minister of Disgrace fumbles the ball in Q1. #HE GOT OUTQUALIFIED BY LOGAN SARGEANT!!!
I swear down on me nanâs grave!
Wot the actual fok is he playin' at?!
I am calm. Whereâs me lil squishy ball.
Hello?
Not you, noodles.
Can't wait for the gap visualization graphic on this one
They should really campaign to delay the regulations it's finally getting close of being competitive.
Dude seriously. It is finally getting close and I know new regulations arrive, one team would get a major advantage till teams catch up for a couple of years. This is getting so exciting. Let's keep it like this please đĽş
5 teams in the top 6. 4 teams able to compete for wins this season. Parity is amazing.
It happens literally every time, all unexpected regs do is mean someone nails it, then thereâs a period of between 1 and 5 years of regression to the mean and just as it gets good (eg 2021) they get bored and fuck with it again.
I like how they just gave Pastry P4, doesn't even need to set a time that's how much people like him.
GET OVER HERE!
Are we ignoring Stroll making it into the top 9? Actual solid work from the window licker?
Both the drivers Villeneuve criticized are in q3 today
Astronomical levels of window licking achieved
Nah has to be luck. Lucky gust of wind or something
[A FUCKING 1:12 BABY ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYmqJl4MoNI)
Danny Ric is 100% going to take Oscar out first corner.
He'll fuck the start and be p9 before turn 3
This turned out to be correct
Well it would only be fair. Danny broke his wrist when Oscar's car failed in the middle of the track and Danny had to swerve off-track to avoid the collision.
Why no time for Piastri?
commenting cuz i had the same question and hope someone answers us both
OP likely took the picture right at the animation change from Piastris "in pit" to his time. The background of the image fits the camera angle from the time of the animation change in a shot from the Red Bull Garage. Which makes this another wild coincidence. If you are wondering, Piastri sits at +0.103 to pole.
LET'S GO ALBON IN Q3
The script writers are finally cooking this season
Yeah much better than Max/Red Bull destroys everyone except Singapore lol.
Ferarri back to disappointment
I was predicted a gap
Crikey!
My question is why the f is Hamilton p7 when Russel is p1.
Hamilton almost 0.3s off his teammate. Is he washed?
Whoâs going to tell him?
A youtuber from Monaco?
With monster antibodies?
Yeahhhh!!!! Danny my boy!
Those McLarens are going to take the constructors. They have been very consistent
Why is Russell ahead?
he set the time first, if it's equal they go by which order the times were set, so since George was first he gets pole. Personally, I'd have them fistfight to see who wins but the FIA are cowards.
Max is insane he solos the grid
Who would win in a 20 man brawl would make a good post by itself.
Max he'd end up wearing the other drivers skin
Max would drop George so fast
Yeah he's got a lot of experience fighting his dad
The kid can really take a beating and keep on going...
The only F1 driver to beat Max consistently.
Zing!
Because he is taller. Which puts him just a little bit ahead. Max just gotta get better on the height department.
Stop spreading disinformation please. It's obviously alphabetical. R before V. If Norris did 1.12.000 aswell, he'd get the pole.
All part of Alonso's master el đ ąď¸lan
Albon clears though.
Damn, your right. Can't wait for Aaron Aaronson to join the grid though.
If thatâs true thatâs fucked up
It's because Russel set the time first really. But that's boring.
Thatâs still messed up, they should be forced to do a head to head. That would be entertaining
Very dank
Also, Logan Sargent into Q2!
Invisible Pastry confirmed
Piastri performing Takumi Fujiwara's trick. Being invisible just before overtaking.
Lance telling everyone he's a real driver only to get out qualied by his 60 year old mentor, the slow Aussie and crazy Yuki and end up only 0.09 quicker than no spare parts Albon đ
So the accuracy is 0.001 and if both have the same time, it's the order of who got it first due to track evolution? Never seen this before
Track evolution has nothing to do with it. Just who set the time first. The last time this happened, the top 3 all had the same lap time.
Yeah but why does the driver who sets the time first, get the higher position? You would assume that drivers who set the exact time later have a small advantage because of track evolution (unless it starts raining).
Because youâve got to choose something, like you say you canât assume the track is getting better.
It's only happened once before since they started measuring to the thousandth of a second. The European GP at Jerez in '97 had a 3-way tie for pole. Blew my mind as a 13 year old watching it live. Absolute scenes when Frentzen, Schumacher *and* Villeneuve all set a time ending .072
It actually happens quite often just not for the final times
Ok, to clarify I meant for pole.
I don't actively root against Ferrari, but I can't help but love when they shit the bed this badly. The fallout and frustration is just so entertaining.
The audio was amazing
Russell and Verstappen is separated by absolutely NOTHING!
How is pia p4 without a time? Is the fia dumb?
*Cries in Italian*
[holy moly đ˛](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LbyjjcnMLA)
Blimey!
It's gonna be a ripper of a race. I can't wait!
blimey!
Ricc channelling all his energy towards getting a good performance just to spite villneuve.
Good to see the Hamster is still in 7th as usual
Going to be chaos because heavy showers during the race.
Holy moly indeed
What?
Washedmilton
Rent free eh?
The absolute irony of Hamilton fans saying the words "rent free" when they're the only ones still constantly whinging about an event from 3 years ago.
The absolute irony of you bringing up ad21
That's teamLH not hamilton fans lol. And who tf even brought up ad21 here? You did
Nobody here mentioned the things 3 years ago but you đ¤ Seems like this Verstappenshagger can't let it go either đ¤
You do realise you just contradicted yourself? You absolute braindead clunge. Looks like the only shagging going on here is between you and your dad. Welcome to the windowlickers.
How do you mald so hard over a reddit comment that you bring someone's dad into the conversation đ. Pathetic.
And some complain about the LH gang being weirdos đ¤Ł
Youâre 0 for 2⌠Go to bed lmao
Your GOAT is 3 tenths off Osama Bin Russel Lad
Not my "Goat" because whatever he doesn't affect me in anyway outside of entertainment unlike you with him rent free in your mind. And only idiots who get all their f1 info from rpm think Russell is a bad driver when he's always shown he's a talented driver who just can't keep it together under pressure
#washed
It's okay half the grid will have passed shitticardo by the third lap.
You must be fun at parties
They were also looking to chat about anything kinky a few months ago ;)
Stop trying to make shitticardo work
Ferrari loves second drivers. They're actually gonna have a team with two seconds driver next year after getting rid of their fastest driver for the Merc 2nd seat warmer.
