Holy shit Williams
Colapinto is flying 👀
- He's been impressive today, definitely taking me by surprise.
- Norris out in Q1 👀
Norris out in Q1 👀
- Was it because he had to slow down due to yellow flag or does the last corner have track limits?
  
  I think he aborted the lap because he was outside track limits there, but I'd have to go back to make sure.
  
  It looked like his engineer called the yellow while it was a white flag.
- The mistake in T16 shouldn't have cost him that much time. It was on the approach to T18, where OCO slowed down to let him past to almost a standstill, causing a yellow to come out and Lando backing off.
If Bearman is good in Haas next year, Ocon will lose his temper for sure
- I can see it being a shit-show for sure.
- @Microw @wes Bearman will put Ocon in his pocket (as we say in Brazil) next season
That was embarrassing from Williams
- I guess they don't mind losing their fans...
  
  What are you talking about? Williams and their fans seem to be inseparable!
- Mistakes happen. That could be worse.
As if Lando's task wasn't big enough already...
The rookies did well
Leclerc just loves Baku, huh? I think he's said this is one of his favourite tracks, and it shows. Very good lap from him there.
Lando, NOOOOOOOOO!
Damn the rookies are looking great. Great laps by Colapinto and Bearman.
How did Williams forget that airbox
I guess no team orders will be needed (mc)
Did not have albon and Verstappen getting out qualified on my bingo
This is getting interesting
I was driving. The fuck happened to Lando¿?
- Aborted lap because of yellow flag, ran out of time for another lap.

  Unfortunate
Williams so good that they gave Albon the additional task of removing tools on track
PER finally beats VER in qualy!!!

Plus, Williams helped ALB get beaten for the first time as well.
Just in time for this silly media hype to die.
No fucking way did McLaren did miscalculate fuel? 💀
