These used tyre runs from Mercedes just seem utterly pointless.

General point about penalties: seems unfair to allow cars that you know are starting from the back to run in qualifying. Sebastian, for example, would have been through to Q2 and may have improved and got in to Q3. He's still going to start in front of Max et al, but in effect his afternoon is cut short when those at the front are already going to be running at the back.
Thus it has been for some time…
Oh, yes, I know. I think it's wrong, that's all.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

So Red Bull aren't going to tow Perez?

Apparently not ...
Overall, Q3 was a bit of a weird anti-climax ...

Tbf Perez didn't tow max either. Max was 8-9s behind Perez on the road in the first run so they just were opting not to try to get a tow imo

They could have got Perez ahead of Sainz.

The team decides on these things, not the drivers. If Red Bull had asked Perez to give Max a tow, he would have.

That ultimate pace of Max in the RB. Just destroyed his team mate and everyone else. And it didn’t even look like he was pushing to the limits. What a stellar car/driver/team combo at the moment

Did he need tow with such a car?

Most drivers improved on the second run and if that applies to Max if he would have run, he would have been probably even faster.
