From the onboard that didn't look great from Verstappen on Gasly. I know he had a lot more pace, but I thought you had to leave space. Cynical brain says it won't even be looked at because of the drivers and the race situation though...

They don't even need a second driver anymore. ... They might next season though. why, whats going to change next season New cars? This is the first season where the current Red Bull-Verstappen combination has made the 2nd driver's performance moot regarding the constructors. It's weird to think tha...

In some ways losing that much time to Max with them both on in clear air on the same strategy is worse for Perez. A bad as failing in qualifying is it at least gives some mitigation for the race.

Delayed again. There's also some burst drains at eau rouge, they might as well just pack it in now.

I doubt that was burst drains, more likely just backing up from the amount of water. If anywhere is going to drain fast it's going to be Eau Rouge.

Verstappen's engineer fully giving it back to him after he complains about how they run that session.

wolfticket

Russell should be driver of th day over Perez for me With the other car having 33 seconds on the field, anything less than 2nd from pretty much anywhere on the grid probably doesn't really warrant driver of the day. Obviously impossible to tell, but I reckon Max might have won starting from the back.

wolfticket

I'm not sure Perez has the best overtaking technique. Lots of risk in a much faster car. Compare with Alonso setting up Bottas into turn one with no view to actually getting past, just getting a much better run and driving past in the 2nd DRS zone.

wolfticket

Absolutely stupid from Ferrari if they aren't shouting for Leclerc to let Sainz by. What's the point of that strategy if you're going to hold him up? Because it'sa Ferrari. They do things beyond our understanding. It seems like maybe they only expected the soft to be faster than the medium for a fe...

I like the format, so often drivers run out of tyres going into Q3, now they all can do 2 new soft tyre runs.

Yep. Irrespective of the merits of what motivated it I think I quite like it.

Dumb question - on Sky, what determines the order of driver names on the time sheet when no times have yet been posted?

I think it's sector times posted. They seem to roughly rearrange in the order they are on track.

wolfticket

I don't hate this tyre format I think. Seems quite natural to me.

wolfticket

Props to McLaren for judging that tyre call correctly, proved us wrong... still don't understand it though - how are the softs working so badly when Russell just did 30 laps on them I think there wasn't a big delta between tyres so what worked well for each car was important. They probably knew fro...

What lap will we have a red flag/SC for protesters then? I suspect there will be some dubious policing with the names and faces of anyone who has participated or attend a Just Stop Oil event. Most will be arrested before lights out for 'breach of the peace' then de-arrested and released. They seem ...

Did Piastri not have the upgrades? I thought it was confirmed that he did this weekend. First I've heard that is this thread. But if Piastri didn't that is performance of the season. He's really growing on me and excellent to see McLaren do well. Could turn out to be the best combination of drivers...

Need to keep the chrome.

I reckon that'll probably be it unless it's a long Red Flag. 3 minutes probably not enough time to get the track as good as it was.

They really don't mind having that Red Bull sat there for a long time.

oh boy, more penalties incoming, I wonder if alonso noticed something and waited until the end of the race to inform the team.

My guess is that he was fully focused on not exceeding track limits himself, so AM are confident they can only gain.

wolfticket

Aston Martin are protesting the race result. No word for what reason yet. More track limits drama? I'm guessing that since Alonso seemed to be being very good track limits they've been going through footage of people ahead of him with a fine tooth comb to see if anything was missed when tallying up...

Hulkenberg showing up Magnussen again this race. Makes you wonder how he would be doing in the second Red Bull seat. Probably about as badly as Perez, considering they were very closely matched during the significant time they were teammates together. Wasn't he faster in qualifying? He was a little...

Everyone pushing to make sure they're within 5 seconds of the car in front.

Weak from Norris, not defending the inside line.

Fighting that Red Bull isn't really his race. Sainz has more motivation to hold Perez up in order to protect his teammate.

wolfticket

Not losing 5 second is going to be quite powerful here.

Hamiltons relaxed comment to the BBC after finishing 18th in the sprint shootout says a lot about what the drivers think of sprint races: "Timings not right," he said.

I'm watching F1 for more than 25 years, I always thought track limits is a very silly thing. On some tracks (like this one) it really comes down to lottery.
