Perez 😭
Congratulations Liam Lawson/Danny Ric on the promotion.
I won’t lie, I’ll be slightly upset if DR gets the promotion before Tsunoda
Will but seems hard to justify his seat in Red Bull.
I desperately want to see Lawson in an RBR car, but does he pass the Marko test? I can’t remember the last time I heard him talking about him positively.
While we’re at it, wouldn’t mind seeing Hadjar in a seat for Danny Ric, see how he gets on.
That team breaks younger drivers and number 2s. I want better for Lawson than driving for 3 races and getting shit canned.
A fair point. I suppose the counter argument would be that they are at least cycling through the #2’s in order to give them a pop at top-tier racing (Albon, Gasly, Max, Kvyat etc) while there are second seats at teams which are a literal career death sentence like Ferrari (Barrichello and Irvine to Schumacher, Massa to Alonso, arguably Sainz to Leclerc).
I just don’t want Lawson “doing a Sam Bird” and being an incredibly talented driver waiting in the wings for a drive that never comes, that would be such a shame.
Coming from a long time Perez supporter, I’m well past the point of pulling for him and into getting frustrated with his continued poor performance. Given that he’s chasing Max I think a couple slip ups or bad results are absolutely fine, but he can’t keep binning it into the wall or ending up outside the points.
I want him to do better so badly because he is fully capabale of it. Its rough, both he and us deserve better.
Mega lap by Norris.
Fingers crossed it’s enough.
That was a truly ridonkulous lap
mf really turned a 1+1 contract into a -6 month contract…
Wow Hamilton scrapping by the skin of his teeth
Perez chooses death yet again. Jeez.
Perez…
Unbelievable by perez.
Mercs weakness in session planning exposed. Shit like this is why merc and McLaren haven’t overhauled RB yet
Riccy my boy
Lpine
L Plan
Glad to see Tsunoda’s ok. Geez what a crash.
Holy shit.
Well, Perez can thank the rain for allowing him to start 15th rather than 20th tomorrow 🙃
Edit: welp, the rain is stopping, so I stand corrected
Rip. P16.
McLaren likely to move second in constructors. A chance for some decent strategy vs the one Red Bull - can they pull it off.
