US GP Austin
Ferraris were quickest in FP1
Max nicks pole off Russell for the Sprint race. Mclarens out of sorts with Norris 4th and Piastri gettimg knocked out after the first part! Colapinto impresses yet again with 10th on the grid but reportedly could've been much higher without a spin on new tyres... |

Max back on top, let's see if he can actually maintain that advantage in the sprint. It shows how things have changed in that Max being on pole is no longer a guarantee of winning. Good to see Franco up there again, despite his spin. Shocker for Piastri though. Norris only 4th, he needs a really good race

Mercedes certainly seem to have got a bit better a handle on their upgrades this race than they seemed to recently. Lewis was potentially faster than George on his Q3 run (Pretty much half a second up on GR prior to his lap being compromised by the Colapinto spin mentioned and the subsequent yellow compromised LH's time).
George is talking up his chances of winning the Sprint.  Leclerc on the other hand is lamenting that the Ferrari was really quick on the mediums, lead SQ1 & 2 on them but then couldnt get the softs to work in SQ3. Sounds like they might have decent race pace though so it could be an interesting race. Well, as interesting as a Sprint race can be, and im yet to be convinced of the Sprint weekends adding to my enjoyment. But thats my problem. They are more acceptable (to me) this year with the main race qualifying no longer on a Friday and the Sprints now being just an independent optional side show, albeit with a few points. More acceptable than the 5am start for me to watch todays Sprint. That will be a record job. Bottom line is Sprints are not going away anytime soon with 8 talked about for next year.

Only seen the C4 highlights of Sprint qualifying, but the dreaded track limits certainly had their effect......but only just over 0.5 seconds covering the top 9 is very close.
Combination of new tarmac and mandatory Medium, Medium, Soft seemed to make things a bit difficult for some.... |

Merc certainly seem to have taken a step forward again. So could be in for a close weekend

It looks like Super Max may have sufficiently recharged his batteries during the break, by taking pole for the sprint race.
I'm not a fan of sprint races but I thought I would give it a go. |

Norris locks up and loses 2nd spot to Sainz.

Congrats to Verstappen. It looks like he is back on form, with quite a comfortable win but qualifying and the race tomorrow is when it will really count.

Team race directors must be drunk today on the radio. But the actual race director a joke on review and penalties and took forever to decide Piastri bashing through the corners was acceptable but penalizing others who got pushed off. And then Piastri driving like he in a Cup car and off track constantly. Makes you wonder what they were watching at times
And AWS should just STOP with their data, it's a complete joke and never accurate |
