I am not so sure being at the pole position means as much as people give credit for when we are talking about second position being Max. I mean we have seen Max start from second line, being third, behind Sainz and Charles, just last race and we have seen him take over Sainz literally on the first turn and then took over Charles and won the race very easily as well.
I am not saying that he will do that again, we never really know what's going to happen, we have seen him fail at the last attempt because of "no power" again, which is something that happened before, so I guess that it is always possible that something wrong could happen, but I believe that Charles not at ease just yet.

I cant wait for the race.
Maybe we can have a magnificent race with three teams fighting for the win.
I really think Mercedes found the solution for his problem and in the next race they can chase the two top teams Ferrari and Red Bull i want to see in race if they have a really good pace.

After spinning out earlier in the qualifying laps Leclerc took pole position.
For the first time sin a long time Mercedes is not in the front line up in a race.
Surprisingly Haas didn't do so bad but Red bull will have their hands full tomorrow with Ferrari.

IP leaks, man, stupid damned news taking the frontlines. I'd let everyone copy everyone if I were boss. Probably why I'll never be boss heh.
I left Tsunoda out so far of my line up in points positions, he doesn't look too good on the track from what I can tell. Did not expect Ferrari to be doing so well but let's see how the race itself lines up for them.
Also sticking with Verstappen for pole. Something is gonna give. Hamilton seems to be smiling more than usual too.

From what I see after P2, the Mercs have indeed got improved. They seem to be dangerous again, they seem to be back in the fight for podium.
Even Christian Horner drew attention to the success of Mercedes and said that they will be an important factor in the championship. The third free practice will begin soon and I will first of all be interested to look at Red Bull - so far their results are not impressive. Ferrari looks dominant (if you do not take into account Mercedes), there is a possibility that Leclerc will increase his lead after this stage.
Can this team ever catch a break?
Final race is tomorrow at around this time so in less than 24 hours.

And I'm just the opposite - I would like Leclerc to increase the lead over Verstappenen. 
To be honest, I do not like such long victories of individual riders, such as Hamilton. And this went on for many years. Although no doubt he is a talented and excellent racer.
But in his confrontation with Verstappen, now the F1 community is once again beginning to choose such an "idol".
If Leclerc manages to keep the points gap, it will bring interesting intrigue to the races themselves. It will be better and gambling for everyone. But in any case,
I wish them all great racing in Barcelona - and Leclerc and Verstappen and, of course, Hamilton.

At the moment I also want Leclerc to win because in fact his advantage is very small (considering the distance that still needs to be covered before the end of the season) and judging by the dynamics, Verstappen is more likely to win the season with a few races before the end of the season than Leclerc. As for Hamilton's success, as we see it, they are very dependent on the car - this season Mercedes has a weak car compared to competitors and Hamilton can't do anything, he is even behind a teammate.

I actually want the Monaco guy to win (the season). But close races are much more fun, and seeing them trading the lead over the course of this year should provide for more entertainment. Definitely feel it's less "fun" when one guy/team dominates everything. Time for Hammie to take a long ride in the back seat.
I'd love for a dark horse to cause one or two upsets, still eyeing a Tsunoda podium pick maybe on one of the races that looks iffy... but my lack of knowledge leaves me to wait to read news about such a track =)

I do not think that such cunning operations with changing the paintwork can give serious effects to lighten the car and somehow significantly affect the races themselves. Although, of course, milliseconds matter. But bare carbon fiber, as it seems to me, has more aerodynamic resistance compared to varnish.
Footballs become more aerodynamic, sticky stuff on baseball, skin-hugging tights in swimming, nothing beats F1 when it comes to micro-improvements on physics of course, and I don't even know how some things are legal and some aren't, but yeah, if a new coat of paint can give a milisecond improvement per lap, they'll... lap it up
My picks in. And I'm favouring another Verstappen win to inch closer to LeClerc!

Interestingly (in a bad way) there's no sprint neither at Barcelona, nor at Monaco...
I hope that next year they'll add more of those.

As far as I understand, the races in Barcelona will be on dry, rather hot pavement and I wonder how Mercedes will perform? I have not yet seen the announcement of what they came up with.
But it seems like they should present something interesting.

I had heard of this about Red bull shaving paint off the body of the car as well. These are literally grams and I can't see this changing the speed of the cars due to them being weighted down by that much.
They might as well take off decals and team sponsors stickers if it is coming to that inorder taking off these miniscule amounts of weight from the chassis of the car.
Of all the changes optimized for this season, the weight of the F1 cars has increased by an average of 43 kg compared to the year of increase They might as well take off decals and team sponsors stickers if it is coming to that inorder taking off these miniscule amounts of weight from the chassis of the car.
, and it seems that staying only within the maximum limits, the manufacturers appeal to one in the maximum limits.Anyway, leading the side, any 100g less is a few milliseconds faster each lap, and you know that a few milliseconds are worth a lot in F1

Red Bull improved the body of their car so down force keeps the front portion of their cars on the track and uses less of the tires.
This might be why with Max's driving abilities have seemed to figure out how to beat a well off Ferrari team.
Ferrari from next Gp will have a new bottom of the car for increasing the top speed.This might be why with Max's driving abilities have seemed to figure out how to beat a well off Ferrari team.
The Mondial will be won by the team who will be able to improve more the car.
Indeed one of the most problematic issues of this year in F1 is the weight of the cars which has grown to conform to the new aerodynamic regulations.
However, much more curious than the changes you mentioned above is what I just read about the Ferrari... they want to change the paintwork to lose approximately 700 grams, the intention is to leave the carbon fiber exposed in some areas.
Is all this worth it?
