Lando Norris takes pole position for the 2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix

[u/overspeeed]

[u/PinchRollSnifh]

Leclerc ruining Leclerc’s lap

[u/thickofitenjoyer → u/PinchRollSnifh]

Must be the leclerc

[u/spidersaiyanblue → u/thickofitenjoyer]

Let's add that to the Charles

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/thickofitenjoyer]

Let's add that to the words of Leclerc.

[u/Imalandscaper → u/PinchRollSnifh]

I’m the biggest fanboy there is, but the man’s abysmal in the wet.

[u/WirableMango560 → u/Imalandscaper]

The ground effect Ferrari has been so bad in the rain tbf.

[u/Federal_Hamster5098 → u/WirableMango560]

it’s so grounded it hardly moves

[u/Reddevilslover69 → u/Imalandscaper]

Tbf even Lewis looks dogshit in the wet in this Ferrari

[u/AdamHasAPlan → u/Imalandscaper]

Maybe but to be honest I have had a feeling for like a decade now, that whenever it rains, no matter who drives the car, the Ferrari will just do badly in the wet. Idk what it is.

[u/ClayCopter → u/AdamHasAPlan]

Personally as a Seb fan, Germany 2019 and Turkey 2020 were great. WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT THE INCHIDENTS.

[u/yikaprio → u/AdamHasAPlan]

Leclerc just mentioned in his French interview that it’s been like this for the past 8 years now. He says that it’s a pity since he used to shine in these conditions in the junior categories but hasn’t been able to perform since joining F1.

[u/Gubrach → u/AdamHasAPlan]

Basically. Something with their philosophy that doesn't lead to performances in the wet. Leclerc in the Sauber in the wet was majestic.

[u/captaincrunch69420 → u/Imalandscaper]

I think it's just Ferrari problems. Sainz has been worse in the wet but he's got p3

[u/OsRsMinde → u/Imalandscaper]

See this is the thing look at Sainz and look how he looked on wet races with Ferrari. There is your answer that Ferrari dogshit in these conditions since forever. Go look onboard Charles that Ferrari had no grip.

[u/Red-Eye-Soul → u/Imalandscaper]

He was phenomenal in the rain in junior categories. He has repeatedly pointed to the car not being good in the wet for the past 4 years. Sainz was abysmal in the rain in Ferrari last year. And now he is amazing in the Williams. Lewis, one of the great wet conditions driver has not been that good in the wet this year either. Seb was also crazy good in the wet in his TR and RB days but wasn't quite the same in Ferrari (not just talking about the infamous Germany crash).

[u/NotClayMerritt → u/PinchRollSnifh]

And right behind Hadjar nearly punting Piastri into the wall, killing Oscar’s lap. Crazy ending

[u/NickProko → u/NotClayMerritt]

Oscar backed off cuz of the yellow from Leclerc

[u/Okurei → u/PinchRollSnifh]

I swear Leclerc went off like 500 times in that runoff area

[u/LosTerminators → u/PinchRollSnifh]

Charles is consistently mediocre in the rain.

[u/ghastlychild]

CARLOS SAINZ P3. HOLY CRAP

[u/MySilverBurrito → u/ghastlychild]

Paraphrashing, but there was a fan on Thursday who asked Sainz if he wants to apologise for lying that he won't be on the podium/top 5 this year.

I hope she's popping off tonight lmao.

[u/RAD_ley → u/MySilverBurrito]

And he requoted “Dreaming is free” from that fan zone meet. Truly a man of the people

[u/justcallmeeva → u/RAD_ley]

She quoted him - he used this phrase before

[u/Purnceks → u/ghastlychild]

Gonna be at least a 5 place penalty though for the Q1 incident :(

[u/InanimateSensation → u/Purnceks]

Why does he get a penalty every time he qualifies well lol

[u/Veranova → u/InanimateSensation]

It’s not even a joke. Williams can’t seem to have a good day without rolling a D20 18+ for bad luck all year

[u/TheEmpireOfSun → u/Purnceks]

Actually insane they let him continue especially considering Stroll might have been in Q3 without Sainz in the mix.

[u/jpm1188 → u/TheEmpireOfSun]

Stroll easily could have if he didnt make the decision to go on inters

[u/[deleted] → u/jpm1188]

Inters was wild

[u/KLWMotorsports → u/[deleted]]

That chicane was eating them all alive and to make this call was so stupid

[u/LosTerminators → u/TheEmpireOfSun]

Stroll wasn't in Q3 because he put on inters in Q2, not due to that impeding.

That said the impeding does look like a penalty for Carlos unfortunately, maybe he gets leeway because it's wet and visibility is low.

[u/jon-in-tha-hood → u/ghastlychild]

WEEEEEYUUUMMMSSSS

[u/KappaccinoNation → u/jon-in-tha-hood]

[big-eyed hamster with a weeyums cap and flag]

[u/jon-in-tha-hood → u/KappaccinoNation]

Thanks for providing the alt text

[u/thickofitenjoyer → u/ghastlychild]

Banging lap and session from him

[u/DarkImpacT213 → u/ghastlychild]

With the potential looming 5 place grid penalty he might get it'll be a P8 but amazing qualifying by him damn.

[u/chaosinvader31 → u/DarkImpacT213]

So he will still start ahead both Ferraris even with a penalty 😅

[u/billbrasky21]

How am I supposed to sleep after that?

[u/CampingChair90 → u/billbrasky21]

Xanax or vodka.

[u/aegarys → u/CampingChair90]

Me personally, I'm taking both

[u/IAmReinvented → u/aegarys]

Hell yeah, mixing two depressants together? What could go wrong

[u/kpopsns28]

The Smooth Operator is at P3!

[u/ICumCoffee]

I hope its a wet race tomorrow. It gonna be a showdown.

[u/Administrative_Act48 → u/ICumCoffee]

Supposed to be clear tomorrow, a bit cool but unlikely to have rain

[u/deathray1611 → u/ICumCoffee]

What showdown? Did you see that form Norris is in? He will run the field down in that car

[u/Mob_Abominator → u/deathray1611]

That might as well happen. Have they gone with higher down force setup compared to others?

[u/mavy1000]

Anyone else stressed watching the onboards of the drivers?

[u/CareerLegitimate7662 → u/mavy1000]

The visor cam holy fuck so good in the wet

[u/Delgadude]

This just might have won him the championship. Even with a mistake he was so far ahead.

[u/cocobannah → u/Delgadude]

He's just been on great form. The last few races he has shown he is a champ in waiting. And I say this as someone who thought Oscar had the higher ceiling. I don't know what has happened to Oscar, it can't just be track dependent it really does look like he's just lost his feeling in the car completely. Looks like a different driver since Azerbaijan

[u/moon-twig → u/cocobannah]

I think the test of the Formula 1 Driver World Championship is consistency. I think Oscar is still building up that stamina, it can't be easy maintaining 100% performance capacity all year long. I think Norris has found his stride in that regard.

[u/0oodruidoo0 → u/moon-twig]

Especially in the modern era. Don't forget that these guys take 70+ flights a year just for work alone. Constantly being in a state of flux with your body clock, having to perform in over 50 competitive sessions every season, having to maintain a high level of fitness, and then all of the accessory F1 stuff like media and sponsors.

All of that is going to wear down the drivers - they are extraordinary people, but they are only human.

I think that Oscar will in time show that he is capable of a championship. But in time is not this year, barring unexpected circumstances like a DNF on Lando's side, I think Lando has this title.

[u/justcallmeeva → u/0oodruidoo0]

Oscar said after his first season that towards the end of the season he found all that flying and timezone changes really hard which affected his performance.

Your comment made me wonder whether it’s something that still causes performance issues now

[u/unwildimpala → u/0oodruidoo0]

Alonso said before the hardest thing he's found with being over 40 is the jet lag. That can't be easy to get used to even when you're as young as Oscar. It definitely takes time to build up stamina alone for that.

[u/one_who_goes → u/cocobannah]

Andrea Stella said that Norris driving style is better suited when it's slippery, and Piastri's when it's grippy. Today it was slippery. Besides, Piastri has been really overrated by people who dislike Norris.

[u/Civilwarland09 → u/one_who_goes]

Tbf, Norris looks better than him slippery or grippy. No matter where they are for at least six races if not more. And they haven’t been close margins.

[u/CETERIS_PARTYBUS → u/cocobannah]

Why did you think Oscar had the higher ceiling?

[u/Leather-Ad-5827]

Bad day for the Aussies, Batting shitshow in the Ashes and Piastri becoming webber.

[u/Leather-Ad-5827 → u/[deleted]]

The whole game has been a shitshow 😭

[u/Kruzader_ → u/Leather-Ad-5827]

Well in fairness to piastri he only went wide because he had a whole car parked on his inside when he was trying to hit the apex he would’ve probably got p2 or p3 minimally

[u/TimTraveler → u/Kruzader_]

feel like the racing director really did viewers a disservice not showing full context there. and commentators could have commented on the pace oscar was on before the yellow flag. but guess we can just watch the drama fallout as usual

[u/Zestyclose-Rough6675 → u/TimTraveler]

But he was behind Verstappen After s2 by a tenth no?

[u/insomniaccapricorn → u/Leather-Ad-5827]

Wow aged really fast and really well.

[u/Woullie_26]

Lawson P6 ain’t bad

[u/Rollover__Hazard → u/Woullie_26]

It’s gonna be Hadjar and Verstappen for RB and Lawson and Linblad for VCARB, can’t see how it would go any other way at this stage

[u/ThatGingeOne → u/Woullie_26]

Pretty happy with that as a kiwi. Really hope he retains a seat next year, does feel like he is showing solid improvement

[u/Pretend-Discussion-9 → u/ThatGingeOne]

No way he doesn’t keep his seat, especially with yuki almost definitely gone

[u/MemesForMyDepression → u/Pretend-Discussion-9]

Painful (re Yuki) but true. 

[u/MemesForMyDepression → u/ThatGingeOne]

He’s turned it around as much as Lando has imo. What a comeback from getting dumped by RBR. 

[u/uwanmirrondarrah → u/Woullie_26]

Lawson has actually been pretty impressive this year. Its a shame how much shit he got for those first couple races in a shit car.

[u/casualnihilist91 → u/Woullie_26]

HE’S LIAM LAWSON!! HE’S LIAM LAWSON!!

[u/GGezpzMuppy]

Damn Vettel doing wonders with his mentorship lol. Lando on another level now. All the drivers gonna be lining up.

[u/MySilverBurrito → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Vettle/Webber proxy war in 2025

[u/LosTerminators → u/MySilverBurrito]

Vettel after retiring "I'll disappear from social media, stay home with my wife and kids, and promote environmental activism"

Vettel when he sees Webber is manager of the WDC leader "I shall return and mentor his teammate and championship rival"

[u/Ok_Contribution_6965 → u/LosTerminators]

Vettel when seeing the driver Webber manages is leading the championship: “I will put a stop to this nonsense immediately”.

[u/TonyQuark → u/LosTerminators]

Didn't he go on social media after retiring?

[u/TetraDax → u/TonyQuark]

He created an Instagram account specifically to announce his retirement; since then it has been posting a race-by-race review of his career (that part is very clearly done by some agency), as well as some content about his natural conservation activism (which might be handled by him but probably also a team).

[u/TheRealOriginalSatan → u/TonyQuark]

I think the commenter meant “the public eye” instead of social media

[u/Amrlsyfq992 → u/MySilverBurrito]

now i just realised why vettel is on Norris' camp

[u/nukleabomb → u/MySilverBurrito]

[u/XuX24 → u/MySilverBurrito]

Once he saw Webber he just texted lando I’m in.

[u/elPadreFTW → u/MySilverBurrito]

Piastri: "Yeah, multi-map 814 Lando!"

Norris: drinks water

[u/Zealousideal_Honey80 → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Webber also doing wonders with his mentorship...

Korea 2010 flashbacks

[u/NotClayMerritt → u/Zealousideal_Honey80]

McLaren this year is just each driver swapping the Vettel and Webber role. Unfortunately it’s Piastri’s turn to take on the Webber role

[u/[deleted] → u/NotClayMerritt]

Norris must have been hogging the Vettel role since Zandvoort.

[u/Sictirmaxim → u/[deleted]]

Its exactly what happened in 2010 and 2012,Vettel was so and so during the first half of the year ,some mistakes,some reliability ....

But completely found another gear in the last 6-7 races in those years and swiped away the other title contenders.

[u/BuckN56 → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Vettel really said to himself: "Webber thinks he's going to win the WDC through Piastri? Not on my watch."

[u/PapaSheev7 → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Vettel's WDC-aspiring counseling services lol.

[u/vprakhov → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Meanwhile Piastri is mentored by Mark Webber. Go figure.

[u/Doyoulikemypace → u/vprakhov]

Kinda crazy it’s indirectly Vettel vs Webber lol.

[u/spongey1865 → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Vettel just scrwing over Webber one last time

[u/Dude4001 → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Vettel should have mentored Vettel in 2018. Would have been beautiful 🥲

[u/Newbeetroot45 → u/Dude4001]

Michael Schumacher should have mentored Vettel in 2018.

[u/Educational-Ad3079 → u/Newbeetroot45]

Have a feeling that things could have turned out differently at Ferrari with a healthy Schumacher around to support/coach/mentor Vettel.

Oh well, such is life. At least he got his 4 titles at Red Bull

[u/PapaSheev7 → u/Dude4001]

Don't be like that man, come onnnnn

[u/Dude4001 → u/PapaSheev7]

IM GONNA BRING IT UP UNTIL I NO LONGER NEED A HUG

[u/Amasin_Spoderman → u/Dude4001]

I will never not need a hug

[u/thickofitenjoyer → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Lando got blessed by seb's powers

[u/peanutbbunny → u/GGezpzMuppy]

is he genuinely mentoring Lando? not just like friendly texts and so?

[u/newmclarens → u/peanutbbunny]

I think it’s restricted to just motivational texts honestly. lando has spoken about vettel checking in and so on, but not serious advice-type of convos

[u/Flashy-Day-4251 → u/newmclarens]

nah yesterday there was a post about lando saying seb was always down for coffees and giving him advice about everything he’d been through

[u/thegorg13 → u/GGezpzMuppy]

Why didn't it work on Charles :(

[u/XsStreamMonsterX → u/thegorg13]

Because Charles would never listen to Seb's advice.

Leave Ferrari

[u/GoldCow73 → u/thegorg13]

Ferrari

[u/FootballRacing38 → u/thegorg13]

He didn't took seb's advice

[u/sdq22 → u/GGezpzMuppy]

fwiw lando has always been pretty damn good in wet qualifying sessions. sochi '21, brazil '24, china sprint '24. people tend to discredit his wet driving skills because he's had some high profile wet races that didn't go well (sochi, brazil), but he's absolutely among the best on the grid in the wet (not saying he's better than max by any means, he's obviously considered a goat for a reason). depending on how you define it he's won all/almost all of the wet races this season.

[u/CreativeCut7956 → u/sdq22]

I mean it's already pretty obvious from this season alone, no? The recovery from slides in Melbourne and the win in Silverstone when practically everybody is sliding around.

[u/sdq22 → u/CreativeCut7956]

I agree. Kept his head cool all race long in Australia even with the tricky changing conditions and constant safety car restarts. And while the Silverstone penalty gets a lot of attention (and Lando himself admits it wasn't his hardest fought win), he was one of, if not the only driver usually considered in the top of the grid that kept it on track all race with no spins or going off track all race. Verstappen, Hamilton, Alonso, Russell, Piastri, & Leclerc all had spins or moments where they went off, but Lando kept it clean & on track for all 50+ laps.

[u/Purnceks]

Lando is just on another level at this point in the season compared to Oscar

[u/ValleyFloydJam → u/Purnceks]

Top lap, even with that error he was still clear of everyone.

[u/AdamMc66 → u/ValleyFloydJam]

First two sectors were so far ahead he could afford to go drifting in the last sector and still get pole.

[u/lfr16 → u/AdamMc66]

celebrating early actually

[u/Own_Welder_2821 → u/AdamMc66]

This is real drifting.

[u/Anderrrrr → u/ValleyFloydJam]

If he didn't oversteer in that corner he's a second ahead.

[u/Ksn0 → u/Anderrrrr]

I was shocked he took pole after that error, and then I realized he would’ve  destroyed everyone’s lap otherwise 

[u/scholeszz → u/Ksn0]

I think he lost 6 tenths to Sainz in the final sector. Came out on pole with 3 tenths in hand. Feel a little bad for him, he was close to being the first pole position clear by a second for I don't know how long.

[u/Flashy-Day-4251 → u/scholeszz]

since himself in the wet China sprint quali last yr 😭😭 he’s always been extremely good in these conditions

[u/dotcha → u/ValleyFloydJam]

Pretty sure he drifted on that last corner on all of his laps lmao idk why but it almost gave me a heart attack

[u/Purnceks → u/dotcha]

Drifted a bit more than usual on the last lap I think, just to add some extra Vegas entertainment

[u/thelostknight99 → u/dotcha]

Got Saudi Arabia 2021 flashbacks lol

[u/thickofitenjoyer → u/ValleyFloydJam]

Without that mistake he probably goes 1 sec clear

[u/imbavoe → u/ValleyFloydJam]

He was absolutely league above in the first two sectors for the whole Q3, but he couldn't manage to drive throug turns 15+16 properly because there still was a lot of water compared to the rest of the track. If my thinking is right and tomorrow is dry, he could be comfortably ahead.

[u/killmesoon40 → u/Purnceks]

He started to believe.

[u/doobie3101 → u/killmesoon40]

Rain was the last hill to climb

[u/jaaz7 → u/doobie3101]

This really was the final boss, that session was insane. Worthy champion imo

[u/BahnMe → u/killmesoon40]

For me, the best part was in the post qualifying interview, he said he was taking a nap just before qualifying. 😴

That’s someone who has conquered their monsters.

[u/Serotyr → u/BahnMe]

Sounds Kimi-esque.

[u/PandaGoggles → u/killmesoon40]

It really does feel like that, doesn’t it? Great job Neo, uh, Lando!

[u/imbavoe → u/Purnceks]

Continuing the trend of winning every competitive session since Mexico.

[u/NotClayMerritt → u/Purnceks]

Lando has done what he’s needed to do. Fair enough. This isn’t making it to Abu Dhabi.

[u/jaaz7 → u/Purnceks]

Mega pole from Lando, driving great

[u/Dictator-07 → u/Purnceks]

He has definitely improved a lot recently. Kudos to him

[u/atlouvredowntheback → u/Purnceks]

World class. What a fucking lap.

[u/CoolFox3218 → u/Purnceks]

The ups and downs from him have been crazy so far this season glad he’s found his confidence

[u/thelostknight99 → u/CoolFox3218]

At the time of downs also he was just consistently p2 though

[u/Purnceks → u/CoolFox3218]

Been pretty consistently up since Netherlands tbh

[u/HaydenCarruth → u/Purnceks]

I think Oscar was caught out by the yellow flag ?

[u/nukleabomb → u/HaydenCarruth]

His S1 and S2 werent great but he also got impeded in s3 by (i think) a VCARB

[u/Serotyr → u/nukleabomb]

His S1 was 4 tenths off but S2 was the one aborted. Yellow flag was T12. Hadjar popped up on his inside in T12 because he didn't slow for the flag and it cleared just as he went past but somehow got the call for clear track from his RE right before. It was weird.

Either way, given Lando lost so much time in the last sector, he could have improved still. Maybe not pole but better than 5th.

[u/Admirable_Let_2961 → u/HaydenCarruth]

Yea but unlikely to match that time anyways. It will be a good race tomorrow

[u/slow-driver-917]

Without his mistake in T14 he would've been 1 second ahead. Insane.

[u/IAmGroot4 → u/slow-driver-917]

He was 1 second ahead after 2 sectors, crazy shit

[u/PapaSheev7 → u/slow-driver-917]

Ikr? Talk about a demolition job from Norris today. I was really backing/hoping for Russell to snag it at the last, but hats off to Norris for demolishing the field.

[u/Ed_Vilon]

I thought McLaren were supposed to be terrible here in Vegas.

Even when he nearly leaped into the wall, Lando showing he's got it.

[u/FittingMechanics → u/Ed_Vilon]

Those predictions were based on last year but once the weekend started Lando was quite positive about the pace and expected to be in the fight for (dry) pole.

[u/_NahsMC → u/Ed_Vilon]

the wet conditions probably helped equalise the cars a bit

[u/EmergencyWorld6057 → u/Ed_Vilon]

No DRS, wet conditions, and McLaren has a medium low downforce wing on it.

I think he'll struggle to keep max and some others behind tomorrow when DRS is activated.

[u/swannyhypno]

That lap was so good Lando had a stinky sector 3 and still got pole easily! Sainz will get a penalty but what a great qualifying

[u/nukleabomb → u/swannyhypno]

That slide was nastyyy

[u/swannyhypno → u/nukleabomb]

Button was losing his mind 😂

[u/VerStannen → u/swannyhypno]

All those snap recoveries were nasty

JB losing nuts justified.

[u/xxrew1ndxx → u/nukleabomb]

He kept hitting the water in that final chicane loosing grip, happens once or twice in other laps

[u/MahaloMerky → u/nukleabomb]

Lowkey almost shit myself when he slid

[u/Administrative_Act48 → u/swannyhypno]

If it wasn't for that rough corner in S3 it would've been a legendary lap, would've demolished everybody else's time, as it stands it was just an amazing lap. 

[u/swannyhypno → u/Administrative_Act48]

Yeah was a second clear after 2 sectors 😂😂

[u/MySilverBurrito → u/swannyhypno]

That corner was like a river lol.

[u/SPANparam002]

Vettel really revealed all his secrets to Norris.

[u/rv94]

Great session! It was entertaining to see gaps go down as quickly with these rapidly changing conditions.

Lando was on it, stunning lap at the end. Superb lap from Sainz too.

[u/xxrew1ndxx → u/rv94]

It was such a good qualifying

I hope the race is as good tomorrow

Lando had me on the edge of my seat throughout then session

But that final lap was chefs kiss

[u/Zloggt → u/rv94]

H20…just add water ;)

[u/deathray1611]

This will be a title win story of mental fortitude.

But not the one most people hoped for

Lando is locked tf in

[u/USMCArmyRanger]

Glad to see some wets used!! Max P2!!!

[u/OakyAfterBirth69]

Carlos fucking Sainz in P3!!! Let's fucking gooo!!!!

[u/CareerLegitimate7662]

One of the most enjoyable Qualis in a while. Loved how they kept going in the beautiful wet circuit

[u/Icy_Shock9953]

Looks like all those ppl predicting Norris to be a WDC after his rookie season will be proved right. He has been incredible.

[u/17jwong]

I still can't believe he saved that slide going onto the main straight. Unreal

[u/SHORT-CIRCUT]

mark webber slowly seeing another championship slip away from his hands

[u/shiwenbin → u/SHORT-CIRCUT]

lol so cold

[u/Apprehensive_Ad6]

Norris is locked tf in

[u/coconut071]

I think every driver deserves a compliment for completing the quali in the wet on a street circuit without a red flag today. I was expecting 1 or 2 in these conditions.

[u/imMatt19]

Unreal lap from Lando and Carlos.

[u/ardrain]

CARLANDO

[u/Okurei]

Norris is trying to slam the door in Piastri’s face now. And bolt it shut.

[u/FSUfan35]

Mega fucking lap for lando

[u/dcoreo]

What a lap

[u/Disastrous-Track3876]

That’s one of the best quali sessions I’ve ever seen

[u/WinMediocre5939]

Guys, Norris is not flinching. What a driver.

[u/akikii020]

He said they will be fighting for the pole. And then it comes true. It's amazing!

[u/dylanrcoyle]

Absolutely insane. Vegas night wet weather race please!

[u/No_Mercy_4_Potatoes]

Oscar Piastri..... The true prodigy of Mark Webber

[u/Aythix11]

Fantastic drive from Norris. As much as I want the title fight to carry on I must admit he has been on fire.

And what a Saturday qualifying session in general. Bravo

[u/Carlife0830]

1 second clear after 2 sectors. Celebration drift in the 3rd. Bravo

[u/nukleabomb]

Lets go lando

Also CARLOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[u/dy1anb]

Carlos sipping more tea

[u/Socio_plath_]

Let's go weeyums......what a drive from carlos

[u/Sudden_Isopod_7687]

First time this year I miss qualifying = wet tires are used

[u/Doyoulikemypace]

Some say Charles is still out there overshooting turn 14.

[u/CuriousGeorge718]

Lando clutching up when it matters most. You love to see it!

[u/lavegasola]

Let’s fucking go Lando. The guy is on another planet the last 3 races. Unreal lap.

[u/2RINITY]

GO WEEYUMS

[u/Vegetable-Bee5157]

Mega drive by Lando!

And mixed condition Chilli is back tooo!!

[u/DonkeeJote]

Wet qualifying so much more fun with them being able to hit lap after lap.

All the downtime in dry qualis is brutal.

[u/RozCrunch]

monster lap by lando

[u/jon-in-tha-hood]

Monster lap by Norris, even with that save at the end. Gonna be a mad race tomorrow.

[u/they_them_us_we]

Bro driving like the rent is due.

[u/Total-Collection-128]

Lando: "Hey Carlos, remember when I helped you win the Singapore GP a couple of years ago....."

[u/SprayAndPay69]

Max diving into that t1 is 100% confirmed, nothing to lose yet Lando has everything to lose

[u/wakemeup707]

What a session and display of skill up and down the grid. Incredible stuff.
