Stroll outqualified Nando for the first time in like two years. My goat is washed.
Who at FOM had the genius idea to start qualifying right when 24h Le Mans starts? F1 qualifying could have started 90 minutes earlier and tomorrow the race 30 minutes later.
Is talking about Le Mans OK considering K. Mag is on pole?
Yes, absolutely.
He seems to have some problems with his car. Sister car is now P2.
Antonio Giovinazzi made some progress.
They had an agreement with Indycar to avoid the Canadian Grand Prix clashing with the Indy 500. Should’ve done something similar with WEC.
My F1TV stream keeps stopping randomly. Facing the issue on two separate devices. Bizarre.
Weird incident for Leclerc.
Don’t get me started on the f1tv streams this year (and last). First I thought it was multiview (that I do t use but is turned on) but the stream still stops randomly. It drives me nuts. I am thinking about downgrading the f1tv package to 1080p next season because I didn’t have any issues prior to the 4K package with multiview.
I think you can turn off multi view mode in the settings
Yes you can but that did not solve the problem.

For me, the stream was dropping frames every 15 seconds though that could also be because of shitty hardware not being able to decode the stream smoothly
Weird incident for Leclerc.
Did he blame the brakes again?
Nope, just himself.
Anyone know what Kimi meant by SM?
Sadism-Masochism obviously.
Though he probably meant the active aero’s Straight Mode
Looks like exciting Q3s are back! They’ve been close since Miami. Is this because of regulation changes or because of other teams catching up to Mercedes?
Both, and also teams figuring out how these cars need to be ran. And also tracks that are less energy starved than Australia and Suzuka.
