I saw them put wets on, but they didnt send him out.
Should be getting a penalty
If Alonso is saying it impossible, then call it.
Sainz will be getting a penalty, the question is how big.
Personally I think back of the grid.

I was impressed with Max, never took any chances, just got on with it.
Surely Sainz should be investigated for more than 1 incident
He set up a fastest lap any time he was out today, didn't he? Pretty much everyone made a mistake or bad lap now and there, except Verstappen.
The guy is clearly league on its own.

Yeah he did it twice.
Back of the grid would be the only fair outcome. I mean, how many times did he impede? Completely fecked over Gasly that's for sure.
Anyone got the quali times?
Impressive by Max to grab another second with more rain coming down.
Expecting a double Merc podium tomorrow

His team read the situation well and put him in front to start the Q3.
Yeah, the guy is on another level to anyone else on the grid. To put in that time when it's chucking it down is unreal.
Wet, to dry, to wet again. Would have made a really chaotic race. Shame it petered out in the end. But top lap by Max.
And not just once but three times. What was he thinking?
I mean from his own lap initial lap.
He was always going to go quicker on his second lap, because of the RB anti-dive system on the front of the car means a RB needs 2 laps to get tyres upto optimum temps.
Parking it in the middle of the straight as well. Its bizarre. Once is a accident, twice is careless, three times? Thats just utter incompetence from ferrari
Max Max Max, Super Max Max, Super Super Max Max Max, Super Max Max!
Calm down , maybe cut your sugar intake
The man is a monster. Yeah the car helps as it always does when someone does well -but the cojones he showed again to put that large of a gap on the rest of the field in the wet while literary drifting at times is just something you should simply admire.

There is a heavy overweight of Lewis Love on this forum. Someone needs to be the counterweight
When is the last time Max made a mistake that cost him? I’m sure he has but I genuinely can’t remember. Way too consistent and I’m not just talking about this season.
What???? Sainz only got a 3 place grid penalty? what a yoke
That’s what happens when you poach drivers from McLaren…
Good benefit, minimum egg on face for Ferrari.
Lucky it’s not during the Massey days or he’d be toast.
Someone didn't do their yob this ebening
3 place grid drop for Sainz after 3 incidents any one couldn’t caused a huge accident and Hulk gets the same for a red flag issue, just crazy.

Nah, I think the love and hate is spread pretty even for him and Max.There is a heavy overweight of Lewis Love on this forum. Someone needs to be the counterweight
Personally I think both are excellent drivers , Max at the top of his game right now and both can be utter cocks.
I give praise and criticism when needed.
Unlikely to make a mistake while hes sleep driving to the title. Needs a proper challenge from outside RB to see how he copes with the pressure of a proper championship challenge.
Not his fault, fault of other teams not producing a car thats good enough.
Hes doing what he needs to, thats his job. Driving very well though.

Agree with this statement.
Yes it was good driving by him. But swap him out of that RB for alonso or hamilton and they would have done the same.
Theres a reason these guys are the best of their generations, they have the talent and the ability to use application of said talent. However it cant be understated just how special this seasons RB is. It might be the best car they have ever created in F1.
When a car is that good and you have the talent to go with it, you can make it look very very easy. Hamilton did the same during the domination of mercedes years.
Ferrari remind me of us.
In other news, Verstappen is still completely unreachable.

Hulk penalty is a joke.
Tsunoda gets a three-place grid penalty for impeding Hulkenberg in qualifying. Drops him to 19th on the grid.
FIA stewards at it again. How Sainz only got a 3 place grid penalty is beyond me. It's as if they looked at all incidents as 1 infringement instead of separately. Should have been 6 or 9.
