Qualifying highlights from the official F1 YouTube. Events of note include:

  • Lots of track limits violations, and many of the stewarding decisions around them taking too long to be delivered, leading to confusion about the leaderboard.
  • Q1 spin at turn 1 from Bottas red-flagged the session temporarily.
  • Q2 sees Perez fail to advance after getting all three fast laps in Q2 deleted for track limits. This is now the 4th consecutive race that Perez has failed to advance to Q3 and qualify in the top-ten, while teammate Verstappen has taken pole at each of those 4 races in the same car.
  • Q3 saw Norris pull a P4 out of a hat. Maybe those McLaren upgrades are working after all.
  • Two hours after the session ended, Verstappen was called to meet the stewards for potentially impeding Magnusson, putting Max's pole result at risk. Max was cleared though, and his classification at the front of the grid remains.

The grid order was posted already at https://sh.itjust.works/post/601233

He definitely reached Q2 once this season, don’t remember which race it was though. He’s got the right minerals, I just think he needs some time and at the very least a marginally better car. If Williams sack him right after this season, I think that would be pretty cruel and unwarranted.
