Yeah he was 0.1 down after the first 2 sectors but think his last sector on the first lap was pretty slow so getting it right 2nd time round made the difference.

How (long) are the straights here? I noticed on one of the Merc onboards there was pretty much no bouncing. Are we over that now or?
We'll find out when it gets back on the street tracks

Wonder if the so called F1 fans at the circuit would be cheering if RB crash, they should be ashamed of themselves cheering a car crashing.
Commissario
It's nothing new, I was at Silverstone when Schumacher went into the wall and broke his leg. As the crash happened and was shown on the screens, a big cheer went around the entire circuit. For them to suggest on the commentary today that it's something new was quite surprising.
Soldato
I was only half watching q while watching tennis and missed the Perez incident, seems most unusual to delay time deletion if so clear cut!
Still no news on decision?

Well, outstanding work from the Mercedes drivers there. Just top notch. The team needed the cars pulling apart to figure out what's wrong with the design this year, so both Hamilton and Russell oblige them by trying to dismantle their cars against the barriers.

Like the commentators said, I can't remember the last time Hamilton binned it with no contact from anyone else. Magic brakes at Baku perhaps, not that he hit anything.

Fair enough, can only base my opinion of the videos from the crowd that did the rounds where there was no gleeful cheering after the impact.
Soldato
Yep, fully agree. I was also at Silverstone at that race.......................................the roar from the fans (me included) was massive. As was the roar from the fans in 2010 when Webber beat Vetel followed be the now infamous "not bad for a number 2 driver" radio message.

Hockenheim quali in 2014 ? He sort of binned it at Hockenheim in the 2019 race as well.
Those can sod right off!

Pérez has all Q3 laptimes and his time from Q2 deleted. Not sure where that puts him.
Russell warned for walking across the track.

Because they failed to act in time. Sloppy mess. Not fair to Pérez, not fair to Gasly.
Soldato
More like they used up sets of tyres...
Soldato
I didn't really understand the slowness with this, but we don't really need to right? F1 stewards are hardly known for consistent speedy decisions.
Feel bad for Gasly and AT, but understand Red Bull's frustration also. Was quite tedious seeing constant track limit violations. Would be better if they just put gravel everywhere, or walls... Drivers would keep it in between the lines then.
