Yep. Hamilton said post qually exit they are still experimenting with setups.Merc really are a mess, both customer cars running in front of them.

More worryingly for them, the car has 70p of downforce that does absolutely.....nothing.
They have a fundamental car design issues that make no sense.
I guess they'll force the stewards to go through and find precedent where cars have stopped but not been recovered and been allowed to keep qualifyingIs that rule meant to be for cars which stop and need recovering? Or just any car that stops?
There must be loads. Plenty of cars spin out in qualifying and continue. It’s far too judgmental to say there’s some kind of time cap on how long cars can be stopped for. The only thing I can think of that’s different here is that the session was red flagged before Sainz got moving again.I guess they'll force the stewards to go through and find precedent where cars have stopped but not been recovered and been allowed to keep qualifying
Shouldnt be too hard I'm pretty sure I remember cars stopping on escape roads in Austrias qualy.
That's how I read it. If the car can continue on its own power it should be fine.Is that rule meant to be for cars which stop and need recovering? Or just any car that stops?
Why? It's nothing different than it was in many periods before.Such a great/fun sport this has turned into. What a turn around since Liberty took over. Bravo.
He has finished 2nd three times and 5th once so far this season. I would say that is exactly what you would want from a second driver. Horner is on record as saying the seat is Perez's to lose, and I think it would reflect very poorly on them if they got rid of him when he is reliably getting them 2nd place finishes. What more would Sainz bring to the table? They don't want anyone to actually challenge Max.Got around to watching the sprint, enteraining few laps at the end. Dont understand why alonso got a penalty after the sprint. It was really good racing.
Will be a utter travesty for f1 fans if perez keeps his seat next year and isnt replaced by Sainz. Cant remember the last time a driver was so bad in a rocket ship of a car.
They dont, but the fans certainly do. Not saying Sainz would beat Max over a season, but he would be much much closer and win some races on merit. Would make the domination abit more interesting.He has finished 2nd three times and 5th once so far this season. I would say that is exactly what you would want from a second driver.

I don't disagree with any of that, just that it's not in RB's interest to have a driver that could challenge Max and maybe upset the apple cart. They'll happily take Max winning every race and Perez a distant second every day of the week, despite how utterly boring it is.They dont, but the fans certainly do.

Perez is pulling his finger out, but hes a distant, distant 2nd place. Just doesnt deserve the drive. If RedBull dropped him, who would want him? Williams maybe? Or Haas. Thats the level of driver he is.
