Have Red bull finally run out of sandwiches?
They just aren't flexible anymore 🤣
Got to be suspicious that overnight since the regulation check they've become a Q2 team
Can I be the first to say that was an incredibly satisfying qualfying
Two impeding incidents for Max now…
Three apparently 😂
My guess is Lawson and Ricciardo driving for AT next year to benchmark Lawson and give him experience, then Lawson taking the 2nd Red Bull seat in 2025 if he can hold his own against DR
Sounds about right, Tsunoda has good moments but isn't consistent enough, plus he is there via Red Bull's partnership with Honda more than their own driver development program

I would absolutely love it if this was the case!!!
I suspect RB have been force to quickly put some rigid parts on the car while awaiting a properly scoped and designed technical upgrade to supplement their bendy issue. I’m pretty sure they’ve been called out by drivers already. I remember Lewis saying something like “someone needs to take a close look at thier car” or similar.
it also reads as though Aston acted and took the hit earlier.
No penalties for Max - what a ruddy joke.
And Yuki didn’t go to the stewards. Just, just… 🤷♂️🤷♂️

2 reprimands but no grid place drop seems...odd

I suspect it's more to do with the circuit than the car, in the same way that the Haas has suddenly become amazing. 50p says that Verstappen puts it on pole at Suzuka next week
Yup, The Race are just saying that it’s a setup issue as they can’t run their normal, low, ride height this weekend. Max saying that they could see this coming on the sim and all is good again for Suzuka.
Sadly, as this does appear to be their pace for the weekend, there’s no reason to expect a charge from either of them in the race. Hopefully makes for a good race at the front though, as others try and seize their only chance of a win this season
Red Bull garage – ‘Helmut doesn’t work for us so we didn’t issue a statement about his comments’.
probably technically works for RB drinks not RBRacing as a cost cap dodge. He’s in the garage as a guest 😁
Stroll isn't racing today...."still sore"

Seb as stand-in driver?
Pretty please?? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻😆😆😆
They can't nominate a stand-in driver after qualifying is finished, apparently. AM will only enter one car for Alonso.

Did no know that.
Tho it makes zero difference to the points AM will score...
This is Strolls chance to run away and become a tennis coach at daddies tennis club 🤞🏼
Max is going to win, isn't he.
Hopefully not. Checo is making zero progress stuck behind Lawson.
Bit of a game of chess at the minute awaiting the pitstops.
I think that’s Sargeants F1 career over there. Sliding off track when under no pressure.
Nice one George!!!
Nice one Lando! 😀
Looks bloody dangerous with those red bulls at the moment.
Absolutely loving it every time Verstappen is overtaken right now
Come on Ferrari - open this gap up. Being cautious won’t win this.
Before the race Horner was saying it’s track specific the issues with the RB but how can it be? Surely there must be combinations of/individual corners at lots of other track that replicate bits of Singapore and they have a ton of data on it? Really interested to see next week in Suzuka and if it is related to this flexi technical directive and therefore going to harm them longer term.
And aye watching the RBs go backwards has absolutely made my weekend 🙂
Yep Max is dropping back from Leclerc with Perez acting as blocker for those behind.

But they knew from sim work it was going to be a problem here, and say the sim work shows it won't be a problem in Suzuka. We shall see.....

it can’t be - cars that dominate in the way the Red Bull has just don’t lose this much pace because of set-up. There have been loads of street circuits this year and they’ve just cruised away.
I doubt it will be as bad in Japan though.
Max is now losing almost a second a lap. If there are no more safety cars they’ll be lucky to finish top 10.
Yeah will be really interesting to see how it pans out in practice. I’m surprised at how much of a fundamental drop in performance it has been from such a dominant car. Perez is dead last just now! 🤣
Yeah - a ‘bad race’ for Red Bull would have been 2nd or 3rd.
Safety car Shirley!
Interesting to see what the top 5 do here with the VSC only
I so hope they’ve rolled that dice and they come up double six!!!
Yep me too. Looking forward to this!
The top three have just got to push now and hopefully destroy their tyres.
Don’t think there are enough laps left. Sainz will have this.
I think a Merc will be on top step
Mature, calm driving from Sainz.
Ooops!!!
Brilliant from Sainz!!!
Yeah well played Carlos. Feel for Russell! Awful way to end that race
What a finish! Oh George, oops! It’s so close without RB being there!
Lando on the podium again - hope those trophies are tough! 🤣🤣
