Not even a hot lap started in Q2 and another Red Flag.

I think this Q will take longer than most races in 2025.. Had so many red flags, and cars in the hedge.. Maybe postpone Q3 to Sunday..

Sainz into the top 10!

Dang Alonso out, Lewis out …

You cannot make this up...

A new record... 6 red flags... and a 2 hour Q session...

UNREAL!

Dammit Oscar

Carlos still on pole !!

lol

 

[CWallace]

In terms of run time, this qualifying session has been longer than the race at Monza.

Gotta give it to Max. Simply the best.

Still, Sainz and Lawson have to be happy in 2nd and 3rd.

Watch him sneak up and win the WDC

Way to go Carlos !!

Craziest Q3 I’ve ever seen. Max starting his run towards his 5th WDC. 😉

Dammit Oscar

Double slam for Oscar.

McLaren’s strategy of favoring Lando will come come back to bite them in the *** while Max starts his run. It’s nice for the newer fans to see that the Championship Leader isn’t always the best drive on the track. 😉

I have seen crazy in 30 yrs of broadcasting, but this is insane.. Wow, Baku is going to go down as an insane track..
This reminds me of Canada 2011, that race was over 5 hours, and insane 3 times.. It had everything, pretty sure there was a sink involved.. Today we had everything.. Not boring!!!

With a new 4yr contract……

 

[JustinePaula]

If only we could convince FIA/F1/Monaco to run controflow. That way the track makes sense and Monaco becomes actually a great track... But we cannot have nice things..

 

[CWallace]

Esteban Ocon has been excluded from Qualifying for failing the rear wing deflection test. I presume this means a Pit Lane start?

Under their silly team rules they now have to pull back Norris to make things fair and equal.

You’re going to see Webber get more involved in this. He and Oscar had quite the sit down with Stella and Brown after Monza.

 

[pachyderm]

I think we are going to see one of the sloppiest/messy starts we've seen in a long while ...

And red flags galore today!

 

[JustinePaula]

I hope not, red flags instead of 10 parade laps? Which is better/worse? We have only 51 laps to play with, and waste 20 of them with dull parades at limping snail's pace.. No thank you..
