Weekends were passing by really boring for me when there wasn't F1. During Free Practice 2, Mercedes drivers looked really fast. Therefore I'm a little confused however I'm still thinking about making my choices from McLaren and Red Bull cars for my podium and pole position picks. If Ferrari shows their free practice performance at the weekend too, Hamilton could regret about the Ferrari contract.

Seems that Max will get penalty - in the end of practice he was overtaking opponents on pit exit and crossed white line. No idea why he made such desperate move - how making fast lap on wet track full of traffic can be reason for it.
Sargeant had one job - deliver car to qualifying without crashing and he failed. That crash looked so amateur, not like it would be F1 driver. Now Williams lost car from qualifying and will have to spend lot of money for repair.
Thanks to Sargeant we watch people dancing in the stands or someone surfing in the sea instead of watching qualifying.

So true! I've waited weekend after weekend for this summer break to end so we can finally watch F1 again.

I'm currently watching F1 qualifiers and once again McLaren is doing an amazing job with Piastri being on 1st place , followed closely by Norris on p2 and on p3 we currently have Leclerc but I have a feeling we might see another podium until Q3 finishes and we also have a very fast Max Verstappen who wants to take pole on home race for sure. For Ferrari ...really hard to say something good about them right ? Maybe this 2nd half of the season will give us a way more reliable Ferrari car who can actually fight for wins and podiums.

I think Ferrari is far from that as shown today in the qualifying by Sainz who were out of the top 10 and this is certainly not a good sign to be having if you are truly fighting or wanting to fight for the wins.In the pool I had Verstappen,Norris,Piastri,it just happen that Norris showed great skill once again but I am not worried I am starting out with the podium already found and hopefully this trio will end in the top three if we have a normal race during tomorrow.Now we are going to have great actions during weekends,as September is here and we have another 9 races in 3 months,that is what I call a tight schedule.

Qualifying was intriguing and nice to watch also. What a great work by Norris!    I believed in him on Superbru too and added him for the pole. He didn't make me sad thankfully.

But he got the pole without big issues at the same time. Verstappen looks like he is still not fast enough. This was one-lap time session of course. Maybe we might watch a more different race but let's see...

Ferrari is still a disgrace.    Sainz saying goodbye in Q2 already and Leclerc getting only 6th place. I don't expect a podium by them. I was surprised with Hamilton the most. How did he finish the session in 12th place? Did he have a problem with the car?

Well... Norris was my selection on Monday, without seeing the practices, something made me think that Max was going for the all-out, I think that +300 thousandths was more enough of a difference to finish second in his home, but anyway, considering how things were looking for RB, I think they came out very well, even with CHECO who did have his mishap, eh, he doesn't give up the bad habit but it was in the practices, so, having him in 5th place will be interesting for those places 4-5-6, I don't see him on the podium again yet.

Hamilton's performance... maybe the "new" ideas from these weeks of vacation were to his car,    I actually saw the post Q interview and they asked him; "you had more weight (gasoline), HAmilton: "we ran everything the same, we just had a different setup, and it didn't work out...(blah, blah,or, etc,etc,)"

Shame to see Hamilton getting grid penalty and he is starting from lower position, but this gives more chances to Verstappen and other drivers.
Great result for team McLaren in qualifications and Norris has good chance to win the race if he remains cool headed.
My tip is on Verstappen to win, but it depends on weather that afffected qualifications a lot.
