Track Map
Perez…
Not the time to be beaching the car when there are rumors of you being axed mid-season.
Seemed early to switch to slicks. Don’t know who made the decision.
Could it be floor damage for Verstappen?
Edit: Brundle confirms “significant” floor damage
Three brits on top of quali for the first time since 1968, and first time in Silverstone ever…
We truly are in a british age of F1
One of them must take the win surely
A Haas out qualifying a Ferrari? Now there’s something you don’t see every day.
Both ferraris right?
However you want to cut it. KMag out in Q1,LeClerc in Q2.
I meant it as hulk is in front of both ferraris
Well yes, but he really only beat Sianz head to head. Saying that doesn’t do much for you except give you a marginally better starting slot.
Oh boy, Sergio beaches in the gravel
Let’s fucking gooo, Williams.
Sargeant is out qualifying Perez.
Sargeant is out qualifying Perez.
Is it just me or is this becoming a weekly thing now
He is more often in front of perez than in front of albon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Clever move by Perez. He figured most were going to out qualify him either way, so he placed the car in the gravel trap early to save the engine. /s
Man out here playing 5D chess /s
Perez is having a horrid season. Parking it in the gravel in Q1 is illustrative for how his season is going.
From the Monaco curse to now the post-Monaco curse 💀
Three Brits at the top right now.
Considering the floor damage, Max is still doing pretty well.
Hulk also doing great.
Crofty going wild!
This is like a wet dream come true for him
That was unexpected
Do sky have special sources from the teams¿? The f1tv commentary still aren’t confirming that max has damage. How are sky so sure¿?
There was a clear camera shot of a chip missing from the front of one of the fins on the underside of the floor.
Journalists are in Whatsapp broadcast groups handled by the teams. RBR press officer sent a message into his group confirming the floor damage.
Not just a Sky thing, quite a few F1 journos are in those groups.
Weird then that this did not reach the f1tv commentary team.
Well they would need someone to look at WhatsApp during commentary, easily possible that the F1TV team felt too busy to do that
Damn everybody at red Bull must have had a heart attack for a moment or two
Wow. That was good.
Perez and Ricciardo with the same mistake in the same corner lol (Ricciardo was mucky enough not to beach himself)
And now Max too, something with the RB®s in that corner
