Russian GP 2020: Practices and Qualifying

[Tifoso Svedese]

This years Mercedes engine is fast as last years Ferrari engine.

Bottas 33.360 in the sector 1, Hamilton 31.599 in the sector 2, pretty scary, considering it's still Q2 and they can't turn up the engine yet as they used to.

Obvious foul play and the maFIA is complicit.

[Tifoso Svedese]

Looked like Hammy missed by half a second, this needs to be thoroughly investigated. That being said, the FIA will just say any such suggestions is bigoted or whatevs. The clock was at 0.00 before he hit the line.

Leclerc P11, I'm not that upset about the result. He will get a free choice of tyres tomorrow.

[Timpolidori]

Hamilton 4th quickest from pretty much a standing start. It's a miracle

I bet Hamilton will still end up on pole and win the race

yeah, it was close

[tifosi1993]

I hear ya

In Seb's defense though, alot of drivers have spun their cars in free practice's.....plus the sausage kerbs don't help.

Of course, it was a typical mistake in this track. He clipped the inside curve, spun and crashed. Has happened before and will happen again.

Is Charles upset about the gap to Q3 or did something else happen?

what happened to Lec?? Why so angry ??

Clearly in by 1.25 seconds.

Then what would say about Renault? Not as fast as Mercedes in the sector 1 but faster in the sector 3 and equally fast in the sector 2. Another example of foul play...or yet another example of hard work?

I think because of this

On his lap he was really too close to Kvyat, impossible to improve

[tifosi1993]

He had traffic ahead of him. Couldn't do a lap in clean air.

[tifosi1993]

WOW Ricciardo.

[tifosi1993]

Hamilton smashing Bottas here. Nearly 8 tenths ahead. Bottas under pressure from Max and Dani Ric

Put a potato in a Merc and it would beat Bottas

I wouldn't say they didn't get hurt either. Quali gap was ~ 1+ second compared to Redbull.

What a nightmare of year is this ??? We are SO bad ,we are doing every single mistake it can be done and on top of that almost everybody else are doing exeptional job !!!!!!!!

Mercedes 2020 vs Mercedes 2019

Sector 1: 33.337 vs 33.749 (-0.412)

Sector 2: 33.330 vs 31.518 (-0.188)

Sector 3: 26.544 vs 26.705 (-0.161)


Ferrari 2020 vs Ferrari 2019

Sector 1: 33.333 vs 33.967 (-0.634)

Sector 2: 31.319 vs 32.254 (-0.935)

Sector 3: 26.939 vs 27.018 (-0.079)

Pretty clear indication of our power deficit. The current car with the low downforce compromise setup is less that a tenth slower than last years car in the final sector. I have zero doubt that, with last years engine, Leclerc either would've been on pole or very close to pole.
