Perez sooooo lucky lol. Dammit Bottas. :cry:

Emlyn_Dewar · 2024-07-27T15:42:48+0100

Yeah, Perez would have been sweating a bit looking at those times...
Good Q2 though.

He needs to take whatever he can. I almost want to see him on pole. Starting to feel sorry for him.

Please dont. Hes dragging the team down to where Red Bull might not even win constructors. He should have been fired at the end of last season.

Oh, don't worry. I still want him out by next race.

I have to admit as much as I think it’s ready to bin Perez, I’m not sure either of Ricciardo or Lawson will be much of an improvement this season.

SpartaP · 2024-07-27T15:54:22+0100

Max absolutely blitzed that. Perez is right where he should be at the moment. Definitely needs this if he wants any chance to stay at redbull

poosemon · 2024-07-27T15:54:51+0100

Verstappen in a league of 1 today. Don't think the 10 place grid penalty is going to hold him back on this form!

Psycho Ned · 2024-07-27T15:55:07+0100

Max seems to have brought out the first 6 race Red Bull here cruising round half a second clear.

Emlyn_Dewar · 2024-07-27T15:55:52+0100

Thing is, if it's much drier tomorrow, I don't know what he'll be able to do. If it's conditions like this, he'll be laughing.

I think it's more to do the Redbull is better in wet conditions here, look where Perez is . We'll see how they do if it's dry tomorrow

Nice mix at the front for tomorrow with Max starting down

Mr Jack · 2024-07-27T16:03:05+0100

Where did Leclerc's lap come from? Great stuff.

GravyMonster · 2024-07-27T16:03:25+0100

It'll be interesting to see who's got more wet-biased setups on tomorrow

chrismscotland · 2024-07-27T16:03:27+0100

The Red Bull is clearly a better car v many of the competition this weekend; even Perez is looking decent

Stu999 · 2024-07-27T16:03:37+0100

Nice for Charles. Perez needs a good result tomorrow to save his bacon.

Mesai · 2024-07-27T16:03:46+0100

Glad it's Charles at the front.

Max is in a league of his own but will see whether that car setup translates to a dry race.

Only crumb of hope is that in the FP2 long runs his tyre deg looked inferior to McLaren

We don't know how it'll be in the dry though
