Oof, Perez...
Would really surprise me to see him at Red Bull next year.
Who would replace him? Yuki?
I know a lot of people are wishing for DR, but...is that really realistic?
How about Albon?
I doubt he wants to go back.
If Williams can find some money and keep developing the car it makes sense to stay. But if the money is not there then it makes sense to jump.

Both Williams in Q3 let's go
Sargeant is looking 50/50 if he makes Q3. Albon is looking pretty certain though.
Was there a big upgrade to their package or is it just a good track for them?
all aboard!
Are you a visionary or on an insane amount of hopium?
Yes
Albon has been carrying my fantasy team π
There has to be someone lobbying hard for Danny Ric to replace Checo, especially after 5(!!!) missed Q3s. That's extremely embarrassing for someone in the fastest car.
I don't wish harm on Max, but if he could bin it tomorrow and McLaren finish 1/2 I would be so happy.
My heart skipped a beat there when Lando was first. Excellent result either way and such a difference from the start of the year for McLaren
I literally gasped out loud and yelled out "OMG!" when that happened, not realizing Lando was one of the first over the line. But then the motorsports gods (aka Max himself) made sure RB got that P1.
I loved Lando's cheeky, "Max ruins for everything for everyone," in response to the interviewer mentioning Lando almost getting P1. I don't understand how people don't like Lando; I think he's hilarious. Obviously him and Max are good friends, too.
Excellent day for McLaren!

Everyone when there was briefly a Williams 1-2:
Stop the count!
Yo. I actually screamed when Lando crossed that line in Q3 and Piastri too. Super happy for Albon as well!
Time for another Perez dotd tomorrow after he qualifies 16th and finishes 4th
God damn has the McLaren improved. Also piastri proving a massive upgrade on ricciardo already.
Max Verstappen VS Turning Radius, truly a fight of the century
Perez out in Q1 again. Yikes.
Also what's up with the Alfa's just shutting off randomly? Isn't this the third race in a row it has happened?
Damn what an ending of Q1. Times just came tumbling down. Happy to see Williams through, the dream lives on
Looks like the McLaren upgrades might be the real deal, at least in these conditions. Still a way off Red Bull, but great to see some progress.
Disappointed with Alonso. Looks like other teams have caught up and overtaken their early season advantage, which is a shame. Losing out to, an admittedly racey looking, Williams won't go down well.
Hoping for some changeable conditions tomorrow.

Why Perez was sent out first I really don't understand.
Wasn't he still at the pit exit because he went out in the exact moment the pit exit closed because of the red flag?

Wow Max straight up snapped that front wing in two.
Perez canβt help himself. Williams in Q2!
Perez super lucky there. Guessing heβll at least make it through to Q2 now
Well this aged like milk

McLaren should design a new livery for every track. That's the secret sauce that's really powering the car.
wtf verstappen lmao
Sainz sounds like he's completely done with Ferrari. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Red Bull signed him to replace Perez. He was an RB junior after all.

What are the red things hanging from everyone's ears?
Will VER cross into 1:26:xxx?
Yay lando!
Ahhhhhhh!!!!!! Such a close thing for NOR.
What a performance by Lando and Piastri! Really hope McLaren continues down this path.
Excellent showing from McLaren!
