OCOs fault.
Does he accelerate before Perez passes him? I mean it's dumb stuff anyway to park on the apex but I swear he watches for Perez then starts to accelerate!?
If he did I think he was just trying to maintain through the corner. The prob is he’s in no-mans-land

he is not slow, though, "just" doesn't get it together (yet?). Also in Bahrain on Friday he looked quicker than Schumacher
I would be astounded if he finishes the season at Haas.
It would probably be more astounding if this statement is fulfilled. You should be more concerned about the fate of Vettel than that of a rookie driver.
In 2006 Yuji Ide was stripped of his super licence after 4 races because of his lack of experience. That could very easily happen to Mazepin if he doesn't improve.

Difference is Mazespin is funding a whole team. He's also not 2-4s behind his teammate or done anything dangerous yet either.

Just showing why he's probably one of the most disliked people in F1.
The article "forgot" to mention the two most important things: Marko winked and said it with a smile.

"What else do you have rear view mirrors for? This was clearly Perez's fault," Marko told ORF.
"He overlooked the fast Ocon and then it went wrong."
" ... rear view mirrors" for Ocon and "the fast Ocon" who was in a slow lap and Perez in a fast lap.
You need to watch this.

I'm leaning more towards Perez of who's at fault. Looks like Ocon sees Perez late and tries to avoid him by parking on the apex. However, that corner is quite fast and Ocon is on a piece of track of which Perez would like to use to optimize his speed through the corner. Perez is behind him and should've realized that Ocon had seen him late and backed out. A little bit suprised that Perez went for that since it was practice and he would always end up being comprised in that corner in terms of laptime.

A bit clumsy, could've been avoided. But there were some circumstances that can sort of excuses the drivers a bit. But not entirely in my opinion.

Tsunoda furious on the radio a few times, swearing a lot in FP3, and now in the wall. Bad day.

Looks like the Red Bull gearboxes are very on the limit. (Verstappen in FP2, Tsunodas crash)

Incredible the amount of damage done for a relatively minor shunt in F1 terms. AT boys have a long night ahead of them.

Alonso and Ricciardo are ultra slow :(

I think the Alpine with a decent driver would be not so bad, someone 2-3tenth faster than OCO like RIC Was

Dont think so, unless they are hiding pace. He had 2 goes at it. Same as the Merc boys, and both Mercedes improved on their second attempt.

Yeah, good job the 22 was in the wall, otherwise Alonso would have been out already.

I think it's mostly because the car was moving sideways but hit with the rear. It's not meant to absorb a hit that way.
