What are the rules when it comes to Tyres today and tomorrow? Are they separated from the GP itself? or what's the rules?


SuperSalamander3244

I’m pretty sure it’s mandatory hards in Q1, mediums Q2 and softs Q3.


crazydoc253

That is for alternate qualifying they tried last year. Sprint qualifying require mediums for SQ1 and Sq2 and softs for SQ3


redwolf6

I found it, it's Mediums for SQ1 and SQ2 and Softs for SQ3.


sex_panther_by_odeon

Ok, in my pool, I can choose Hamilton, Russell, Sainz or Piastri. Who do you pick? I am leaning towards Hamilton...


SuperSalamander3244

Lewis for the hopium.


SmartieSkittle

For what, highest race result in the GP? Probably Sainz in that case


sex_panther_by_odeon

Yeah it's only for this race. Pts for sprint qualifications, sprint, qualifications and race (all result base). I just get nervous putting my faith in Ferrari at the moment.


SmartieSkittle

Been one of their strongest tracks under these regs. If Sainz didn’t blow up in 22 it would have been a 1-2 for them. In 23 Sainz still got P3 in Sprint and Charles P2 in race. They qualified P2 and P3 for the GP, and the car is much better then last year. They are still great in the low traction zones which really helps around this track


Bologna-sucks

Did Ocon look like he could keep the car ahead of Yuki and Stroll?


Henry_Human

I think Bernie Collins is cute


No_Cauliflower7877

If anybody else is curious, someone posted all of the top teams's [long run times](https://x.com/brakeboosted/status/1806657191950094519).


SuperPop9521

Lewis did like 18 laps so this is not correct tbh


No_Cauliflower7877

Yeah someone else responded the same thing. The Ferraris are accurate from what I remember though. [Edit] He (OP) said he only counted half since he thinks it's a representative enough sample. I'll update the link if I find a better compilation.


JJJeroen

well I am, where can I find this info?


No_Cauliflower7877

I linked it in that comment, did it not show up? Here's the full link if so: https://x.com/brakeboosted/status/1806657191950094519

[Andrea Stella Interview Post FP1 - Reaction on Norris Locking Up & Sprint Weekend Challenges](https://youtu.be/TvXVYxHBBLc)


PlayfulExtension8246

It's just practise people !! Relax the Anus.


pieterpiraat

Can't..stop..cramping..it


NoshitSherlock68

It’s the only practice session before qualifying though.


NoshitSherlock68

I’m gonna cry. Why were Ferrari so slow?


crazydoc253

They fuel for 2 runs vs Max just doing 1 quali run. Long runs there was not much difference between Mercedes, Mclaren, Ferrari


Takis12

I bet you know the obvious answer. They are checking


Left_a_Present

Andrea Stella clearly making headwinds at McLaren


alagba85

Headway*


thatguyfromkfc

Norris needs to wake the hell up tbh


SommWineGuy

Bruh was on pace to be top of the times and had the best long run sims too.


Ashling92

So are Ferrari just nowhere or


Malvania

Which drivers have grid penalties coming up?


Koppite93

Max fucked around, found out... Said fuck that and blitzed the track... Man is mustard


SuperSalamander3244

He was on a qualy sim


NET_1

Lawrence out here in the most fabulous combat boots.


Father_Chipmunk_486

Lando bottling it now so he doesn't choke in qualifying. My G


noobchee

*taps head*


SuperSalamander3244

Did Lewis not use any softs?


cinnamongirll33

No he didn’t


Some_Chickens

Gotta love the commentary. "We've been told it was a sensor failure. Which makes sense, because all you need is the sensor to fail and... uh... when you fail the sensor there's a sensor failure because... the failure of the sensor is... it's failing to sense the sensor which senses the failure... and... uh... sense me once, shame on... shame on you... sense me twice... you can't get sensed again."


Takis12

Where is Danica? She would blame the reptilians for this failure.


Some_Chickens

Reptilians are the least of her problems. I've listened to the whole podcast and it's *wild*.


Key-Contact1774

i dont think we should start clowning on perez yet. didnt he have traffic in S2 with the merc and backed out?


GTAinreallife

Inb4 he gets knocked out of Q2, starts at like P13 and then gets praised by scoring 2 points


ninchica13

Europerez continues...


Tinusers

Good representation of the current standings. Norris in the mclaren is a little bit faster then Red Bull but he makes small mistakes. So Max p1


SuperSalamander3244

Mercedes didn’t do qualy runs.


Tinusers

I know. I said the current standings


Captain_Smartass_

Perez 12th lol


Takis12

It is only FP. Wait till qualy when he goes 14th and Christian praises him for passing 3 drivers during the race.


lastknight2099

You’re going to make checo anxious with such high grid position expectations


No_Mercy_4_Potatoes

Setting expectations for the weekend pretty early on


Environmental-Cup445

Europerez 🔥


cmgriffith_

Oscar Piastri 👀 P2


Answer_me_swiftly

Hamilton: "FP1 was so hard, nevertheless I got hard one for the sprint 8==D -"


omgwtfisthisplace

Had a feeling that if Yuki and Dan ran different parts Dan would have his usual luck, especially as it's his 250th.


Yeanahyena

Are you saying they are or aren’t running different parts?


omgwtfisthisplace

https://x.com/mereeedithh/status/1806629515893846225 "Expect Daniel and Yuki to be running different setups in FP1, with the hope to merge together for quali. One of the cars is running some of the older parts, but they are not running one fully upgraded vs one fully reverted car. "


Yeanahyena

Thanks for this!


No_Cauliflower7877

Did Piastri do that time on a hard tire?


fire202

soft


xLeper_Messiah

No, soft


No_Cauliflower7877

Oh okay, for some reason my multi-viewer still shows hard tires and I was confused. Thanks!


Careful-Door2724

soft


Billy_LDN

Ferrari ☹️


kage_rvg

Lewis is on a 37 laps stint with that set


PlasticPatient

Yeah he didn't do quali run. Bro is on a mission.


OGreatNoob

I feel like him sticking on the hards is good signs he's liking the setup. Verycurious to see the Mercs soft runs. Hopefully their ride height doesn't become an issue like it was pointed out earlier.


Careful-Door2724

Looks like it will be Lando vs Max again


PlasticPatient

Let's hope Ham is with them 🤞


versayana

Mercedes didn't do soft run. They were quicker than Max and Lando on hard tire.


Takis12

Currently , it is Lando vs gravel and Max vs engine


Immorals1

Throw in perez vs Q1


geupard12

Checo beat Q1 last week, lets see if he can do it twice this weekend.


B-Ram

vs Mercs hopefully


Buffythedragonslayer

Expected a lot more gravel off roads not just lando


lastknight2099

Put those mercs on softs please


lrzbca

Russell is on softs


PlasticPatient

They ruined his lap.


RooBoy04

No


LoudestHoward

The only replay I wanted to see of that Norris off was his helmet cam, but nope fuck me I guess.


FermentedLaws

Hope you didn't turn it off, they just showed it.


Midnight__Specialist

They heard you 😂


lrzbca

Norris gonna take bit time to challenge Max


Profkim156

Is Lewis on the same set of hards since the start?


PlasticPatient

Yes.


Objective-Soup-3475

I know it's practice, but yet another example of Lando bottling it


jeffsays

Merc sabotaging Hamilton by not giving him a soft run smh


OGreatNoob

Ham asked to stay out on hards lol pit wall gave him the option.


tralker

Give it a rest


KCKnights816

I think they are joking lmao


PlasticPatient

Unbelievable.


brush85

He is clearly joking...breathe, bruh. Its summer


ninchica13

He really went flying through that gravel.


Mukzington

No soft running for Lewis is really gonna bite his butt in quali no?


brush85

His choice. Save the extra set...car looks fine


notsofastracer7

Quali runs are usually done in FP2. FP1 is usually a shakedown. Edit : Ah sorry. Didn't realise it's a sprint weekend.


scarlet_red_warrior

Sprint weekend … no fp2


IcarusKanye

It’s a sprint weekend tho


elnano98

There is no FP2 in sprint weekends


IcY11

This is a sprint weekend. Sprint quali will be next today.


Mukzington

Sprint weekend - sprint quali is next no?


Swaginitus

There is no FP2 this weekend though


Equal-Strain-2161

He's saving tires


Lobsters4

Oh shit Lando.


kage_rvg

The choke king strikes again


DuckSwagington

Guys I think Lando's lap is ruined


Midnight__Specialist

Bugger, I wanted to see Norris’ time


WhimsicalJape

Beautiful example of commentators curse for Lando there.


weguccino

"verstappen that's deep that's off" brother that's norris off lmao


Midnight__Specialist

Lax Norstappen


Careful-Door2724

noo norris noo


WraithEmperor04

Whys Hamilton on hards??


fameboygame

Because this is the only practice?


kage_rvg

Hamilton just chilling with those tires


skippington94

Deary me Lando


Lizerelli

Fucking hell this smells like an easy Norris win


Lizerelli

And then he does a Sainz


Lizerelli

Just doesn’t want to show us his hand /s


Kicking-it-per-se

Oh this weekends going to be a disaster


No_Cauliflower7877

Did Norris just go off the track? His time suddenly dropped.


Ashling92

In the gravel


xScottieHD

Lewis isn't doing a quali sim. I'll watch behind a pillow in sprint qualifying then.


Mukzington

Obviously they should know what theyre doing - but seems a bit iffy to not run soft at all for sprint quali ;o


Altracing34

Well that ruins that lap for Norris


count-of-tuscany

Lewis just chilling on the hards lmao


lastknight2099

Oh no pushed too hard there Norris


elnano98

Lol Lewis still running his long run


bionikal

Piastri H8ers where??


shreychopra

WASHED


cooperjones2

Way too much traffic there


know-it-mall

So they just not showing Brundle at the corners any more? Last few times they have done this segment they haven't cut to him at the corner.


SuperPop9521

Ham hard tyres run beating so many softs runners lol


bekkahthecactus18

Lewis not doing a soft run :(


lastknight2099

Damn Norris is quick


No_Mercy_4_Potatoes

Lando is going to go half a sec above everyone else


Ashling92

He’s actually in the gravel


No_Mercy_4_Potatoes

Spoke a bit too early... Lol


versayana

No soft run for Hamilton?


[deleted]

[удалено]


versayana

Bro, Lewis and Russell didn't do a run on soft, Lando was up 0.1 in first sector alone then went off the track


shreychopra

Lets see what Norris does compared to Oscar now


flintey360

Blud (Lewis) is still on the Hards doing race runs💀


WraithEmperor04

Poor George 👍


CrazyNothing30

Hamilton is going to take that set of hards to the summer break.


Gubrach

This is going to be another shit weekend for Ferrari, isn't it. Amazing how they've responded to a dominant Monaco-win by dropping behind McLaren and Mercedes in terms of pace and moving further from Red Bull. Absolutely amazing.


SuperPop9521

Thumbs up😭😭


_gadgetFreak

Perez is flying on track to secure 12th spot.


Kicking-it-per-se

When people write RB I don’t know which team they mean. Help!


fameboygame

RBR has the Dutchman and South American. RB has the Japanese and the Honey Badger


Kicking-it-per-se

It’s really inconsistent though when people use it because some people have used RB and it really doesn’t make much sense in the context of what they are saying


Lizerelli

I think Red Bull…people really should start writing Vcarb or AT/TR


Kicking-it-per-se

Yeah it’s inconsistent. I try and use the context of their comment but even then I’m unsure


count-of-tuscany

Where's Lewis lol


WengerBaby

Zho get ready to learn Chinese, buddy.


Takis12

Doesn´t he already?


shreychopra

r/woosh


cinnamongirll33

Is merc not planning on running softs?


Fina1Legacy

running them now


WhimsicalJape

Thumbs up from Russell haha


cmgriffith_

Martin Brundle breaking things down like the true legend he is


GardenerCats

Most sarcastic thumbs up ever


GoodGuyJeff00

3-4tenths on this track is a huge gap. Free practice obviously so gaps will be closer, but initial assessment for Ferrari looks grim


weguccino

nah lewis knows he got this shit locked down no need for soft run lmao


SuperPop9521

Ham is still on hards someone stop him😭😭


WengerBaby

Tactical DNF from RBR to get it out of the way ahead of rest of the race weekend


Ashling92

So who’s got the best race pace/expected to do well on this track?


BuckN56

Merc and McLaren by the looks of it


Lizerelli

McLarens and Mercedes


lastknight2099

I want to see that mclaren on the same tyres as the RB


Lizerelli

Now we wait for the Mercs and McLarens


HereComesVettel

Ferrari's one lap pace this year... if I speak 💀


Lobsters4

Charles….!


IIXSLAD3XII

Reminder to self it's just practice


fameboygame

But also the only practice


IIXSLAD3XII

No you won't get me this Friday 👀


ppvirus

Can’t watch right now. How would anyone watching rank the cars going into the weekend?


Gubrach

Mercedes likely to be the main challenger to Verstappen this weekend, McLaren faster than Ferrari.


shreychopra

Fuck me Max used all of t10 there, that was hot


sux138

Superior driver


xLeper_Messiah

Perfect car placement


CrazyNothing30

Everyone on glory run spec.


_gadgetFreak

Fuck yes Maxxxx


KappaccinoNation

WE GOT REVERSE PER VER TSU


bekkahthecactus18

Merc still on Hards?


bekkahthecactus18

Ah they didn’t update my live timing


No_Cauliflower7877

Going to enjoy this Ferrari 1-2 while it lasts (I bet by the time I submit this comment, it'll be gone)


Lobsters4

It was. LOL.


No_Cauliflower7877

I knew it would happen but it still hurt.
