**elnano14** · 27th May 2023, 14:25

We hit 1'12s yesterday...
*** happened to our cars ???

**tifosi1993** · 27th May 2023, 14:26

Charles will do double cool down laps, then one more push.

**tifosi1993** · 27th May 2023, 14:30

That wasn't a good Q1 int terms of management, so much little mistakes and miscommunication.

**tifosi1993** · 27th May 2023, 14:31

Only Charles, Max and Alo used one set of softs in Q1.

**PURE PASSION** · 27th May 2023, 14:32

Sainz was on new softs in the end ??

**WS6TransAm01** · 27th May 2023, 14:32

Oooohhhh GOD , even Alpine is faster then us ????!!!!!!

**PURE PASSION** · 27th May 2023, 14:50

we just dont have the pace!!
we cant fine tune the car

**tifosi1993** · 27th May 2023, 15:10

Damn it. So close. Well done to Alonso and Charles.

**tifosi1993** · 27th May 2023, 15:11

Max.....

**tifosi1993** · 27th May 2023, 15:12

That's why Max is special. Same as Charles. But unlike RB, Ferrari is unable to give him a rocket ship.

**WS6TransAm01** · 27th May 2023, 15:13

Made up 3 tenths in the last sector to take poll.

Wow.

**patrese86** · 27th May 2023, 15:13

Great effort from Charles. Max two tenths down into the last sector. The 3 best drivers on the grid are top 3.

**elnano14** · 27th May 2023, 15:14

We set the time too early I think
After Leclerc finnished his lap there are still 1'20s left lol

Max tapped the wall on that flying lap.

**PURE PASSION** · 27th May 2023, 15:16

Yep!! Max's was an epic lap !!!! Alo took 100% from the car AND Lec took 110% from that bad car !!!!

Yup thanks to ferrari giving a degraded car to Leclerc from last year.

Last years car was a beast in the hands of Leclerc on this track. He was absolutely flying, not struggling like this years car. I feel sad for Leclerc, winning at home is a special feel which he’s been waiting for long time.

**TTRSMAD** · 27th May 2023, 15:25

Hope Leclerc doesn't get a penalty.

**faloupas** · 27th May 2023, 15:26

Charles blocked Norris...probably a penalty...car is nowhere as both drivers...

Yeah, I saw that. We wait. Hopefully they didn't see it.

**tifosi1993** · 27th May 2023, 15:27

Charles's engineer is just stupid. Didn't tell him Lando was on a hot lap. He will get a 3 place grid drop.

**tifosi1993** · 27th May 2023, 15:30

It's a slam dunk penalty. Norris nearly crashed into him.

But Charles's so called engineer should get the blame here, didn't inform him at all that Norris was behind on a hot lap.

**PURE PASSION** · 27th May 2023, 15:36

this team ,when they screw it ,they do it BIG TIME !!!

**tifosi1993** · 27th May 2023, 15:37

Many, myself included, have been saying it over and over again that Charles needs a solid pit wall. His side of the garage isn't up to the task.

It didn't make any sense that they gave Sainz Vettel's more experienced race team and gave Charles a rookie race engineer aka Xavi. And after 5 years, this guy is still making mistakes that costing Charles dearly.

It’s Ferrari, what do you expect. Sabotaging your faster driver is kind of a trademark.
