That Red Bull is honestly the best paint scheme since the 2011 HRT.

Colapinto is one step closer to a full-time ride as Doohan destroy his car in FP2.

Great to see Yuki running so well.

Q2 results:

Verstappen P3
Hadjar P9
———————
Lawson P14
Tsunoda P15

Yuki’s car was set up with more downforce than Max’s, but the Red Bull still seems like a pig to drive, especially in qualifying.

Verstappen on pole out of nowhere. He’s a magician. Wow!

 

[donthaveanickname]

Max beats both McLarens, incredible.

He's the life insurance for this team, Red Bull is completely screwed if Max leaves for Merc or Aston.

Hadjar with a great run in 7th, Ollie made Q3 while Ocon was out in Q1.

 

[Doc Austin]

We'll see, but can Max hang onto that sled for a whole race?

Ferrari Challenge Japan are currently racing in the wet.

Norris is a clown.

Norris is a clown.

"He forced me off"
Lando just drove straight into the grass.

 

[donthaveanickname]

They desperately need softer tires.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Pretty sure there have now been more team swaps than legitimate overtakes.

 

[FLRacingFan]

If Norris and Piastri were flipped in this scenario, McLaren would’ve already done the swap long ago.

It could have gotten interesting up front, but it never quite did.

Excellent performance this weekend from the

Honker of a race for the most part. An unspectacular 1-stopper, not much drama outside of Verstappen and the McLarens being covered by just a few seconds most of the day.

Masterclass by Max.
The race itself was boring af.
No clue why McLaren didn't try anything on strategy.

 

[Doc Austin]

Typical of Red Bull to complain how bad the cars is, and then dominate the weekend.

Max is really good, as he makes an average car look better than McLaren and Ferrari.

 

[Doc Austin]

Red Bull probably went into shock when they lost Newey, but they certainly seem over it now.

They probably thought they could win on speed but that was a dumb strategy call.
