Great qualifying by McLaren. Happy for them.

Well done Lando! An interesting grid especially staggered rows per manufacturer due to Checo's quali failure.

 

[Mzezman]

Nice one McLaren, really good to see them back up there.

Albon also showing that he’s got some pace. Hopefully tomorrow is gonna be a good one

 

[Speedster]

I'd love seeing Lando up there!!

Loving this!!

 

[Goosfrabba]

Ferrari and Aston tried. Let McLaren show you how to beat Max

<thumps chest>

 

[caroper]

Why are they showing the Dutch twat in the Austrian Car - WE want to see McLaren damn it, they are the real stars.

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

Bad luck

Verstappen, le Clerc, Norris top three. Calling it...

That was a hell of a call before the end of quali.

 

[Heisenborg]

Yawn

 

[Speedster]

Bottas is in trouble. He didn't have enough fuel in his car

 

[caroper]

Probably the Qualifying of the Season so far, Q1 was exiting but Q3 was even more so.
Far better than any Sprint Race.

You know how they can improve F1, demolish about five of the yawnfest tracks and just have Silverstone clones. That was one of the best quailis in quite some time.

Also, how does it rain quite hard and then have a dry track around ten minutes later? There must be some fairy dust in the tarmac there.

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

Best qualifying of season was those where all the british twats went out in q1

Bottas is disqualified from qualifying and drops to the back of the grid.

Oof. I thought it was another Ferrari engine going bang after Magnussen's Haas. Was dispairing for Ferrari's reliability for tomorrow...

If you go by home base, rather than country of registration, then Silverstone is a home race for all teams but Ferrari, Alfa Romeo and Alpha Tauri.

My opinion home track is the one closest to your factory that sees the most track time with the cars and therefore familiarity.

By that definition then Barcelona is the home track for for all the teams as they run at least one 3 Day test there each year, excluding tire test, and a Race.

Yeah but the factory doesn’t test there, that’s the actual race team.

Silverstone likely sees a lot of under the radar testing from McLaren, Williams and Red Bull and of course Aston Martin.

And Merc, their factory is in Brackley

Seeing as In-season testing was banned in 2009 I assume that all the testing you are alluding too is hidden in the Catering Budget?
