Disaster for mercedes there, if race pace is go by if max hits turn 1 1st he's gonna be gone
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not really.
Disaster would be back of the grid (and no pace).
Moreover, if you are going to have a crash, grid penalties or mechanical failure...sprint qualifying is the least damaging event for that.
George 4th & Lewis 9th can make up places in tomorrows sprint with their strong race pace, which will put them in a better position for the important main longer race on Sunday.
George even retaining the 4th place is good for main race (with optimal pit / race strategies), but I'm sure he will be thinking he can get the jump on Sainz into the first corner / lap.
Lewis will breeze past the Alpine & Haas on raw pace tomorrow, the only way I see them being problematic is only if there is a DRS train (aside from that, they can't compete with a car that is matching the pace of RedBull & Ferrari).
Perez 13th!?!
Track limits in Q2 was noted
Went on to Q3 and finished 4th
Penalty applied after qualifying where they’ve used his fastest time in Q2 for grid position.
Seems harsh and a bit VAR like… interesting to see if this becomes the norm

I should have made it a bit clearer, I meant the damage to cars and poor qualifying as they could have been front row and now extra costs
Quite enjoying these Schumacher battles
Nice max wins, perez shoots up the field and get among ferrari tomorrow
See Lewis bumping his gums again
Guy needs to grow a set
See Lewis bumping his hums again

What he said
Start so important here might be proven wrong but like yday if max is in front 1st lap can see him gone
Perez ahead at the corner there, If the rules follow that should be a penalty

Lewis criticising fans cheering his crash. He might have a point if he weren't celebrating like mad with max in hospital last year, where fans were also celebrating max' crash
Surprised ferrari didn't split strat, looks like max will be caught be about lap 34,35, and just depends if he can catch ferrari on mediums over the last 30laps or so
Leclerc 1 sec faster per lap
Well done charles great race
WOOOW! GET IN CHARLES!
Absolutely incredible how he managed those final laps with a sticking throttle! I’m in shock
Feel for Carlos… it looked like something exploded in the back of that car
Thing is now unless the red bull blows up 5 points being made up doesn't do much they really needed sainz to finish
If Schumacher keeps driving like that it won't be long until he's in a Ferrari.
Poor guy.

disagree, neither car screams reliability. 1 or two DNFs and strong finishes for Charles and its a complete different story. the further into the season the more tense it will get also.
