Amazing performance by Mclaren. Piastri is not having fully upgraded car I think but his performance shows he can be one of the best drivers soon. Perez will do well to get P5 I think after another shocker from him. Except Max lol top 10 should be intresting tomorrow.

Track limit rule is silly. I do not think there is even any advantage, either they put gravel or do not make corner like these. I like these corner and at least in Race they should allow them. There is a significant advantage. That is why some drivers do it. Usually it is only few centimeters as so...

Boring race for Montreal standard. I think in the top teams have closed the gap to RBR and Williams also had a big upgrade this race. It could be track specific but good if top4 teams are close to each other.

Mercedes-Benz

I think he is one of the best driver this year so far. AT is one of the worst car and he is consistenly fighting for points obviously with top teams having some issue but he is doing great. He had the speed but only use to have 4 or 5 good races before lol. RBR, AM, Mercedes, Ferrari, Alpine are top...

Mercedes-Benz

Only Mercedes and Mclaren team did well. Perez, Stroll in particular are performing way below average. Throughout the qualifying it looked as if Max and Alonso will be 1-2, may be Leclerc could beat Alonso but some how he did not make it into Q3 :uhoh: Hulk would not have made it into Q2 if Gasly wa...

Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes seems to have made big upgrade and jumped ahead. AM was poor and even behind Sainz but there is something seriously wrong with Charles car

The changes to the track is very good and it also helped in overtaking which used to be very rare.

Mercedes-Benz

Yuki, Russell, Zhou. There was brake dust when he was defedning against Zhou, wonder if he had brake issue again but he is having great year so far. Mclaren, Haas fell a lot in race. AM, Alpine also had poor pace.

Mercedes-Benz

Another disaster for Charles. It is always his Ferrari that has these problems :uhoh: Perez was at his best form and another huge mistake in qualifying. He did not look fast but he has to get podium at least driving a RBR. Apart from Max who had no competition it was good qualifying IMO. Ferrari, AM...

Mercedes-Benz

Amazing performance from Max. Not sure he had to but he did same laps as Alonso and was always pulling away from him on medium tyres. Good call though as they were waiting for rain. Ocon has to be best blocker, but great result for him. Yuki was unlucky not be get P9

Mercedes-Benz

Great news. Honda did amazing from being the worst in power and reliability to one of the best engine now. May be they think partnership with AM can win them some races again and fight for title. 2026 is long time but I do not think either Alonso or Hamilton will be in F1 or Vettel will make a comeb...

Mercedes-Benz

Probably one of the best performance by Max. I think his Saudi lap was still the best which unfortunately he could not complete lol. Alpine are pretty good as well. Ocon did an amazing lap too. In the race RBR and AM are probably still the best but here it does not matter. If it is dry they all will...

Mercedes-Benz

Max did an amazing race. He looked fast all weekend but Ferrari fell of massively on hard tyres. Charles had a poor race being stuck behind K Mag who I think overtook him twice. Stroll also bad bad race. AM is the second best car on Sunday. Ferrari are quick only on single lap still no improvement i...

Mercedes-Benz

Max, K Mag and Yuki

Mercedes-Benz

Charles is an amazing driver but crashes way too much :x But I think it is good that Max is P9 so we will see some overtaking lol. It should still be RBR 1-2. Perez looked off the pace but got P1 so another great opportunity to win a race tomorrow. Mercedes look slow. I am not confident about Ferrar...

Mercedes-Benz

DRS range in Baku main straight was 100m less than last year. Also even with regulation teams have found a way to add more downforece so it is now more difficult to follow the cars unlike lasyt year. Which I think is a bigger problem :( https://www.racefans.net/2023/05/01/f1-drivers-blame-shortened-...

Mercedes-Benz

Charles, Perez and Alonso.

Charles and Perez seems to be pretty good on this track. If only Ferrari had some pace.

Mercedes-Benz

Perez had to win as this is one of his best tracks. Excellent weekend for him. Charles was also impressive all weekend. He also seems to be specialist on this track. With more downforce now the car following others is not easy either so DRS is the only way of overtaking. I think there will be less o...

Mercedes-Benz

lol some predict they will win all the races. My guess is 13. I am hoping other teams especially Ferrari wins races, they and Mercedes seems to have gone backwards so far. Hopefully by the time European races starts they can fight for wins Mercedes has gone backwards? Last year they were good in ra...

Mercedes-Benz

Australia is not the best track to judge but Mercedes, AM, Ferrari are were very competitive, even Gasly was able to keep up with them.

Mercedes-Benz

It was close, probably conditions, temprature made it more closer. Ferrari performance was disappointing. In previous races they came with in 01.sec in qualifying. But since RBR are really good in races, AM too from previous races. It should be good race for podium especially If one of the Mercs get...

Mercedes-Benz

For some reason they are used to making draggy car even when they moved from Honda which was that time low on power and unreliable. Their switch to Mercedes did not make much difference in their top speed. May be they can improve and challenge Alpine sometime later this year. Alpine can't compete wi...

Mercedes-Benz

I think Perez did a great job. SC took the gap advantage but he was able to quickly get 5secs before Max was able to clear others and after that he was able to maintain the gap and keep up with Max. Ferrari were poor in race again. AM looks second fastest in race. Mercedes I think had much better ra...

Mercedes-Benz

Yuki, Perez, Russell

Mercedes-Benz

Shame stroll made that mistake. However, he was only 0.140 off Alonso. We have to admit that if alonso is rated as highly as he is and Stroll is only that far off even witha mistake in the lap is not half bad. And Stroll obviously missed all testing. But Stroll's mistake did cost him many positions...

Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes race pace was disapoointing, even AM was not as good as I was hoping. Charles was cruising to 3rd who was doing great job I thought. So Ferrari were not a complete disaster as everyone were saying that they are good only in qualifying. Charles is the only driver IMO who can stop Max so his...

I voted for Stroll, Alonso and Gasly.

Mercedes-Benz

Alonso 0.6 behind is a bit disappointing after FP where he was slightely ahead of RBR. But they were also not expecting to challenge RBR. Ferrari looked good but tomorrow will be main test for them. Hulk was probably the stand out performer.

Mercedes-Benz

AM was accused of copying RBR, is their car more like last year RBR ? I know they hired some RBR guys some years ago but they have made a massive jump. I doubt they can keep up with top teams through out the season so I guess Max, RBR will mind if they are taking points from Ferrari and Mercedes. An...

Mercedes-Benz

I voted for Russell. I thought it would take him some six months or so to settle. But from the start he was consistent. Even in some of Hamilton best tracks he is very close to Hamilton to him in races. IMO an athlete hit their peak around 25-30, they can keep it up till 35 but after that there is a...

Mercedes-Benz

Charles did amazing race. He deserved P2, he should have easily been much closer to Max had Ferrari not made so many mistakes. Charles also crashed when he was leading the race in France and few others but overall. Max and Charles are the best drivers in F1. Perez, Russell also had good year.

Mercedes-Benz

It was always a mistake leaving Redbull career wise, but financially he has done well. I agree. Huge mistake. Since then he is chasing money and I think is paid more than 10million or so by Mclaren for not being in F1 next year as well. That is why he did not even made any effort for Haas. Kimi was...

Mercedes-Benz

I hope Ferrari are competitive tomorrow as well. Mercedes seems to be good in race so their battle with Ferrai should be good. It is probably going to RBR 1-2. Vettel did a great job as well.

Mercedes-Benz

IMO they nee to impose bigger penalties for taking drivers out. In US GP as well those 5 secs meant nothing as Ferrari was out of the race and here again those 10secs did not matter much. Ricciardo mistake especially was really dumb as overtake was not an option and he could have easily overtaken hi...

Mercedes-Benz

Ricciardo made a video game error not sure what he was thinking. But good result for him. I think he had the best strategy, all the drivers in soft in the end were right. Russell also wanted that strategy not sure why Mercedes did not try that. One of the most boring race of the year

Mercedes-Benz

Ferrari obviously turned their engine down or something. But nevertheless what a boring race

Mercedes-Benz

If anyone tells me now that Russell has outdriven Lewis this season I will ask them to revaluate their choice of sport. Champion drive there from Lewis - such a shame he missed out. Great work from Verstappen, Vettel and Alonso. Best race this season? Russell has been shown up by Hamilton for quite...

Mercedes-Benz

Many drivers did great. I voted for Vettel, Max, Charles
