Yeah . The cheating Papaya DRS gaps are probably gone now and they lost a couple 0. sec's.

As for MAX : The first straight , then through the S's in clear air and he's gone .
And in the rain MAX will be gone too , but the Papaya race pace is still bullet fast and as we know their tires will last forever.
As for MAX's pole lap in his Frankenstein car : I couldn't believe my eyes
As others said : It was a lap of the Gods and a new Suzuka track record !!!

Yuki managed to keep the RB21 in one piece . Good (!)
Tomorrow (without scratches) we'll see the little Japanese in the top-10.

YUKI is big in Japan

I think Yuki will get into the top 10 as the race progresses and will struggle early on with all the traffic in front of him...The car and his experience should pull him through..

Seing MAX's pole Yuki should put some points on the table for his own sake.

Yeah I know . They changed his setup with more wing and if it rains that will give him more downforce.

YUKi would also have had the speed, but he made 2 mistakes in his fast lap and he knows it .

MAX the absolute phenomenon !

YUKI's first qualifying in the Frankenstein car was much better than expected ..
Let's give him a couple races and we'll see him at the podium .

More wing in the rain won't impact on the tires as in the dry but last I saw it was 60% chance of rain at the start..Ferrari will worry more at that.

Funnily enough I had a boiled egg not long ago with some toast instead of porridge, and a cup of rosie lee.
Going to fit those pins and springs in the front callipers now that its warm enough and a good dose of copaslip around the six pots, wish me luck
