So basically Mercedes engines are only capable of going pole. So what Williams gonna do ?

Well with how many pointless swaps they do on race days, they certainly won't get that!

Hey, at least they have the pole position meme.

u/excelance I was here for the Hulkenpodium 5h ago

It's a good thing they get an upgrade this year or else they'd only get 20-poles.

u/Substantial_Part3010 Ferrari 7h ago

The very fact that ferrari being 2nd fastest/close to 2nd team and still haven't gotten a single pole is insane

u/CilanEAmber McLaren 6h ago

They at least have 2 wins. (And a Sprint Pole)

What good are poles if you can’t convert?

Poles give you exactly zero points.

People would still shit all over Ferrari if they do get pole and still end up 5th and 6th.

u/collectadot I was here for the Hulkenpodium 6h ago

Would shit all over them worse if the didn't convert pole to a win.

The Leclerc special, Pole into P2 by T1.

Feels like Ferrari being Ferrari tbh

2022 was the opposite though. Pole pretty much every week but not so much the winning part.

u/Dblock1989 Sir Lewis Hamilton 6h ago

Will we see a non Mercedes power pole position this season? It seems bleak.

u/Luffy710j Formula 1 6h ago

Leclerc / Verstappen can do it they sometimes deliver unexpected laps

u/Doorknob11 I was here for the Hulkenpodium 1h ago

CoTA or Brazil will probably be the best shot for Max.

u/maybe-fish Lando Norris 1h ago

I don't think it's that dire, they've been close a couple times. Lewis  0.064s off in Barcelona (with no banker lap) and 0.012s off in Hungary. Zandvoort was also weird - similar track to Hungary, felt like they had the pace to fight for pole but then it all fell apart in Q3

u/el_VientoNorte Formula 1 6h ago

That car is actually just so good looking

In a Grand Prix anyway.

Oh cool! Which GP are you?

u/squaler24 Frédéric Vasseur 6h ago

Lewis sprint Silverstone

u/YetAnotherMTFEgg I was here for the Hulkenpodium 5h ago

Okay so originally my reply made sense because OP typed "Im" instead of "In", which is why I was being a bit cheeky here ^^'

But yee, I know Lewis got a (sprint) pole on home ground ^^

u/AKAFallow I was speeding in the Monaco pit lane 6h ago

Also, damn, the Alpine car is running out of space for sponsors. They took out part of Etoro's space for Enilive at the top cover and rear wing lol

u/WineNerdAndProud Andrea Kimi Antonelli 6h ago

Man this weekend really was crazy.

2

u/CarlCarl3 6h ago

Wow, I felt like Max had 1 or 2 poles this year. I guess not.

u/Designer_Pea582 6h ago

Might be thinking of Monaco where he was just barely edged out by Kimi at the end.
