RIP Perez Title Challenge

25/02/23 - 01/04/23




He's dug a little bit of a hole for himself excuses wise as he's literally just said that this car suits him and he's bonded with it etc.

Looked more car than driver to me.

Not sure I buy that. His FP3 was absolutely awful, and he battered that car. If its a car issue he likely broke it himself I'd expect.

Albon and Williams looking fast today, fantastic

[Sandpit Steve]

One second covers 2nd to 19th. Brilliant.

Williams look good, McLaren not so much.

[motomk]

Albon and The Hulk going good

[GiantCardboardPlato]

Fascinating

Driver tracker is broken again, marshals doing well with the white flags.

[GiantCardboardPlato]

JB making silly prediction quite a bit

“I’ll be staggered if anyone gets green sectors on these tyres after so many laps”
Hmm

Earlier

“Max ALWAYS gets the best out of a car”

Max is 0.5 seconds down in sector 1 after sliding massively.

Maybe they should just leave it off.

I fear the advert I’ve just seen is revealing of F1’s viewership/age profile

It began “bending down to put your shoes on is kind of a pain…”

Until there’s a massive crash involving a slow car?

[Catweazle]

Oooh, Norris.

Oooh, Norris. Again.

Hulk and Albon both into Q3. Ocon unlucky, missing out by 7ms. Norris nowhere close.

[Piginapoke]

A Williams in Q3, who’d have thought it?

[honda_exige]

When do we start talking about Albon getting another shot at a big team?

Think he's driving himself into replacing Perez and a 2nd shot at the RB seat if they skip Danny Ricc.

Dominated Latifi by the same margin as Russell last year and is pretty effortlessly dealing with a highly rated Sargeant.

• also I think Danny Ricc might end up in Haas next year given Hulk seems to be showing what it can really do.

Why does everyone rate Zac at McLaren so highly? Been going backwards for several seasons now.
