Impressive, absolutely fantastic, I have no other words to describe the qualifying session in Turkey this Saturday, we had everything we want from Formula 1, unpredictability, rain, cars, running, cars missing or better drivers, the cars themselves do not make mistakes but the drivers make all the ingredients we wanted to see a great Qualy session we had at last and what was done for us in the history of Formula 1 today was absolutely fantastic at the time of recording this video is right after the closing of the qualy I still don’t have official Formula 1 information on the starting grid, they must be analyzing if someone made a mistake, if someone went over the edge of the track but for now we have Lance Stroll Pole Position, Verstappen in second, Perez in third, Albon in fourth, Ricciardo in fifth, Hamilton in sixth, Ocon in seventh, Raikkonen comes in eighth, Bottas in ninth, this is the first time since 2013 that a Mercedes has not been In the top 5 of the qualifier, Giovinazzo in tenth is the first time in the year that the two Alfa Romeo’s have reached Q3 which is fantastic because they are celebrating the 500 grand prix mark if I remember correctly there are 500 Norris grand prizes in 11th, Vettel 12th, Sainz 13th, Leclerc 14th the two ferraris may be among the disappointments because they went well during free practice there and in the end they stayed in Q2, Gasly is right behind with Magnussen and Kvyat in 17th, the alpha tauri were also bad, they are also among the disappointments and in the last ones there we have Russell, Grosjean and Latifi who are already behind these cars, a fantastic session I have no other word but to be fantastic, on whom Stroll, Verstappen bet , Perez is a millionaire right now, we remember at the Italian Grand Prix that they bet on Gasly’s victory on that podium completely out of reality that Stroll even had on that podium and the guy came out rich with a lot of he also bet that those who bet on this starting grid configuration certainly won a lot of money but come on Qualy had a red flag period because of the track conditions we know that the asphalt was resurfaced and this resurfaced asphalt one the week before the grand prix caused the drivers to complain a lot even in yesterday’s video i brought Hamilton’s speech that it was really bad because he was out of grip, the track was totally green there were no races in the meantime to be able to rubber the track so the cars were absolutely in the soap so let’s say, the drivers said it was like riding on the ice, riding in the soap. With that we still had rain to remove all the work that was being done to rubber the track, they sent street cars to run at night to rubber the track but still we had the rain that ends up taking all the work of rubber so to say, all this work ended up getting lost, the rain went on until Qualy and qualy ended up being there for a while because of the rain, the condition of the track that was not cool, the dog passed during the red flag anyway curious situations and when he came back we had a fantastic qualy, in Q1 Latifi, Grosjean, Magnussen, Russel, Kvyat, Kvyat were the big surprise of this Q1 to be left behind in Q2 was what we told Ferrari it was expected to be in Q3 due to the performance I was showing in free practice, as everything was very messy we knew that ferrari had a better chance of passing to Q3 than under normal circumstances and she is doing well, resenting a good pace but it turned out that with rain conditions the car showed its aerodynamic deficiency and with that it stayed behind the two McLarens also didn’t have a good qualy, the mclarens stayed behind and we hope that in the race both Ferrari and McLaren have a more interesting performance so that we can see more interesting disputes in the middle of the peloton. And then in Q3 we had the big surprises, you can count on Alfa Romeo who managed to get the most out of the adverse situation and put his two cars in Q3, Raikkonen showing all his experience, Giovinazzi also showing that he has a gas give, I am a critic of the two Alfa Romeo drivers but I am also very fair, I have to be impartial here in the hangover so when I have to criticize, we criticize and when we have to praise, we congratulate Raikkonen and Giovinazzi are to be congratulated there would be no better way to celebrate the 500 grand prizes of the team if it weren’t for a double qualification for the Q3 to really take off the performance that Raikkonen did with extreme rain tires and Giovinazzi with intermediate tires, Mercedes also stands as a disappointment because everyone expects a Mercedes at the front, fighting for pole and Hamilton was in sixth, Hamilton who also didn’t have the hand of the car all weekend even under circumstances rain that is a circumstance which Hamilton is doing very well he was not able to present a great performance and Bottas was in ninth ie the mercedes will have a little work for tomorrow even if it is dry track Mercedes wasn’t doing well so Mercedes didn’t is favorite for the first time this year Mercedes is not a favorite to win a grand prize this season. Ocon managed in seventh position with extreme rain tires, Ricciardo managed fifth for Renault in extreme rain, he is a driver for us to keep an eye on too, because Ricciardo has been pinching very good positions up there who knows he can even podium depending on the situation, Alexander Albon got the fourth position, which is more or less what we expect from Albon but it was way behind Max, but way behind, 2s and 400s, 2s and 300 behind Max really a difference very absurd and Sergio Pérez then was the first placed there in Q3 he was getting good back after good back all waiting ‘hey Perez will make the pole, Perez will make it’ and then he was in third a second and a half behind his companion Stroll, Max Verstappen led the whole weekend since Friday, leading everything there he arrived in Q3 he couldn’t do the time better than Stroll’s and here is a curiosity about Max’s return, in the tran smission showed that he was wearing rain tires, the graph is showing intermediate tires, I confess that I don’t know which tire Verstappen made if he used intermediate tires he didn’t hit Stroll, we have to applaud Stroll standing up, now if Verstappen did this time with a rain tire so if Verstappen had put an intermediate tire he would most likely have dropped a second there on the Stroll maybe even more, anyway we can’t take the merits of Lance Stroll, a driver who is very criticized, I sometimes I defend, I don’t always defend, even I criticized Stroll a few times in these last big prizes for the poor performance he had been showing, but this pole position really was fantastic merits of the Stroll who can take advantage of the situation, put the intermediate tires on, made the lap, fit the lap at the right time, was two tenths almost three tenths ahead of Max and put his teammate a second and a half , I don’t see you u that Stroll is a fantastic driver but I do believe that he is a driver who is very say unfair, a driver that everyone slaughters because of his father but forget some achievements he has in Formula 1, such as podiums both with Williams and racing point, now a pole position he has for example the pole that Perez doesn’t have in his career, Stroll does, the podium that Hulkenberg doesn’t have in his career, Stroll has then is a driver who is reaching right there when you can contest it’s reaching interesting situations in the career and the riders have to do this, they have to take advantage of adverse situations to get good results, so congratulations to Stroll, congratulations to Perez, congratulations to Raikkonen, to giovinazzi, excellent qualy of these drivers, the disappointment is on Hamilton, Bottas, Norris, Sainz, Vettel, Leclerc, Kvyat, Gasly, these guys were the disappointment for just being a little behind what was expected in this Grand Prix for him s. I want to know your opinion, were you impressed with this qualy too? Remembering that there may be some penalty, something from Formula 1, right for these drivers, I see in the logo when the qualy is over so there may be a penalty for one or the other but in general this is the grid, a big hug , thanks and spoke. .
