FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2024
Perez..
Not the time to be beaching the car when there are rumors of you being axed mid-season.
Seemed early to switch to slicks. Don't know who made the decision.
Could it be floor damage for Verstappen?
Edit: Brundle confirms "significant" floor damage
Three brits on top of quali for the first time since 1968, and first time in Silverstone ever..
We truly are in a british age of F1
A Haas out qualifying a Ferrari? Now there's something you don't see every day.
Both ferraris right?
However you want to cut it. KMag out in Q1,LeClerc in Q2.
Oh boy, Sergio beaches in the gravel
Let's fucking gooo, Williams.
Sargeant is out qualifying Perez.
Sargeant is out qualifying Perez.
Is it just me or is this becoming a weekly thing now
He is more often in front of perez than in front of albon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Clever move by Perez. He figured most were going to out qualify him either way, so he placed the car in the gravel trap early to save the engine. /s
Man out here playing 5D chess /s
Perez is having a horrid season. Parking it in the gravel in Q1 is illustrative for how his season is going.
From the Monaco curse to now the post-Monaco curse 💀
Three Brits at the top right now.
Considering the floor damage, Max is still doing pretty well.
Hulk also doing great.
That was unexpected
Crofty going wild!
This is like a wet dream come true for him
Do sky have special sources from the teams¿? The f1tv commentary still aren't confirming that max has damage. How are sky so sure¿?
There was a clear camera shot of a chip missing from the front of one of the fins on the underside of the floor.
Journalists are in Whatsapp broadcast groups handled by the teams. RBR press officer sent a message into his group confirming the floor damage.
Not just a Sky thing, quite a few F1 journos are in those groups.
Damn everybody at red Bull must have had a heart attack for a moment or two
Perez and Ricciardo with the same mistake in the same corner lol (Ricciardo was mucky enough not to beach himself)
And now Max too, something with the RB(R)s in that corner
Wow. That was good.
Is Redbull allowed repair (replace) the floor before the race?
I think you're allowed to repair/swap components as long as they're identical spec. No setup changes, but they should be able to put in a new one.
Short answer is yes, with identical parts otherwise it's a grid drop or pitlane start depending on what is changed and why.
Oof, comparing track dominance between Leclerc and Stroll...
Did Aston bring any downgrades for this weekend ?
They brought Lance Stroll.
Frankly stroll has been matching Alonso the past few weekends. Now might not be the best time for these clever jokes
Damn that is one fight for pole
After getting pole:
Perez: I'm in danger.
Well now both Red Bull drivers have gone through the gravel. At least Max got back on the track
Max is trying to fight against the other drivers, but is fighting against his own floor
@Bademantel@feddit.de did you want rain?
Haha, I'm a fan of changing conditions so I got what I wanted. I'm excited about tomorrow. Did you enjoy it?
Better than expected. Would have actually loved the rain to come as they forecasted, alas.
