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.
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.
- That was a truly ridonkulous lap
- Fingers crossed it's enough.
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.
Unbelievable by perez.
Lpine
- L Plan
Perez's P45 incoming....
- Yeah tomorrow is going to turn into an extended testing session for the second Red Bull....
  
  Maybe they can build some data on who is gonna drive it after the summer break
Glad to see Tsunoda's ok. Geez what a crash.
Riccy my boy
Mercs weakness in session planning exposed. Shit like this is why merc and McLaren haven't overhauled RB yet
Holy shit.
Perez..
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.
Just pull Perez. It's getting sad.
McLaren is on fire today and Sainz is having a pretty good showing, I'm excited about this!
The rain is on!
- They're going out on slicks, for now - fingers crossed we're in for a spicy session
  
  Q1 should be wild at least, maybe the whole way through.
I'm not even surprised at this point. Checo in the rain is a match made in hell. Is there a worse wet weather driver on the grid currently?
Alpines didn't go out on track at all after the session resumed?
Looks like Russel had time for another flying lap at the end with everyone else, but just didn’t? Did he try but mess it up?

Edit: Ahh, he didn’t have enough fuel
- Merc didn't fuel him up till the end
