Anyone want to continue saying Perez is a legitimate championship contender?

 

[Dennisch]

Tssk tssk. Perez is going the way of the Leclerc.

 

[NotThePrez]

Woof. Perez and Russell knocked out of Q2, but both McLarens are into Q3!

Looks like Russell accidently moved across the front of Hamilton as well.

Yesn't

Perez himself will continue saying it.

Bizarre incident between Hamilton and Russell

Yeah not quite sure what Hamilton was hoping to achieve there. Absolutely no space to go down there with a Ferrari on the right.

There was space, but Russell turned back into him

 

[HenrySwanson]

Blegh

 

[TumeK5]

What is going on?

 

[PaMu1337]

What is going on?

Absolute Verstappen dominance is what's going on

Absolute Verstappen dominance is what's going on

I meant the positions from P2 and down

 

[Veinz]

Alonso must have had a lot of damage.

When even Stroll is faster, you know something's wrong

lol Sainz and Norris are going to slow everyone else down tomorrow and Max will have the easiest win of his career.

At the start of both doing hotlaps there isn't space, the gap was always going to close with the Ferrari on the right. Lack of awareness from Hamilton and poor communication from Mercedes to it's drivers.

Sainz is the only driver that's even remotely close to being a threat tomorrow. All other usual threats are way too far to the back

The way I see it, Russell moved to the right, creating a gap wide enough for Hamilton. Hamilton assumed he did that to let him by. In fact Russell didn't even know he was there (fault of bad communication by the team), and turned back into Lewis.
In the end, it will likely be judged as Russells fault.

 

[Veinz]

Max’s only threat is the gearbox on his car.

Strollonso!!!

 

[PaMu1337]

"Really? Interesting!" Has got to be the best response to hearing you qualified P3

 

[AshenGraey]

You remove Max from the group and there's nothing between the rest of the field. That was an interesting Qualy. Shocking from Leclerc, Russell and Perez....speaking of which, if he keeps up that form, that driver championship will be wrapped up before the summer break!

 

[Dennisch]

Perez to Alpha Tauri. You heard it here first.

 

[Veinz]

Perez to the golf course at this rate.

 

[Liquid]

I'm fairly certain that Verstappen will win by +40s unless something goes badly wrong for him.

Prove me wrong, race.

 

[PaMu1337]

Perez to Alpha Tauri. You heard it here first.

How are you seeing this? De Vries out, Perez takes his seat, Ricciardo takes Perez' seat?

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Perez to the golf course at this rate.

And he'll beach the cart in a bunker.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Perez himself will continue saying it.

Yes, but whenever he answers those questions his response is halfhearted. I don't know if it's because the order in the team is set or if he knows that it would be a steep hill to climb.

 

[TumeK5]

It's a bit ironic that Gasly got a three place grid drop for impeding Verstappen and Sainz - who qualified P1 and P2, respectively.

Edit: Two three place penalties, so 6 altogether!

 

[Mr Grumpy]

Danny Ric rubbing his hands together.

Sargaent is becoming the new Latifi. He started the season so well
