Now Hamilton out in Q2
Good for Ferrari
Yes, actually. Race will be interesting.
Looks like it’ll be super exciting. With Norris and Piastri putting themselves in P2 and P3 for now so they could overtake Aston Martin after all.
Norris could get pole, the way he’s driving
He gave it everything, took the risks and paid the price. So hard to drop so mich after that effort, but no doubt he’ll be strong in the race tomorrow.
I’m pretty sure he’ll drive a great race. The car looks fast. He was really pissed with his quali, because he’s normally really hard on himself, but he shouldn’t. He should just focus on the race and giving his best. I really hope he can win it. He deserves a win, the way he’s been driving this season.
Yeah, he gambled yesterday, but he had such a good shot that it was worth it. There’s no shame in making a mistake when you’re right on the ragged edge. I can’t wait for Piastri to catch up to his level. Mclaren played a blinder sneaking Pia away from Alpine and keeping Norris as their more experienced driver this season.
Piastri has a huge potential. I’ve seen Stella say that he reminds him of Alonso. And we should remember that it’s his rookie year. That pair could become a huge one.
No doubt we have one of the most interesting and talented driver generation in a long time. Let’s hope cars are closer next year and we can enjoy these drivers more.
