Speedy Gonzales and Slowpoke Rodriguez.
Bank holiday weekend too 😎
Do we think there'll be any movement from Sergio Perez? There were rumours a while back that he may announce a retirement at the Mexican Grand Prix. I'd be surprised, but you never know…
Movement from whom? 😋😋
I guess he has until the end of the season to see what his fate is going to be - get sacked/demoted to RB/retire - no rush.
I mean, he's obviously gone at end of year, from RB period, so it would be good for him to have a homecoming and announce it.
Otherwise he's getting ricciardoed at the end of year anyway
Tyres
Williams will have a special livery for Mexico. What has been teased makes it look like it might be the old Camel/Canon livery:
Looking forward to seeing how the rookies get on in this session, and Pato O’Ward. Bearman in the Ferrari this time.
Not 5 mina in and Kimi caused another red flag. Drove over some debris rather than crashing this time. 😁
Another red flag. Albon into the wall (after clipping a slow moving Bearman through the bends). Bearman out too.
Albon and Bearman tip I'd say.
Having to suffer through Rachel Brookes and Danica Patrick! I like how Mclaren roll out Pato to keep the Mexicans happy
Had Albon already lost it before he hit Bearman?
Yeah but I’m wondering was that because he saw a slow moving car just ahead and reacted.
Yeah so Albon lifted off mid corner after seeing the Ferrari and lost the car. Crap load of damage to that Williams.
lol Danica is rubbish on commentary.
She's just rubbish. I don't know why sky keep bringing her back.
Red flag, Russell in the wall for the second time in a week
Big shunt that. He put a wheel beyond the kerbing which bottomed out the car. Thankfully he looked ok but I thought I saw a bit of a limp as he walked to the medical car? Possibly another start from the pits come race day. If he wasn’t able to race, who are the reserve drivers for Merc these days? Not Schumacher is it or Kimi even?
That Mercedes will need a bit of work to buff out those scratches
Nasty enough crash, just tried to take to much of the curb, car bottomed out
McLaren's right to appeal denied. Turns out their relevant new information was the steward's decision itself, which makes no sense. By that logic, every decision is itself new information, so you'd be in an endless cycle of rights to review.
It's a good thing for Merc they didn't have enough of the new upgrades to put back onto Russells car after last weekend
Nice to hear Sky are still banging on about the Lando penalty in cota
McLaren a mile ahead on the qualifying runs in P3, a half second a head of verstappen in p4. Perez in p14, jaysus.
And they did their best laps earlier than the others. They’ll be favourite for pole I guess but the race is there important one. 🙂
I still reckon Ferrari have an ace up their sleeve.
good evening lads. I know it can’t happen every week but this qualifying at 10pm on a Saturday is great. As it’s a bank holiday weekend I’m having a can or two. That’s a new one.
Yeah the evening sessions are great. Hopefully it’s a close one and no poxy yellow or red flags to screw ppl’s laps up.
I do try to watch some of the build up from sky but that is normally the European stretch as it’s not as cringe. The US races and to a point to Mexico, I don’t watch because Danica Patrick is involved and that’s a no from me.
oh dear Sergio. Improvement needed good sir.
Good evening.
