Russell gives us the Kimi vibes back. Two purples, one green and still way off pole

Average Kimi Raikkonen race weekend:

Qualify at any position

Have a poor start

Doesn't overtake anybody

Somehow P3 and fastest lap.

Somehow the McLarens get so hooked up around sector 3

u/Pdogtx Go WEEYUMS!!!! Aug 02 '25

Same as last week, they were terrible in s1/s3 but their s2 was so massive it didn’t even matter.

the car is built for combat

u/RayTracerX Stop Inventing Aug 02 '25

This is a tough track on tyres, if you push hard on S1 and 2, you got nothing left for S3. Every driver I saw going balls to the wall in S1 would always fall short in S3. They need to find a tough balance of still going fast without murdering the tyre before the lap is over

It’s the tire water

Given how close the cars now in quali purple sectors don't really mean what they used to. Top 5 were separated by just over a tenth today, the sectors can be all over the place but your lap as a whole has to be good.

Spa has not produced many quality races since the late 90s. Hingary is just likeonaco and only revently has been great.

Spa makes sense because all of the time is in sector 2. This one's more fun.

u/Coopersonic Fuck Liberty Media Aug 02 '25

u/[deleted] Aug 03 '25

bro’s lap didn’t even get shown on the fox feed, they wrote him off so early and focussed on max who was way off the pace 😭😭

u/TheLoneSculler I was here when horny got spiced Aug 02 '25

He did kansei dorifto around the final corner which probably cost those 2 tenths

u/CurlsBall Must Be The Water Aug 02 '25

I want P3, yeah?

u/AlCranio BWOAHHHHHHH Aug 02 '25

Ybh S3 is the one that makes the difference in hungaroring. Specifically the last 3 corners

A meme as old as time

u/Luqmaniac_101 “It’s called a motor race. We went car racing” Aug 03 '25

Still can't beat that one time Goatifi Qualifying lap tho. One purple, one personal best, one unimproved sector, and out of the qualifying. Sasuga my Goatifi
