It's a bold choice by Red Bull, because Hamilton is ace in catching up. If no mishap happens, Hamilton is gonna give Verstappen a run for his money.

Hamilton in a video interview after the qualifications today (see here): "Interesting that they're, like, lock up in Turn 1 and all that kind of stuff. In my experience no-one locks up in Turn 1. So, and if he does, it's no big lock-up anyways. And so, yeah they obviously deliberately choose to go on the soft, in my opinion. I might be wrong, but I hope what we are on is the right one."

RB has really good long run pace on the softs as shown in FP2. But it is a bold gamble on full fuel, and used softs that already have some laps on them. What makes it sketchier is if they get hot and induce understeer or oversteer and Max hits those sketchy curbs. That would not be good because that might actually be a tire blow out.

IDK I guess we will see soon, by that I mean you guys will see it first then I will watch the recording in the morning because I will be up all night watching Loma box, and some good ol mma (Dustin, Charles, Amanda, O'malley, garbrandt etc) all night long lol.

I actually was chased by a Canada goose when I was younger, those things aren't afraid of humans so they'll really go after you.

Part of the equation: the track temperature drops during dusk and darkness. That allows to stretch the softs longevity a little more during the race. Not substantial but enough to pit later.

Attachment 2763303

true, but that also applies to the mediums as well. So every tire will benefit from the cooler temperature, hence why it is not mentioned as we are talking about one tire relative to another and not one tire type relative to itself at various temperatures.

Man I wonder why they are so agressive lol. It must be all the people feeding them bread, so when you walk by and not feed them they go nuts.

Wow what a film, not frightening as such but very disturbing, see you tomorrow for the final GP showdown everyone.

Yes I know, but he doesn't want to risk it lol. Or at least try and guarantee his future.

Hamilton is a motivational speaker for Masterclass.

Rumor has it that Verstappen is a motivational speaker for MAXterclass:
2015: Max and his dad Jos showing their full dedication:

Do you fight? Bet?

I couldn't enjoy F1 through technical analysis...I pick my team, driver and nemesis.

Tonight is the reason why I don't bet... Amanda nunes a -1100 favorite just lost..... I really did not think Penna had it in her, but straight punches beat looping punches and those jabs were on point and broke amanda down. Wow....

Not sure why Amanda didn't mix things up and switch back to the really effective calf kick which she was finding alot of success with in round 1 and buy some time to recover, but I guess when you get rocked the game plan goes out the window.

Regardless of who wins tomorrow. It's gonna be a wild race.

Good luck to both sides. May your driver win.

Both drivers are going to drive all out but I think it may come down to race strategy - and if we're talking complete team performance, have to give the slight edge to Mercedes.

Hopefully I can get up early tomorrow to catch the entire race.
