Hi fellow Steemians!
I don't usually post about F1 qualifying (save it for after the race) but man was that an amazing qualifying session!
Redbull made all the headlines, both positive and negative.
Negative first. Verstappen crashed in FP3 and while the mechanics were almost able to fix the car before the qualifying began, they found an issue with the gear box meaning he was completely out of qualifying and starts last tomorrow.
Now the positive. Daniel Ricciardo. Simply amazing. He's had a fantastic weekend so far, setting fastest laps throughout practices. He did the same in qualifying, setting fastest laps and track records twice.
It really shows how much talent he has and will be interesting to see how if he can be consistent as well in the race tomorrow.
As for the rest, it was relatively uneventful but something to note is how well Alonso and Ocon did in Q3.
Cannot wait for the race tomorrow!

I'll admit I mostly ever watch races just for the crashes when I do have time to watch something like this. I still one day want go down to the track in Daytona and watch one of the amazing races they have there.
Those look like some great time records. Enjoy tomorrows race!
Thanks @enjar! I'll be honest, it was the same for me too. But the more I watched F1, the more I became fascinated by the sport and what goes around it when the races aren't on.
Should be a fantastic race!
