OutByEaster? Posted April 17, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2021 Unfortunate for Norris, but a positive session I think. Lewis on pole but by no means confident and it's brilliant to see Perez out qualify Verstappen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 17, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted April 17, 2021 Well that sets it all up very nicely. Bottas out of the loop makes tactics intriguing. Norris has shown the McLarens can feature. And Perez is notoriously much better on a Sunday although he's impeded by starting on the softs, though it might get him out in front initially. Leclerc quietly going about his business in 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I wouldn't imagine so. If Lewis has a pace advantage he'll get past. And I think they're all close enough anyway. The start could be fun though. I imagine Valtteri will probably get up amongst it pretty quickly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Really thought Norris had smashed it. Looking forward to a very decent race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 That’s why you pay Hamilton the big money, once again proving he’s the best at qualifying. So many good stories as well, Williams actually doing half decent once, Norris almost putting it on the front row, Max actually being out qualified by a teammate. Feels like a while since we had a classic race, hoping it might be today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted April 18, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted April 18, 2021 Interesting. With the weather cooler, they (Pirelli) are now saying Perez is on the fastest strategy of the 2. So if he can get ahead on lap 1 he could stay ahead and be favourite for the race. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted April 18, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 18, 2021 Full wets on half the circuit, bone dry on the other half! Alonso has had a nudge on a warm up lap and had to have a new wing. This could be a very tricky opening couple of laps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 Managed to get my jobs done in time for the race, wet/dry or dry/wet races are the best. Can’t wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
