So why the fuck is Perez driving for them next year?!
- Sponsors maybe? I'm not sure at this point
  
  They're gonna regret that sponsor money when they lose the constructors championship
Identical lap times for pole! Crazy. Second time in F1 history.

Hamilton was doing so well. Dang, was hoping to see him higher up on the grid.
Damn, Perez 🫠
- RB might not win constructors this year if he keeps this shit up.
  
  Ferrari didn't excel today either. I hope they get some points tomorrow
  
  Conspiracy time: rb gets more windtunnel time if they win drivers but not constructors...
- I’m someone who very superficially follows F1. Can someone tell me what he did?
  
  Perez failed to make it past the first qualifying round, finishing 16th, while his teammate, Max, grabbed the number two spot for tomorrow's race.
  
  Bounced in Q1.
Ferrari 💀

What a bonkers qualifying so far.
.0001 time difference lol
I'm sorry, but this is why you dont give someone who's grossly under-performing a 2 year contract at this point of the season.

You use the possibility of a contract to motivate and then reward performance

You dont give the contract and hope that motivates them to perform

I mean at least its distracted from Horner, everyones laughing at Checo now
- I think they were hoping that the comfort of knowing he’s safe would help him but clearly that hasn’t worked.
  
  He’s on a 1+1 deal so if this keeps up I doubt he’ll get the +1.
A tie at .000, That's a nice number
This season is evolving into an absolute classic. Look at the margins
Holy moly indeed, Russell.

Wonder what happened with Albon's rear right tire.
- First guess is the wheel nut started to come out of where its captive and was stuck. That's just a guess though.
Rain could make it an interesting quali.
Curious to see if Lewis has something in the bag today. That seemed like some lap he put in, in FP3..
When qualy is this amazing I barely even care about the race to be honest. What a great show that was.
Perez 💀

Sargeant had quite a decent lap. Monstrous Q1 for Verstappen.
How are Merc suddenly doing so well, and Ferrari so slow?!
- Ferrari sent both cars out on used tires for their finals runs of Q2
  
  Classic Ferrari strategy...you cantndo badly in q3 if u never get into q3...
Interesting stroboscopic effect with Max and the AWS logos.
