Points and laughs at Perez

I'm not a Red Bull fan so one part of me hope they keep him and he keeps up this performance.
The other part of me that enjoys the sport says that they need to find a way out of his contract asap.

I think there is zero chance Red Bull didn’t put an out in his contract of some sort. Maybe an out after 2025. They would probably still promote one of the RB drivers next season and eat the cost of this continues

Wondering if the Red Bull is lacking speed or if the floor damage cost Max. Should be a banger tomorrow

They’re saying “significant” floor damage now. Take that fwiw, I don’t think that car looked locked in before that.

Definitely one of those qualifying days that could set up for a great race.

If Sainz doesn’t find a good seat next year it’s a travesty. He’s been getting everything out of that Ferrari. Ferrari is going to end up with the second best Ferrari driver and the second best Merc driver.

Just a guess but I'm wondering if he thinks the Merc seat could still fall to him, and that's why he's still waiting.

McLaren Pit Strategy/Work not ideal today to say the least.

Who would have guessed that Merc would have back to back wins before the break.

Does feel like another one where McLaren blew it, they ruined Oscars race on the first stop and Lando stopped a lap to late and should have had Mediums on. RB nailed it all day and gave themselves a chance with a car that didn't look fast enough.

F1 is so good right now.
