57 laps of the 5.419km Lusail International Circuit 28th November Practice 1 13:30 - 14:30 28th November Sprint Qualifying 17:30 - 18:14 29th November Sprint 14:00 - 15:00 29th November Qualifying 18:00 - 19:00 30th November Race 16:00 - 18:00 All times are UK times Poll closes before Race Quali - Saturday!!!!! Bit early this time With the drivers title a bit closer that it might have been on a track with mainly medium and fast corners plus high temp it could be an interesting race.
Nice and early this week,ched,you`re very good at this. Also ,Ive got a feeling Max is going to be really bellicose and aggressive ,ready to fight, he can smell victory.
Someone pointed out to me this week that if you compare the current state of play to the results going into Round 2, Norris has made up 1 point on Piastri and 17 on Verstappen in 20 races. It’s rather blown a hole in my “Since the summer, Norris has gone out and won it, across the year he will be deserving” narrative and exposed it as recency bias. If find myself now hoping he has a difficult weekend here and we do end up with a “winner takes all” scenario in Abu Dhabi.
I just hope it goes to the last race with all 3 in real contention . I feel WE as real fans deserve it .
To be fair he's been taken out by his team-mate, had a mechanical DNF, and a DSQ because of the team ****ing up the set-up, none of which has happened to either of the other 2 other than Piastri also getting dsq.
Tsunoda joins the fight at the front! If you need some hints Yuki, Bottas is hanging out at Merc again this weekend.
Adrian was interviewed by Ted and it almost seemed like Adrian is 'standing in' as Team Principal for the first few races as he will "be there anyway". I don't think the door is closed for Horner quite yet!!!
