Expected outcome really. It was unfortunate that he was there at the wrong time, he had nowhere to really go. But impeding is what it was.

This. I didn't think he'd get away with that one.

Looks like it might be a weekend to forget for Lewis, but hopefully he can still get some decent points.

Wonder if it's worth him taking a new PU and starting at the back.

If there's nowhere to go, how is it impeding? They can't be expected to teleport out of the way.

Daft.

Looks like Williams are having a terrible weekend.

The problem is, where do you draw the line with these things? Lewis should have perhaps been told to get clear of the corner before Perez arrived.

Well if you're on your out lap or in lap then you are deliberately going slow, so there is always somewhere to go, it's called ensuring your race engineer communicates what cars are coming up behind you and when. The track gets busy so it's inevitable they don't always get it right, not sure how this is anything but Ham/Mercedes' fault.
 
Williams driver Alex Albon has been disqualified from the results of Saturday’s qualifying session at Zandvoort due to a breach of the technical regulations.

Albon had qualified eighth for the Dutch Grand Prix but will now start from the rear of the field thanks to an issue with the floor of his heavily updated car.

The stewards’ conclusion read: “The floor body of Car 23 was found to lie outside the regulatory volume mentioned in Article 3.5.1 a) of the FIA Formula One Technical Regulations.

Genuinely gutted for him. He'd been on the pace all through Q and starting P8 in that car was one hell of a result.

Not a big fan of this track TBH. Not sure what the race will be like.

Same.
Its not a favourite.

Hoping for a piastri win with Russell 2nd but it's a big ask and unlikely.

Would also love to see perez actually perform and beat max. That would really ruffle things up!

Really want to see Albon get some good points. Great showing for him/Williams. Probably the stand out drive for me.

Not expecting much excitement tomorrow. But grid does seem nicely Jumbled in mid field.
