don't think De Vries is going to make it to the end of the season
he isn't the future at Red Bull anyway, might as well see what Lawson can do
He's looking terrible and has been all year. I started off thinking he'd get the whole year, but at this point it makes no sense to keep him in that car.
Max not enjoying the track limits
Looks like the iRacing ones are accurate
PER with the deleted laptime
This has been an awful season for him. I think if he continues like this through next year they'll find someone to replace him (and it won't be RIC)
Put him RIC in the ~~Toro Rosso~~ ~~Roro Tosso~~ Bed Rull next year.
I say give Yuki a shot next year, he has been improving and is more consistent
I'm inclined to agree. Yuki has matured a ton and you can see it in his driving. I'm worried it's still a little too early, but at a certain point it's sink or swim
It's so hard to get excited for a lap here as I'm just waiting for it to be deleted. These track limits are not making this fun. Cutting corners I can accept, but outside track limits in this case feel too much.
Good point... on the outside, the track construction should make it disadvantageous enough to stay on the tarmac.
Unpopular opinion: FIA tried to solve this when they decided not to monitorize track limits in Bahrain 2021. But they received a lot of backslash, both from fans and from a certain team. So FIA decided instead to go for a more strict approach, and as a result, that certain team has a driver on P15. Karma.
Bottas pointing the wrong way with a car that won't go into neutral
That was quick
Bottas spins in turn one
Eliminated in Q1: TSU ZHO SAR MAG DEV
Why the red flag now?
Looked like BOT was stranded after a spin in T1, was looking like a mechanical problem. He got it restarted just after the RF was waved
Yeah I just tuned in and it seems like they weren't sure whether or not he can get it out of the grass himself. They might just be extra cautious with flags now given how bad they were with safety measures so far this season
Yeah looks like they were just making sure incase he was stuck fully
Track limits are going to determine who wins now?
Coulthard: “i don’t see the white line moving around.”
I have a hard time excusing track limits. I know some folks hate the frequency at this track, but IMO there’s no excuse for not keeping it in the lines at this level of Motorsport. Other tracks are much less forgiving for track limits which removes the need to delete times - with an easy runoff here, i have no issues with the times being deleted for running outside the lines.

Perez missing Q3 for his fourth race in a row with what’s easily the fastest car on the grid is painful to watch.
He has seemed like a steady hand to back Max up who could be great on his best days, but where is this atrocious form coming from?
Overdriving to compensate for being slower than max
I think it's a mental thing. He's a great driver on a good day, and has the race pace often to back that up. But when Max runs away with it Checo pushes himself harder
Eliminated in Q2: RUS OCO PIA BOT PER
Pérez outside Q3 for the 4th time in a row, this time due to track limits
Albon and Hamilton with the same lap time
Perez wow…
