I have for years thought Verstappen was a very good driver but also very much helped by having the best car.

I'm now starting to think he might be the best F1 driver ever.

    Both can be true, as well. End of 2022, all of 2023 and the first couple of races of 2024 he clearly had the best car. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that Max is an absolute demon behind the wheel, and in terms of pace and driving skill he will no doubt go down in history as one of the best of all time, probably going on to become a legendary name like Jim Clark.

    Ok that was definitely the most excited I've heard Max to take pole in a long time. I almost always root against him now, but he is such a driving machine.

    I blame red bull. Why not give him 2 runs with the new softs. Better to reach Q3 with only one new set than to not reach Q3 at all

    Yeah. In the end it was Yuki making mistakes what ruined his lap. But they really should have given him two new soft runs

    Yeah but they know he has less than 2 hours in the car. How do they expect him to nail it in one go. They could have given him the new softs for run 1 and then depending on how he did, they could have chosen to go again with new tyres.

    I will say I don't mind red flags in Suzuka so much because then we get to check out more of the amazing Japanese fans and their hats!

    Verstappen, what a beast. Pole by 0.012s of a second.

    Top 3 within 0.044s. Wild.

    I wonder what issue Hadjar is facing in the cockpit. Seems like something that should've been resolved during FP.

    I swear Verstappen is not human...

    The guy sets a lap record and pulls that lap outta his ass and he doesn't even seem remotely surprised. He's happy, but he wasnt surprised lol
