What's up with Max? He is struggling, making mistakes and got beaten by Perez for the first time! Luckily, his championship challenger is a mess.

I don’t understand this. Monaghan said the real test was Sunday so let’s see.

again a very good Q2 lap, then a mistake in first Q3 run and finally a messy second Q3 run, not good

at least Lando/McLaren made worse

you will see Max struggling to get to top 4

at this point I just hope he can finish ahead of Lando, they must capitalize on this opportunity

We have the pace...

Marko says Verstappen's turn 16 mistake cost him 6 tenths at least (= P2), and confidence for the 2nd run. Tomorrow he expects a podium, and the 2nd set of hards only to come in play in case of a safety car.

But still very sad, if Max was third or second I would take it easily. But this second part of the season is just bad for us. We need to stay ahead of Lando.

Hermanos Rodriguez is not a street circuit, don't let the Go-Kart like redesign of the epic Peraltada corner fool you.

It's the sun, and probably race pace will be more important as tyre window is key.

a bit too much copium from Marko, as usual lately; podium will be impossible tomorrow, P4/P5 best to aim for but real target is to finish ahead of Lando and keep the gap with one race less

Either the pressure of having McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes in the mix for wins has gotten to him or the RB20 isn't complying with the demands Max is putting on it. Perez always goes well here, it's a bit of a weak track for Max. But that doesn't explain why the RB20 looks like an also ran at the moment in qualifying. The race could well be a different story.

I think Max will just about win the drivers title, providing he doesn't DNF a few races. The constructors looks like it might become a 3 horse race if Ferrari capitalise tomorrow and get a 1-2 finish.

Nothing is impossible. But the race has to be perfect.

I don’t think it’s as bad as it looks. They changed Max’s car. It’s quick in S3 now. I think they can get on to the podium. You have Russell, Sainz, and Piastri ahead. I think Russell and Sainz might be in Max’s race.

That is unless they ruin it with Perez like Spa…

you also have Perez, not sure they will get him out of the way, not even sure he will be slower than Max actually

let's see tomorrow, but really I was hoping for something more after Lando knockout and that good Q2...damn this season is getting frustrating :D

The pace seemed good at least. Onto Sunday. I think Max will be able to fight for a podium
