Max should tow Perez into Q3 and then get the favor back in return during Q3.
Desperate times desperate measures :lol:

Marko was just asked about it, and said they will not give each other a tow, as it usually doesn't work anyway. He expects it to be close, and Verstappen could end up everywhere between 1st and 7th. Focus is more on tomorrow, though, when it will come down to keeping the tires alive in traffic.

Yeah gaps should be quite small unless someone has sandbagged massively.

margins are very small and a tow can be worth 1/2 tenths

if they don't use Perez to do this I will call the police to get them arrested

The used tyre run in Q2 was very impressive from Max

I think he had the tow from Checo, he did 26.389 in S1 where he is struggling the most; I hope they tested that for Q3.

If Max is going to need an other engine for the rest of the season, this might be a good time to take it.

Perez went off the track in lesmo 2 and ruined the rest of Max's lap. Max pretty much hesitated into 2nd lesmo with the dust cloud and then Perez sat in front on cool down through Ascari. Then he pulled off the track in the middle of the run to parabolica instead of giving Max him the tow.

It's a bit of a mess really. There's no strategy here.

When they went out from the box together, I was thinking the exact same thing, that it will be bad if Perez makes a mistake ahead of Max.
