I thought this was going to be policed better?

It was.

Perez did a second lap and improved.

Every driver that did not improve got their time deleted.

That’s not how it works.

They don’t say ‘oh we’ll just wait and see’ you need your time deleted and it’s deleted there and then. Not eventually after siting on it for 10 minutes

That's the first run in Q1, he did another one.

Irrelevant. His time wasn’t deleted. So much for new stricter rules.

Yet they managed with Zhou.

Well I was wrong they are almost all on Softs.

Yeah the cars can follow.

Bottas... yeah it was always nasty Merc team orders

[GrizzleBoy]

Ferrari engine ridiculous on traction.

[f1jcw]

Max engine grumbles is getting as legendary as Lewis's tyres are gone

Merc don't have the the striaghtline speed

KevMag's lack of recent race experience showing with two lots of outbraking himself.

[Hoffman900]

The lack of slipstream effect seems apparent though.

Indeed. Even with DRS Hamilton is struggling to catch the Ferrari.

In a F1 car. He was racing IMSA last year. He got more seat time / race experience last year than any F1 driver.

Yep. Sainz is disappearing on the straights.

McLaren though......geez.
