Perez started ahead of Colapinto in the Pitlane.
Franco finished the first lap a few seconds ahead of Perez...

Just didn't pay attention to the lights it seems 🤦

Looks like Red Bull is just doing a practice session with Perez. Trying on a new wing, the old one didn't look damaged.

Oh wow, Lando let Oscar by? 😮

Thats for Brazil. Awesome from Lando.

And incredibly well executed.

Yeah, it was quite a risky move. George wasn't exactly far away

Edit: "The team told me not to do it" 😄

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Risky, but nice gesture. Solid chunk of points for McLaren heading into tomorrow. Ferrari still so close.

Lando - “I’m not here to win sprint races, I’m here to win races.”

Sounded like he stopped himself from saying real races.

Lando - “I’m not here to win sprint races, I’m here to win races.”

Perez - "I'm not here to race races, I'm here to test for Red Bull"

What an embarrassment, overtaken at the pit exit because he didn't realize the race was on lol.

Meanwhile Russell keeps his meme alive.

Norris did the right thing at the end, it could very much pay dividends.

Now we are 7 years since this video title from the 2017 Hungarian Grand Prix, we can safely say "No he did not". This was the nexus point in the Hamilton-Bottas partnership where Bottas trusted Lewis implicitly, hence why he was then always willing and without complaining the Number 2 driver who got out of Lewis's way when asked.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Checo seems more on pace this weekend, let's see if he can get it together for qualifying later on today if they can fix the 🤬 car. Max was meant to be able to qualify on pole with a Haas but now can't beat lead Haas in a race in a Red Bull!

Will be interesting to see how they perform in the next couple of races. They were confident going into last race weekend due to TD they forced, kind of dobbing themselves and others in, that it will show true pace of cars and since then, they look very ordinary although they were expecting to win from it.

Checo not eliminated in Q1

 

[PaMu1337]

12 & 13 is respectable for Sauber

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Perez in to Q3?

 

[Mae Borowski]

Checo through to Q3 should absolutely not be as surprising as it is

Hopefully Bottas can sneak into the points tomorrow. Hate for him to go pointless in maybe his final year.

Finishing 23rd in a 20 driver championship is a funny stat though, especially considering that he drove every race

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Eh, second row for McLaren isn't bad. Keep it clean tomorrow!

Best qualy result since Azerbaijan for Perez
First pole for Verstappen since Austria, 12 races ago (he qualified first in Spa but had a penalty)

Wonder if he will get penalty again, good to see they fixed the car so we have more teams in the fight. Max reaction after first Q3 run looked like he would go for it on the last run to get pole, helps that he hindered George for his final lap too.

 

[Terronium-12]

Perez made it into Q3. He's secured for another 10 years.

The bar is not just low, it's under ground!! 😂😂

About that...

 

[McLaren]

He got a penalty point as well for it, to the surprise of many.

Decision:
Drop of 1 grid position for the next Race in which the driver participates.
1 penalty point (total of 6 for the 12 month period).

 

[Veinz]

It was pretty sketchy tbf.
