Bahrain: 1:33.273 who could beat it?

Firstly, I’m in no way defending Mazepin as a person or driver.

However, the bashing he’s received since Sunday led me to thinking about what level someone would need to be at to achieve staying within the 107% rule and getting through the first two corners of an F1 race.

Driving the Haas car, what would your expected quali time (in current form or with 6 months training for non current F1 drivers) be for:

Verstappen:
Stroll:
Mick Schumacher: 1:32.449
Mazepin: 1:33.273
Hulkenburg:
Button:
Coulthard:
Sébastien Ogier:
Chris Harris:

I'll play!

Verstappen: 1:31.811
Stroll: 1:32.222
Mick Schumacher: 1:32.449
Mazepin: 1:33.273
Hulkenburg: Dunno who this person is
Button: 1:33.823
Coulthard: 1:33.686
Sébastien Ogier: 1:34.148
Chris Harris: 1:38.338
Yourself: Upside down over the fence.

Well that went well

Thanks for playing Barbaric!

I’d have gone with similar times to you. Mazepin had a shocker, but I still don’t think his jump from F2 makes him a complete dunce in an F1 car. Yes daddy has money and that’s always going to help, but he undeniably has some talent to have won F2 races.
