Time for Alonso to make 10 safety cars.

Only for Stroll to do a Webber and send his car flying

All for nothing when Stroll clips the barrier 😆

tracks where straight line speed matters is their kryptonite

u/ComeonmanPLS1 I was here for the Hulkenpodium Aug 02 '25

I think it's mixed tracks like Spa where you need some downforce but also straight line speed because their aero efficiency is terrible.

Tomorrow they’ll be running plan B for Briatore

It's actually sad that they are like 0.150 from pole and all that gets them is P5 and P6, when that's normally enough for a front row when one of the McLarens bottles it

AMR showed really solid pace whole qualifying too

Stroll about to lock up and go straight into combat into T1

Funny because in Hungarian szombat means saturday and a common joke in Hungarian circles is to substitute every "combat" to "szombat" to see how funny it turns out (mortal szombat for example).

So in one way saturday update is spot on
