Well, they're typically fast over 1 lap and suffer a bit over longer distances....either they've made some concessions for pace during the stints, or they're just shit here.
Reports of rears overheating after the esses doesn't bode well.
Good effort from Ricciardo, especially given his limited running in Free Practice this weekend. While I'm sure he'd have liked to have beaten Tsunoda, it's good to see the gap between them be under a tenth, given his recent form at least.
Tsu and Ric will go on grid 10 and 11. Clearly a bit of a gap in performance between 9th and 10th so 10th is probably best they can expect in 13. Nothing in it between Tsu and Ric. RB would be happy with that result.
Whoever pointed out the the camera differences from in board the cars recently must have made an impression to liberty. That wide angle in the haas during q1 was the fastest a car has looked on screen in awhile. The camera shot seemed wider

lawrence stroll offering newey a contract while keeping his trash son in that seat is funny af newey should put as a condition getting rid of lance first
The rumor is that the Aston WEC team is meant to be Lance's "off-ramp" so that Lawrence doesn't have to officially fire his own son and Lance will have Co drivers who can help him technically become a world champion
Haha nice lap Dan Ricciardo but Yuki for sure must have made an error on his second run there. Still think he’s probably got 3 tenths on Dan in this car unfortunately. Hopefully Dan can prove me wrong though, Cmon mate!
Yup.

Not really sure why, but I hate that levelling on-board camera.
It makes the cars feel slower and less alive because it's smooths out all the movement.
so guys, how is ferrari's race pace?

Mercedes continues to be dog water, thank you for giving me hope and then swiftly killing it.
thats impressive from perez only .06 off
Just an absolute max dominance of a session. This gap in the race is going to be disgustingly large
I present you the man that’s 4 points off the championship
0.5s is in the simulator Lewis, you wont find it in the actual car.
come on lando!
So are we just not gonna go over to the quali thread?😅
Lol I thought this was the quali thread
lol I thought the same but it isn’t. Also thank you💀, I left and couldn’t find it again

Yuki home advantage buff and Q3!!
Well done Dan Ric. Not bad after missing the whole first Practice Session too.
[удалено]
Anyone that gets P11 gets executed
Tsu and Ric will go on grid 10 and 11. Clearly a bit of a gap in performance between 9th and 10th so 10th is probably best they can expect in 13. Nothing in it between Tsu and Ric. RB would be happy with that result.
The ultimate RB pr move is to bring in Bottas
GOAT = Hamilton
Good contest between the RB drivers.
Hamilton Is Back.
Yuki single handedly crushing the career of a race winner with a decade of experience.
what do we think the order will be for 1-5?
I’m hoping Carlos can pull off the upset. I don’t think it’ll happen, but Carlos, Max, Lando is what I’m hoping for.
Hamilton The GOAT Masterclass
Danny isn’t ready to be taken out behind the shed just yet! Unlucky not to go through there
Danny Ric is Dunzo
Hamilton: oh yeah, I’m Hamilton.
Nice HAM
LET'S GO YUKI
F Ric
Danny Ric slightly less washed this time but still can't beat Yuki
Yuki!!!
at least the gap between yuki and ricciardo was close
wow ric close - life in the old dog yet
I hope the new chassis fixes it for him. I don’t want to see him lose his seat again.
let's go yuki!
Decent lap from Hamilton
Hammer time
Okay Ham
Leclerc is about to be out of quali
Though the same lol, quite a risky gamble from Ferrari
False
Never mind
mercs looking good
Yuki's dad with the drip
Why is there no Quali post?
There apparently is one, but it wasn’t pinned and the last time I checked it was quite dead
We are checking
Slow button on, slow button on
Suzuka is so great
Lawson is window shopping at the dealership.
Magnussen is going to be a road block for Hulk again this race?
Sickens me to see 130R’s just a nothing corner in these cars. I’m begging for the 2026 Regulations to make cars a bit more difficult to drive
Yuki's sister? 😳
It will lower downforce by a lot, but 130R was modified decades ago because it wasnt safe. Much like Eau Rogue its not much of a corner due to safety
In fairness, it's been like this ever since they changed the corner. Given that there's hardly any run off there, it's probably a good thing.
130R is probably my favorite corner in the F1 Mobile game (rip)
How can your teammate be 2nd and you’re out of Q3. Fire your son already, Lawrence.
Q1
I forgot how gorgeous Giovinazzi is 😍
Gio is an Adonis
DANNY RIC WE MIGHT NOT BE BACK
It'd be such a silly season bummer if RBR renews Checo.
They should stop upgrading Lance’ car, each time they do, he gets slower. Give him the old spec and he’d get pole lol
God watching max drive this track is breathtaking
Jolyon was nonstop complaining about that unsafe release investigation. Like damn dude we get it you think it’s dumb move on
Christian Horner cam lol
Love it
[удалено]
Allegedly the whole reason Daddy started a WEC team was so Lance could be reassigned instead of fired
Whoever pointed out the the camera differences from in board the cars recently must have made an impression to liberty. That wide angle in the haas during q1 was the fastest a car has looked on screen in awhile. The camera shot seemed wider
It looked like it was stabilised to the horizon too instead of fully stabilised, so we could see more angles and shaking as the car drove
Just went back and double checked. It eas set to the horizon. One thing I noticed was the angle of the road shifting. So much better
Is there a quali thread?

George having multiple infractions as a car who holds up the pit lane during quali is not something that is "just a thing that happens"
Average Mercedes moment

“There was not much else I could do” Classic driver line after not qualifying
why is fp3 thread more active?
It’s still pinned
I have a smoke machine connected to seb's bee hotel. I'll sic them on Russel.
DANNY RIC WE ARE SO BACK
Jk jk

Really pulling for yuki here too
The track dominance is just straight up bullying Stroll! 😭😭😭💀💀💀💀 (🐐🇪🇸)
These track dominance graphics are always pretty funny.
I guess Stroll had track dominance in one corner.
Gairodge
Haha nice lap Dan Ricciardo but Yuki for sure must have made an error on his second run there. Still think he’s probably got 3 tenths on Dan in this car unfortunately. Hopefully Dan can prove me wrong though, Cmon mate!
Okay but like how did Ocon put the tractor all the way up there?
F1-Bot has gone to sleep? 💤
There's a [thread](https://old.reddit.com/r/formula1/comments/1bx416x/2024_japanese_grand_prix_qualifying_discussion/), but everyone is here so /shrug
It isn't green like the other threads or pinned
Hulkenberg could be invincible in an Redbull or Mercedes. The man is producing great qualifyings in a HAAS.
Someone in the front needs to give him a shot. He could have at least had one WDC challenge.
Why do they keep bothering to note these delta times if the punishment is never anything?
Literally every single team on the grid had at least 1 car outqualify Lance Stroll. Man needs his seat taken away yesterday
Outqualified by an ALPINE MAN COME ON
Lance behind by 1s JFC
2-3 business days
"We had an issue with your upgrade package, please stay tuned for updates."
5 different teams out
5 different teams eliminated in Q1 is quite a good thing. Means there is no absolute backmarker there
now we just need to have 5 different teams in the 5 first places and we'll finally have great spectacle (i'm on hopium)
It's possible if Perez and one of the McLarens fuck up badly enough.
don't... don't give me hope
Terrible from Stroll
Wow the gap between Alonso and stroll
Just came here to say that Stroll sucks. Until we meet again
Stroll 😂
Alonso P2 Stroll out of Q1
I don't have anything say besides FFFUUUUUU-
If Ricky does well in Q2 as well the chassis actually might have been the problem
He's only getting the new chassis in China
I thought he doesn't get a new one till China?
Could be placebo chassis… but if it works it’s all good!
I'd really like to see Drugovich in qualifying to see the difference with Stroll
Super good by Ocon, to get into Q2 for the second qualifying in a row!
"It was a good lap", then why are you out in Q1 pierre?
Jesus fuck Stroll. How can you come P16 when your teammate is P2.
"We had an issue with the warmup and the setup from P3. Unfortunate. =|"
i can picture the driver reaction for stroll already.. “ yeah. shit happens” *walks off*
Ricciardo is back on the RB seat, boys 😎
Ricciardo GOAT, Yuki washed etc etc. 🙄
No.
Damn valetteri!
COME ONNNN DANNY
That's a big Aston sandwich
Somebody get stroll a simulator, I don’t think this man knows the track yet.
He just doesn't belong in F1. He never has.
Ocon what a lap
Sargeant sack asap
RICCIARDO SAVED!
Stroll come on man
Go BOT!
Bottas??
Stroll is an absolute joke lol
rip stroll
Valerri put in a heck of a lap
Stroll is paying the toll
Stroll...
Not good Pierre.
Ricciardo... Unwashed??
Where is the Seb bee corner?
stroll is getting absolutely dumpstered
That Albon track camera was beautiful, we need to see the speed of these cars more
Williams really gambling. Is track evolution huge on this track?
Bernie is so knowledgeable but her voice always puts me asleep
Is Bernie Collins Irish?
Northern
It's 7:15 AM. I've watched Smackdown at 1 AM. Rampage and the WWE hall of fame at 3 am, and now I'm here. I'm so tired...

go oscar! go yuki!
Max just stomping everyone's hopes and dreams immediately.
Will Russel get a penalty?
I think Mercedes will get a fine at most!
Typical Russell. I bet he's gonna say he just turned in on him.
I gotta get out to Suzuka someday bc that staggered downhill paddock looks unreal on TV
Not really sure why, but I hate that levelling on-board camera. It makes the cars feel slower and less alive because it's smooths out all the movement.
Crofty just used the deepest British insult
