Max is a prick as well, the only likeable person on that team  is Checo

Nice guys finish last

Q1 on the track halfway through and Max is up 0.21 on Hamilton 

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

Perez looks very busy, or fidgety, in the car

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

Russell doesn’t get through to Q2.  Danny Ric struggling mightily 

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

Sainz in P4 after Q1. Stroll with a nice lap at the end too

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

After first lap in Q2 Hamilton is 0.216 in front of Max

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

LeClerc in second as session is stopped 

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

Will be a quick delay.  Car already on the hook

[TonyTexas 10775]

Terrible qualifying session for Sainz. Incident coming out of the pits, investgation  for blocking, crash. 

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

Danny Ric doesn’t move through 

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

Vettel gets through.  Nice

Probably a blessing for him, can start on mediums.

They said earlier that Lando merchandise sold the most at Silverstone.  And there was a large group of teenage girls hanging around his hotel this morning.  Nico said not one asked him for an autograph 🤣

Good point

[RamjetFDO 10655]

That elevated homemade viewing stand was awesome.

[ChickenSandwich 9960]

Shocked RB went to softs in Q2. Doubt they would have been knocked out. 

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

Great first Q3 laps for Mercedes 

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

Very nice day for Alpine

[PittsburghTiger 6346]

They should not allow the guy to just drive so slowly like that. Either you go out with purpose or stay off the track

[ChickenSandwich 9960]

It is but the format invites that shit. Perez should have said fuck you both and hammered it.

Meh. Should the NFL outlaw killing the clock play calls at the end of the game?

[Anton Chigurh 3335]

I mean, Bottas and Ocon were right there. Gaps were similar throughout.

I don't know.

I get what you are saying but, this was in qualifying. Sort of like putting a chain on the locker room doors to not let your opponent out to the field.

[ChickenSandwich 9960]

They would let them go one at a time if they didn’t want some gamesmanship 

[Kdub 516]

Not watching, how did Perez get fucked?

[Goofyboy 3434]

Bottas was slow and I believe Ocon was in front of him going slow. Red Bull didn’t have to wait to let their guys out.

Lewis, Max and Perez were the last three cars attempting a second run in Q3. Lewis went extremely slow and Max just made the line before the clock hit zero. Perez, not so much.

TLDR - Perez only got one attempt in Q3 due to slow outlaps from Lewis and Max

Very end of Q3 and he was behind Hamilton coming out of the pits. Hamilton went very slow down the lane and on his warm up lap, keeping Perez from crossing the start line in time to begin  his hot lap. 

[Betty Blackwell 144]

RBR put themselves in that position. 
 

That being said, they haven’t looked great this weekend, and Perez was never going to finish higher than P4 anyway.

Perez might need a strong second half to keep the seat. With totally new cars next season, feels like less risk for teams to change drivers. You won’t see the familiarity gap you saw this season for those that made a change.

Couldn’t watch today but reading that Danny struggled…

Haha yeah. The continuing struggles in qualifying and then having a good race is hard to watch as fan.

He’s in a good spot to not be lapped by Lando tomorrow. 

[Chewbacca 7830]

Perez got fucked

In the end, not really. He didn't have the pace to pass Max, let alone Bottas or Lewis.

I though it was hilarious. And Max still got his lap in. He was the only one who could have gotten P1 or P2.

It was just Mercedes giving RBR some shit for all the poo they have been flinging the past 2 weeks.

[Chewbacca 7830]

He didn't get his final lap in, but it didn't matter.

Bottas should go to RBR if MB signs Russell.

I would think that he'd want to try to go somewhere where he's not the very clear sacrificial lamb to the #1 driver for a change.

[Chewbacca 7830]

Do you want to be #1 at a team where you have no chance, or #2 at one of the top teams and have a good chance at podiums every race? Only he can answer that.

[Kdub 516]

Bottas is being pursued by Alfa and Williams I believe. Pretty Merc is going with Russell next year

Isn't it theoretically not supposed to matter as much next year?

I'll believe that when i see it.
