They had just put new tires on him before the red flag. He hadn't done a hot lap on them yet.

Clearly if Perez is allowed to qualify 2nd, the chance of a first lap wreck between them goes up to 75%. Red Bull is protecting their assets by making Perez start at the back of the grid.

As much as I hate to admit it, max is really talented

Does that mean I want to watch him win every race because he's in the best car as well? No.

Honestly give them all red bulls for one race, I wanna see how it turns out

Lando set provisional pole with his last lap of the session and then Max immediately set a time a quarter of a second faster

He's talented to a point but he's also going up against a teammate who is now pretty firmly in the back half of their career, has always been pretty sporadic, and in a team that from all outward appearances seems to be stacked against him. so the blow out results against Perez isn't exactly surprising.

I'm skeptical that max would be capable of the kind of feats Schumacher pulled off in his early career where he was taking shitboxes that were the 3rd or the 4th best car on the grid into championship contention. If either Ferrari or Mercedes got their poo poo together and Max was in the second best car suddenly I'm fairly confident you would see that reflected in the results.

lmao the second verstappen was told he wasn't in first, he opened up enough to beat him in the third sector alone. He's got more pace that he's not flaunting right now.

Best qualifying all year though, hands down

It's a Red Bull, you could get it out of Q1 with 4 sundials on the corners if it's driven by someone with a functioning hippocampus.

Just thinking about what to do with all the money I don't have.
I felt like Checo got really screwed by the red flag timing, and then sitting at the pit lane exit waiting for the session to resume. Only had time for 1 more flying lap on used tires, and being first out on a rapidly improving track. Everyone behind him had a better track to work with.

However...

With how dominant Max has been in that car you'd think Checo should be able to beat more than 25% of the field even with a handicap.
