sebs post quali radio, hopefully we get translation

People bashing on Kimi, he did almost the exact same lap time as Seb and Lewis on first run.. Seb just got everything on his 2nd run.. It was a very close qualy.. It's a shame HAM is in P3 with regards to the championship ofcourse

[mwk360]

Raikkonen: "I guess if we know all the answers we would not talk about it. We struggled with the tyres to get them to work."
Raikkonen: "If you not sure how the tyres will work into Turn 1 then you not comfortable. We are not 100% happy with what happened."

Well, the times were more as I predicted them to be in Q3. But pole was even quicker than I thought. There's nothing to do against Ricciardo if he doesn't make a mistake and bins it. Great lap by Seb during his last try. Too bad Kimi couldn't beat Lewis. If Bottas doesn't jump anyone at the start he shouldn't be a factor. Nice to have Mad Max out of the hunt. We should be quicker than Merc in race trim so following a Merc in worst case sceanrio should be easy and we should pull away if the positions are swapped. This can basicly end anyway from a 2-3 to a 3-5 for us. That's a big difference in points.

[DelMar]

Sry I don’t agree with it, mercs is 3rd fastest on this circuit. Kimi’s 2nd run he made a mistake.

Hamilton also had a bad second lap in Q3. He left about two tenths in the last sector compared to his first run. Merc and us were neck and neck here.

[Christopher]

Bottas just said Merc could only do 7 laps on the hypers in race trim on Thursday which is why they tried to qualify on Ultras in Q2

[Vettel165]

Do you think its possible for Vettel to pass Ricciardo at the start? I think its gonna be nearly impossible.
In 2014 though Seb managed to pass Ricciardo on the start from the dirty side of the track.

Will see.

About today I can say, fantastic performance by Daniel, he deserved that one. Crazy pole lap.

If Merc n US are neck n neck here. Then vet’s lap is the best one.

With wider cars with its tyres. It’s almost impossible. If he tires it’s bit risky & someone’s wing gonna come off

great job by Kimi today...

Any time he can beat any of the RB's or Mercs in Qualy he's done a great job.

Now, if he can only beat some of them in the race tmrw...

It’s not called bashing. If vet need to win championship, see what bottas has done last year to help Hamilton. Take some wins or points off ham by finishing ahead of him. Which is not happening.

[Greig]

But +3 pts ahead isn’t a good finish.
Kimi should have been there atleast.

Did I miss the race?

[512 TR]

If given a 2-3 right now with a win for Ricciardo, would you take it? That would be atleast 11 points more than Merc here in Monaco and maximum 16 points behind in the WCC.

[ScuderiaBuckeye]

Someday you will discover reality.

Kimi is, hands down, the SLOWEST driver in the top 6 seats in F1.

It's. Not. Even. Close.

[stefa]

I was not able to watch Q today, and I won't be able to see race tomorrow as I will be flying back to Belgrade from London. I saw results. How bad we are?

[DelMar]

These are the best sector times for Seb and Lewis
Vettel.... 18.674 33.443 18.922
Hamilton 18.594 33.446 19.061

i.e. S1: +0.080 S2: -0.003 S3: -0.139 Total: -0.062

Not sure how you can see the results then ask how bad we are?

[DelMar]

and you are asking why :))) A zebra does not change his spots.

[nani_s23]

Did I miss the race?

Not yet..!! More to come.

We are not bad. RB is good.

So Ferrari sacrificed Monaco track for other tracks adv.

[Vettel165]

Yeah I would take this with ease.

In race yes..!! In quali, he’s doing good in q1,q2... but not replicating the same in q3.

[DelMar]

Probably a natural consequence of the longer wheelbase this year.

[nani_s23]

Yeah I would take this with ease.

If mad max was there would u take 3-4 finish of Ferrari ??

So do u think kimi will jump ham???

[Vettel165]

If mad max was there would u take 3-4 finish of Ferrari ??

Well probably also.

[Michal2_F1]

Do you think Merc is going to suffer with HS tomorrow? They tried to use US in Q2 but were too slow and complained about them a lot on Thursday. No other team tried US in Q.

[stefa]

Not sure how you can see the results then ask how bad we are?

It was just a matter of speach. Did not have anything bad in mind... However I was expecting more.... But race is tomorrow and 2nd is not that bad, but on the other hand it is bloody Monaco.
