Checo piling up the errors. He gave away an easy 2nd place by going off track and then gave away the podium by speeding in the pitlane, when there was no race going on

His levels of fail are nearing that of the Ferrari pitwall

Unfortunately for you Zhou ran out of talent on the inters to cause the red flag. Not entirely surprised. I enjoyed watching Oscar race up and down the field.

Ultimate kick to the guts of Checo though when they decided to pit Max first after they had put on the inters and Checo was leading. Clear sign there is no Red bull future for Checo. Got to say Albon has to be close to next in line for the drive.

It was fun to see how much faster really Max is when it looked like the win was on the line.

Stakes still high for Max & RB. 9 in a row so far, and winning every single one left for the record books is something Max surely wants. No matter how much publicly he says he doesn’t care about the stats.

Winning 18 in a row would be incredible, sounds far fetched but certainly possible seeing how he’s killin it every week.

Pretty cool editing

Bottas got it right, but got shafted by his team

Max just so mature. It’s like he plays a final table with surviving as top priority as he knows he’s got card advantage. Aces, kings are coming. Don’t force anything.
Patience is key.

This analogy would make sense if the player in question knew he's about to get aces and kings and his opponents won't

Looks like we might have an actual challenge for Verstappen this weekend. So far the gap Ferrari is more than expected and overtaking will be difficult if RB ends up behind the second row after qualifying.

On race days, RB team just seems to get it done regardless. Quali will be a fun watch, see how RB will make the necessary adjustments and take away Ferrari’s steam.

Leclerc is the odds on favorite to take pole tonight. I hope him & Carlos do well so I’ll get a better price for Max on Sunday.

Liam Lawson knocks Max Verstappen out of qualifying, lol. Anyone dare suggest that Max won’t even finish in the points?

Both Red Bulls out in Q2 LOL
Max outqualified by Lawson by 7 ms
And he's gonna get smacked as well, 3 or 6 grid places

Exciting stuff
This is what we wanted to see

Wide open now. Holy sht! Good for Lawson capitalizing on his shot. Might steal that seat for good.

Checo fk up, not surprised.
Stroll crash, not surprised.
