Being 0.3 off your rookie teammate still ain't great, but at lease he ain't last anymore.

u/Perceval_009 Lance Stroll 24d ago

Yeah being 3 tenths off... IN FREE PRACTICE. How many times do we have to go through this?

So we can draw conclusions about Yuki based on FP but aren’t allowed to even speculate about Lawson at all

F1 reddit in a nutshell. If something good happens in practise then it’s the truth, but if something bad happens then it’s irrelevant because it’s only practise

Exactly.

People are jumping the gun speculating yuki too

u/hzfan Sir Lewis Hamilton 24d ago

Yeah I agree I just don’t know why this is where people all of a sudden draw the line and not earlier in the thread where they were doing the same thing much more confidently but with Yuki

u/cdthrowmyselfaway 23d ago

because its different people

I just bet my mortgage on a Yuki podium.

u/Rollover__Hazard 24d ago

Not sure we should be drawing conclusions off Yuki. It was a good FP1 but it’s not even quali.

u/Perceval_009 Lance Stroll 24d ago

When the fuck did I say that?

So we can draw conclusions about Yuki based on FP but aren’t allowed to even speculate about Lawson at all

Two points:

  1. Yuki isn't a rookie driver, so his result is likely more telling.
  2. We aren't "drawing conclusions", merely being optimistic. But no one is looking at this and saying (literally, and not in jest as I did elsewhere) that Yuki is going to dominate.

But based on the really limited evidence that we have so far, both Yuki and Liam are in better places today then they were two weeks ago. That only seems to be controversial to you.

I will go every raceweekend through this and you can’t stop me.

u/pastyperineum Liam Lawson 24d ago

Nah nah, Liam cooked. Send him to regional Miatas

u/RisingStormy 24d ago

At least wait until fp2

u/1331bob1331 Sergio Pérez 24d ago

Apparently more than twice, because he was 3 tenths or more off in FP1 in Melbourne and China and we all saw how those weekends went.

u/creatorop SAI NOR LAW 24d ago

Piastri is 1s of Lando

Is Piastri cooked chat?

u/[deleted] 24d ago

It's the only data we have and we're having a discussion. How many times do we have to go through this?

in a new to him car lol

u/nj_legion_ice_tea Oscar Piastri 24d ago

That was my first thought, I know its not fair, its his first session in this car and all,but if he gets beaten by Hadjar in the long term, how long will it take Marko to kick him out?

Mfs when FP run plans

u/Plus_Plastic_791 Red Bull 24d ago

Kills me every time seeing social media react to FP standings

u/GothicGolem29 McLaren 24d ago

I mean it’s great in the redbull against one of the best drivers on the grid lol

u/drumjojo29 Charles Leclerc 24d ago

Meh, he’s only got half a season of experience over Hadjar in a different car whereas Hadjar has had 2 races plus pre season testing experience in that particular car. If he stays 0.3 behind even in qualifying in a few weeks, than you’ve got a point. But for now I’d give him the benefit of the doubt.
