Max: "I have no grip, just no grip."

Max: "Turn 1 already, it's undriveable, these tyres" He is NOT a fan of the C6's

Max: "Tyres overheating, especially the rear."

trying to upload the impeding incident but its been stuck like this for 5 mins ffs

That S2 is awful

Max: "It's just T1 again! This corner like.. The front right is not there, and eugh.. the rest... i mean, its just trying to find the limits mate, i'm limited with the mechanical grip."

Max: "There is just no more grip." Max qualifies P5, over 7 tenths behind P1.

I've been trying to upload the video of max and lewis post quali for the past 15 mins now but its STILL. LOADING.

Max and Lewis talking after qualifying!

Q: What are your expectations for tomorrow? Max: "I don't think too much about it. Of course it can work positively or negatively for you, those two pit stops, so yes. In the end, it's 24 races, so you just have to tick these off at some point."

Max on Lewis impeding him: "At the time, you see the car blocking you, and when you're there in high speed, it's quite.. not nice, let's say it like that. But then I saw the team told him that I was driving slow, while I was clearly driving fast- So, it's not Lewis' fault. I

WOOOOOO!!! Hamilton gets a 3 place grid-penalty!!! which means Max starts P4!!
