Just finished watching the sprint race and race qualifying.
Hammy drove a fantastic Sprint, managing his tyres and keeping his head cool.
Max cooked his tyres trying to pass HAM and just had to let PIA pass in the end. It's the way things go.
But man...I wouldn't want to be in LAW shoes right now. Terrible sprint, terrible race qualifying.
And TSU...I wonder if he'll be faster in a RB. The VCARB looks like a decent car right now, and either the RB is slow and Max is just leages ahead of everyone, or the RB is just crazy tricky and only Max can deal with it...because he's Max.
I must say I expected more from LEC, being the qualifying specialist he once was. It's not his weekend seemingly.
And the Mercedes just looks good. The race speed still isn't really 100% there I think, despite RUS getting a front row qualifying, but tyredeg looked really good for both RUS and ANT in the sprint race. I think MERC might improve speedwise this year if they can keep that tyredeg.
And ANT for sure is a welcome addition to the grid. He's fast and he's pretty consistent. He might become a future WDC.
Interesting times.
