Was Perez Just Unlucky Or Out Of Form? (lemmy.world)

Perez crossed the line with just enough time for another lap and the only driver to do so but failed to make it of Q1.

Was it due to the tyres being too cold from waiting for ages at the end of the pitlane or because he's not on form lately?

It seems that all the drivers that went out first all had slower times.

Do you think he would have done a better lap had he been able to complete it?

I can't see the weather from my home, but the fact that he went first in a track that was drying in what became a one-lap shootout was kinda dumb from both him and RB. They should have tried to go as latest as possible.

The reason he didn't do another lap was probably because he ran low on fuel and probably didn't had enough to do another flying lap, but at the same time this is not the first time he doesn't go to Q3, and I am afraid if RBR will lose their patience and drop him at the end of the season. I do not see RBR picking Ricciardo, but they have some good drivers on reserve that can go to Alpha Tauri and bring Tsunoda to RBR (not saying Tsunoda is better than Checo, but he is younger which is a huge plus)

Not excusing his bad performance. But I think he maybe was already out of his pitbox when the red flag came out? So he was kinda stuck there?

[–] __lb__@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Ah. He just said they thought the red flag took longer then they expected and he couldn’t get temperature in his tyres after that.

[–] dimspace@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

He didn't get the second lap in because there were double yellows.

Here's the thing. We saw Lewis do his very best to try and block max and prevent him getting to the line in time. Max wasnt playing and went past him. Checo would have sat behind Lewis and reached the line after time had already expired
