    Identical lap times for pole! Crazy. Second time in F1 history.

    Hamilton was doing so well. Dang, was hoping to see him higher up on the grid.

      I’m someone who very superficially follows F1. Can someone tell me what he did?

        Perez failed to make it past the first qualifying round, finishing 16th, while his teammate, Max, grabbed the number two spot for tomorrow’s race.

          Oh damn… he seemed to be doing really well earlier in the season. That’s disappointing. Thanks mate

            There has always been a pretty large gap between Perez and Max in terms of performance. It’s been speculated that it is more a matter of the competition’s cars getting faster than Perez’s performance declining. They have found a way to catch up with Red Bull car and only Max’s skill is keeping them ahead.

    I’m sorry, but this is why you dont give someone who’s grossly under-performing a 2 year contract at this point of the season.

    You use the possibility of a contract to motivate and then reward performance

    You dont give the contract and hope that motivates them to perform

    I mean at least its distracted from Horner, everyones laughing at Checo now

      I think they were hoping that the comfort of knowing he’s safe would help him but clearly that hasn’t worked.

      He’s on a 1+1 deal so if this keeps up I doubt he’ll get the +1.

    Holy moly indeed, Russell.

    Wonder what happened with Albon’s rear right tire.

      First guess is the wheel nut started to come out of where its captive and was stuck. That’s just a guess though.

    Perez 💀

    Sargeant had quite a decent lap. Monstrous Q1 for Verstappen.

    Curious to see if Lewis has something in the bag today. That seemed like some lap he put in, in FP3…
