Yo McLaren shows up to the party

That was a wild Quali!!

7 of 10 teams represented in Q3.

Norris, Hulkenberg, Stroll, and Piastri all showed up.

Alpine looking strong as well - minus their radio comms with Gasly for impeding.

Hope both LeClerc and Fernando can figure out what's up with their cars... my guess is Nando picked up a lot of floor damage through the gravel.

Leclerc continuing to fuck my F1 team up ffs.

Was definitely a lot of fun qualy. If it wasn’t for Max we’d have some very competitive racing across all the teams at this point.

Tell me about it. My "expensive drivers" were Leclerc, Perez, and Russell. Jfc.

At least Stroll and Hulk outperformed their going price!

That’s what they mentioned when he went to the gravel; that there was floor damage

We have had some really excellent quali sessions this season so far, I hope that keeps up.

I'm pretty much relying on that to save my bacon too. C'mon Perez!

[shakalaka]

Merc is finally showing some promise. When Lewis finished P1 in Q2, I let out a little scream of excitement. Far from the front but slowly but surely positive progress.

My buddy is in one of the tents near the pit exit and the standings board. Says it's bananas. Having a nice time.

Yea, it sounds way better this year than last year. Cooler temperatures and the trains ran better.

I might try to go again next year...

What's the top bucket list track to visit for the fan experience? Somewhere that you'd probably enjoy as a tourist without the race too. Barcelona would be very high on my list, but I like Spain.

Imola, Monaco (Nice), and Suzuka need to be up there.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Suzuka or Spa would be my choices of races to attend.

[2Legit2Quit]

Suzuka is probably the top of my bucket list track, Red Bull Ring looks interesting for location/scenic and could be fun camping if it doesn't rain

COTA will probably be next realistic F1 trip.

[flipstah]

Suzuka or Spa

[davidI]

The problem with Spa is that it's in the middle of nowhere. The race weekend in itself would be great but not a lot of tourism to do outside of that... Aachen, Liege?

[shakalaka]

COTA/Austin was awesome for the race, but also as a trip to a city with nice/chill vibe and party scene.

Montreal I am headed to for the first time (for the race) so will update after.

I imagine Miami and Vegas obviously both great trips. But my bucket list is night race in Singapore and I hear a lot of good things about the place to visit in general so will check it out one day and Monaco would be the ultimate if I ever have anywhere close to FU money. lol

That's funny as Miami and Vegas would probably be at the very bottom of my list for two reasons.

1) Obnoxiously expensive for what you get. They're both riding the Drive to surive / new to america high and as a result everything so marked up and just meant to siphon money it's not appealing. Even with a huge budget it just feels offensive when you see the drink and food prices. At least at some of the European races you feel like you get decent value for your money at the event and especially the camping ones.
2) I'd rank any race that gets F2 & F3 races much higher. Montreal is a beautiful venue and the city itself is amazing but the lack of feeder races makes is miss the mark. It's far more fun watching a practice then a spring race then another practice then a GP then back to FP3 and more races then qualy ... etc.

K what the eff happened to Charles' car that weekend? He was like a pylon.
