    Perez…

    Not the time to be beaching the car when there are rumors of you being axed mid-season.

    Three brits on top of quali for the first time since 1968, and first time in Silverstone ever…

    We truly are in a british age of F1

      Sargeant is out qualifying Perez.

      Is it just me or is this becoming a weekly thing now

        Clever move by Perez. He figured most were going to out qualify him either way, so he placed the car in the gravel trap early to save the engine. /s

    Perez is having a horrid season. Parking it in the gravel in Q1 is illustrative for how his season is going.

    Three Brits at the top right now.

    Considering the floor damage, Max is still doing pretty well.

    Hulk also doing great.

    Do sky have special sources from the teams¿? The f1tv commentary still aren’t confirming that max has damage. How are sky so sure¿?

      There was a clear camera shot of a chip missing from the front of one of the fins on the underside of the floor.

      Journalists are in Whatsapp broadcast groups handled by the teams. RBR press officer sent a message into his group confirming the floor damage.

      Not just a Sky thing, quite a few F1 journos are in those groups.

        Weird then that this did not reach the f1tv commentary team.

          Well they would need someone to look at WhatsApp during commentary, easily possible that the F1TV team felt too busy to do that
