Wow. Perez out in Q2
I will keep saying that I have no idea why Red Bull renewed his contract.
That was very poor from Perez, but Red Bill need to ask why so many talented drivers (and yes that includes Perez) are failing with them
Couple of shockers in here.
Knocked out in Q2
11) Sergio Perez, Red Bull
12) Lance Stroll, Aston Martin
13) Charles Leclerc, Ferrari
14) Daniel Ricciardo, McLaren
15) George Russell, Williams

That has to be Mercedes fault. RB should protest.
It must be that moreso than other teams, the car is designed for Max. I’m sure that’s the case at Mercedes too, but the difference is Bottas has driven it for a long time so is more well versed in setting it up for his driving. I guess with such a revolving door in that second seat at Red Bull, that impact is amplified.
I would say that all of RB resources are being directed to Max, as is perfectly understandable.
Could be the Max effect, all attention is on him.
It would be interesting to know, too much focus on golden boy Max?
Bottas isn't great but is often at least on the podium/ solid qualifying
Where is this Alpine performance coming from.
Perez lap looked OK, just could not get the time.
Interesting analysis there on Sky. Looks like Perez was overtly cautious.
Wasn't aggressive, seemed like any of the 19 drivers on the grid could drive that lap.
Lewis and Bottas out already
What are the track bounds here, sainz had no Part of is tyre on the track but on the red and white corner stones, I thought that was usually beyond track limits.
Yeah , safe lap, not really testing track limits.
Max with no wingman hands the advantage to Mercedes.
Front row lock out will see Horner fuming.

Will Max be happy 3rd, slipstream for turn 1.
Lewis out first again
This is the sharp end of Q3
This is the sharp end of Q3
Lewis first to start last flying lap, Max will be the last.
Lewis with a monster lap.
1.20.827
1.20.827
I already let out a 'feck me' when he improved .250 in sector 1.
No yellow flags for Max 0.455 behind Lewis.
That's is a huge gap.
That's is a huge gap.
So did I.
Last lap in Q3 he has done some huge laps.
Get the start in the race, perfect pits and strategy, should be a win for Lewis.
Just goes to prove that Mercedes must be cheating. RB should protest.
Impressive from Lewis. Looked like Bottas lap was impacted, as it would have been interesting to see if he could get closer to Lewis.
Perfect. Hope he gets gastroenteritis and can not leave the toilet. All weekend.
Does Max ever give plaudits to someone for a great lap?
Is that rainbow design helmet by Lewis? All power to him, if he win tomorrow, hope he wearing it to podium just for shit and giggles.
Wonder what Horner is going to say
Max second, he will get a tow into turn 1.
Max second, he will get a tow into turn 1.
Hoping the dirty side of the track hampers him, and Bottas can slip Hamilton up ahead of Max.
He’s so nondescript. Such a nonentity.
Immense lap and I hope he actually comments something in the interviews.
I'm sure they've already got Albon running simulations
Haha, pretty spot on. "Generic F1 driver, not too slow, not too fast. From Mexico"
On board footage from Lewis was amazing, perfect lap.
Horner backtracking on straight-line speed, says Mercedes looks normal.
Nice praise for Lewis from him.
Not what I was expecting from him

Nah Horner ended by saying that the load test is working because Mercedes straight line speed closer to them now basically implying that Mercedes stopped cheating now that they were gonna be tested
does anyone know what kind of lap Gasly was on? Haven't seen anything anywhere.
edit: 1,5 tenths faster according to the man himself
