Red Bull are bringing a "downgraded" spec car to this GP to see if it improves performance.

Great, great stuff from Norris. LeClerc too with a fantastic race. Big shoutouts also to Gasly and Hulkenberg. Solid stuff from Ricciardo.

It won’t get noticed much at all but a really good race from Sargeant. Held off both Tsunoda and Magnussen, both on fresher tyres, for a long long period of the race. Albon without the qualifying DQ would’ve scored points for sure I’m thinking.

I know Sargeant rightly cops a lot of flack but the most disappointing driver for me this season has been Zhou easily. It hasn’t been as noticeable as say Perez or Sargeant because Sauber have been so damn awful, but he is consistently ridiculously off Bottas’ pace by some margin, which is kinda out of nowhere compared to last season.

Apparently Lawson may be taking over Sargeant’s seat for the remainder of the season.

Norris getting fastest lap at the end there was pretty impressive

I totally agree—Norris and LeClerc had impressive races, and Gasly and Hulkenberg also stood out. Sargeant did well to hold off Tsunoda and Magnussen for so long. Albon would likely have scored points if not for the qualifying DQ. While Sargeant gets his share of criticism, I’ve found Zhou’s performance this season the most disappointing. He’s consistently slower than Bottas, which is surprising compared to last season.

Yeah I don't think it's an exaggeration to say Perez is pretty much racing for his F1 career this race

I agree Perez definitely seems to be racing for his F1 career at this point. It’s a crucial moment for him to show what he’s capable of and secure his spot for the future.

Is he? Even if he wasn't one of Horner's boys, Sergio's agent is clearly a gun and he brings big funding. If he wants a seat he will find one.

 

[Coronis]

So apparently Lawson didn’t get the Sargeant seat because RB didn’t have an assurance they could just snap their fingers and have him back. Going in with no expectations for the replacement driver. Will be interesting to see though. Will he prove Albon as the secret GOAT or that Sargeant just did really suck?

Even though it's nothing new, it really is disappointing. One of at least 4 drivers that shouldn't be, or haven't earned their spot on the grid.

Gg Antonelli haha

He'll be fine. He's Toto's son.

Probaly was putting too much pressure on himself and pushed to hard

It's weird as well given how much Red Bull have done for young drivers in the last 20 years.

It's been a long time since qualifying was this close in the top 10. Race tomorrow should be a close one.

Lando also uniquely placed to put quite the dent into Max's lead.

Sergio closer to Max now 🥸

Verstappen / Perez both off at the first corner - Verstappen to be at fault after Perez outjumps him, and Max will of course refuse to accept that it was indeed he, he turned in/out on Sergio, and not the other way.

Let's put this into the atmosphere....

Stayed in the same hotel as one of the lowly F1 teams years ago & one of the drivers was some young dude who just happened to be the son of a billionaire

Everyone knew that his seat was paid for but that didn’t worry the bevy of women in his entourage
