Needlessly painful and awkward to tell him there :?

I guess P6 isn't the end of the world but it would've been a lot better to start among the Mercs

If we get penalties - it might be P9 and P13. With a car that is capable of P2.

At least it should be a race where you can overtake.

And as usual punishments are delivered depending if you are a Red Bull or not. Well time for both of our drivers to throw down on Sunday.

Perez in a Red Bull literally got removed from Q3 due to a track limits infringement which is what just hit McLaren as well. Please stop being so tribal with this man

I think Max just has that much pace that he can just take it a bit easier - less likely to make mistakes if you are not pushing 100%. Whenever he feels threatened he was able to pull out a mega lap.

Is it? Certainly better than Singapore and probably Suzuka, but that DRS straight looks like the only place you can make one stick, hopefully we have the top speed.

I know you're thinking of Singapore, and probably frustrated generally. But these were fair and consistent penalties, just a rare disappointing and unnecessary double-error from our drivers.

There's only one fact I'm glad about. The car has pure speed. I won't even discuss the rest.

if they think they can get it to Mexico I'd do that, we could still get a podium from P10 imo if we are 3-4 tenths faster than the Mercs. But honestly wouldn't mind if they take it here, punchy and aggressive.

Honestly I think this now makes Sunday way mor exciting, we have the race pace to get a podium again
