This is starting to get embarrassing for Checo. I thought people were exaggerating how precarious his position was but if he keeps performing like this RB might actually be forced to take action.
Imagine if RB had an actual competitor, Checo couldn't support Max at the front at all if he keeps going like this.
-
Insane how great Max has been running it’s really overshadowed how poorly Checo has been
-
Yuki to RB please
-
My hot take is that Yuki is pretty much set to take the second RB seat pending Perez’s overall performance. If Perez continues to be abysmal, I’m sure that RB will drop him using a performance clause in his contract.
Everyone likes to rag on Yuki but since Gasly has left, Yuki stepped out tremendously. Not to mention that he’s been dragging that shit box to mid-field a handful of times. Helmut Marko even commented on Yuki’s performance and Marko never compliments anyone unless you’re Max and Vettel.
De Vries is going to get dropped to make way for Liam Lawson.
RB/AT seats is going to make silly season fun.
-
I really don't think Yuki would be an improvement. He's been inconsistent and his highs haven't exactly been amazing. They'd be better going for Riccardo or the Hulk or Sainz imo.
-
-
Perez was leading the pack on a damp track. It was a bad call to put him at the front. And the gap between him and tenth shows it.
-
Makes you wonder how fast the racing point actually was in 2020 lol
-
Ricciardo must be grinning
-
When is Ricciardo not grinning? 😁
That lad deserves an emoji of his own!
-
-
-
McLaren wtf Zack is so fucking pumped, proud of that guy. What a performance from Norris and Piastri.
-
Haha, yeah, he's really excited, understandably so.
-
He put a shit eating grin on my face watching him charge around the garage damn near punching everyone with those high fives!
-
I'm right there with you, I was grinning the whole time watching him. So happy to see those upgrades coming through for McLaren. Lando deserves a good car.
-

-
Petition to make Max drive a formula 2 car to keep races competitive.
We can leave Perez in the Red Bull, it’ll be fine.
-
Just make him swap with DEV
-
-
Love to see McLaren back at the front, very interesting to see so many teams getting competitive. Just ignore Max and it’s a bloody interesting season.
-
Norris: "Max ruins everything for everyone"
Ahahaha preach it
-
Max drinking his water during that section of the interview to stop from smiling that shit-eating grin of his 😂
-
-
Really impressed by Piastri, magnificent for a rookie
-
A very interesting quali, and hopefully an interesting race tomorrow as well.
Delighted by the surprise performance by the two McLarens, happy for Piastri especially. Up until this point I was feeling none of the rookies were making much of an impact. I don't usually root for McLaren but I definitely will tomorrow.
Perez needs to get his shit together or it might be curtains for him...
-
McLaren back for good?
Albon was faster then Alonso all thou qualifying. Crazy.
-
Perez, what the hell man
-
Lol 5 times in a row missing Q3
-
This time, I honestly can't blame him. Being put completely at the front was the worst position to be in, and that is on the team.
The previous 4 races though, those are on him, and are embarrassing as fuck.
-
-
It's great to see promising McLaren performance a second race in a row!
-
Max parking between the two McLaren’s: chef’s kiss
-
holy shit mclaren!
-
McLaren and Albon making me really happy right now
-
Sainz once again being screwed in favor of leclerc
-
Don't worry, they'll both get screwed by Ferrari on race day. All in due time.
-
-
McLaren what???????
-
Damn McLaren. That was an exciting 2 seconds on Lando on pole lol
-
I saw Max with a yellow sector two and I thought Lando had it. So excited for those two seconds before Max ruined it as always.
-
The same as Monaco. :(
-
-
-
Zak Brown amped
-
Norris and Piastri going 2-3, just as we all expected.
-
Just as expected...
-
-
Perez out, again lol
-
Lol How does that happen. Facepalm moment for Max
-
Given the turning radius on these cars, and the sometimes very narrow pitlanes, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.
-
-
McLaren! Chrome is the way to go!
-
Holy Norris, McLaren is in there today
-
I’ve got my hopes up that Williams and Albon are able to translate their top 3 times in the free practices to a good position in this qualifying.
-
Would Yuki be better than Perez in a Red Bull?
-
I can't believe Lando is still just 23 years old. McLaren better give him a damn good car for the long term, he can put up some exciting championship contending seasons.
-
I'm amazed Albon is still scrapping in the top right now
-
Honestly, good for him. He's matured as a driver and it seems like Williams has finally figured out how to make a decently fast car.
-
The Williams is legitimitely good this weekend.
-
-
We all know Norris is great but Piastri looks the real deal too. Exciting future for McLaren if they can build on this, especially with the new wind tunnel coming online soon.
-
This season will get spicy if McLaren becomes the second fastest car
-
Or Williams (if they can obey track limits).
-
It's refreshing to see Williams actually turn these good quali's into points this year
-
-
-
LETS GO NORRIS
-
Waiting the whole season for Max to make a single mistake and when it finally happens it's in a Q1 that doesn't matter
-
After struggling to log in for twenty minutes, the qualifying thread has been pinned! Let's go!
-
Would you consider adding a mod or two so someone else can pin threads when you're not here?
I feel like it would help the community grow a lot if there were multiple mods.
Thanks

Perez’s saving grace is that he is in the fast car and can come back through the pack to reclaim some points or a podium.
Luckily for RB Max is winning all championships on his own so whilst not great it’s not terrible.
If his race performances were off too he would have been gone before now. RB dropped Gasly and Albon for less however more was at stake then when they were not smashing everyone else.
People need to stop voting him driver of the day though.
Pumped for McLaren. Loved Zak’s reaction in the garage.
It is really best case scenario for Perez to have an off period. Max is winning everything and there is a large fight for second best so the rest of the available points are being spread around every race. As long as Checo has an occasional good race, there is absolutely no risk for the constructor's for Red Bull.
