When was the last time that there was a driver performing as poorly in a great car as Perez is at the minute?

He has certainly been very poor since winning in Baku.

I've heard people say that Perez is a confidence driver. The way things are going will he ever get his groove back?

What's interesting is that if it was Max who was starting p15 on Sunday then we'd all think he'll easily get up to the top. With Perez, not the same.

Missed the sprint race, read up on BBC F1 about it. Was Perez's manoeuver shitty or is Max upset that someone passed him and it was his teammate?

It was a bit shitty, Perez claimed afterward he saw Max too late or something and I think they talked it out. Didn't seem like bad blood between them afterwards.

 

[Franco Pinion]

Hopefully a different race from the sprint where Max won by over 20 seconds in a 24-lap race!

The Ferraris were close in qualifying but can they compete over the distance?

 

[Son Of Jack]

Here we go - carnage before turn 4?

 

[Franco Pinion]

Safety car?

 

[Bandit]

What happened? I didn't see anything.
