P9... is still in Q3!! And he improved on the final lap!! We take what we can πͺπͺ
Ed sheeran? At the Miami GP? It's more likely than you'd think.
Max Verstappen references are everywhere if you look for them (the 33 on Chase Atlantic's sax player's jersey)
Seeing people genuinely be so happy for Zhou after he scored Sauber's first points of the season warms my heart so much. He's suffered so much scrutiny and pressure, being Chinese but also just being stuck in a bad car and not being able to show much performance. I've also never really heard him mentioned outside of his crash, his back marker-ing or at the Chinese GP, so I'm glad he's getting his moment :)
10 milliseconds off of Q3β¦ Lowkey devastating but we do what we can π«
Q2
Out: Gasly, Albon, Stroll, Ocon, Perez (P15-11)
Tsunoda goes third fastest, Daniel Ricciardo makes it into Q3 just barely (less than a tenth faster than Perez in P11, who had an unfortunate bump on the first chicane)
Verstappen and Leclerc exchange fastest time after fastest time
Q1
Out: Sergeant, Alonso, Magnussen, Zhou, Bottas (P20 to P16)
Oscar Piastri investigated for impeding on Magnussen
Logan Sargeant's lap time deleted for track limits, drops from P17 to P20 :(
Hulkenberg goes third fastest
Both Williams and Alonso hit the gravel, turn 18 also almost caught out Verstappen and Norris
Both Alpines and RBs into Q2!!
Verstappen went fastest in Q1 in the last few seconds
"I prefer it at the front." - Daniel Ricciardo after the sprint
RICNATION WE ARE SO BACK!!!!
WAIT WE'RE SO BACK
Got AusGP tickets this week and was excited for Melbourne walk since I wanted to get Zhou's signature before I remembered he probably won't have a seat for 2025... π₯²π₯²
Didn't get a video but here's Lewis's post-race interview speech:
"Since 2021 Ive just, everyday, getting up trying to fight to train to put my mind to the task and work as hard as i can with this amazing team. And this is my last race here at the British Grand Prix with this team. So i wanted to win this so much for them, because I love them, I appreciate them so much because of all the hard work they've been putting in all these years. I'm very grateful to everyone in this team everyone at Mercedes and all our partners, and otherwise to all our incredible fans. I can see you lap by lap as I was coming round and there's just no greater feeling than to finish at the front."
"A big big thank you to everyone back at the factory and here. I love you guys, god bless you."
