    Once Max has got past Fernando, there’s no way Sergio will be allowed to win the race

    Perez on Mediums so no issue about team orders on track as Perez will have to pit first! All planned out for Max.

    Think he'd be better off with an old RS Cosi.

    It’s a bloody awful track for these big cars.

    Dreadful stuff so far this season.

    It's pretty bad given the hope we had of closer racing at the start of last season.

    There is no excuse for Sergio to not be far closer to Max on 20 lap younger tyres.

    Dreadful race, dreadful track, can we invest in Watkins Glen and go to a proper racing track. This is just a piss take of F1 fans.

    Max could go for the overcut here to totally humiliate Perez

    Are we really supposed to believe 42 lap old hards are faster than ones that are 22 laps old.

    Perez just isn't a championship calibre driver unfortunately.

    He's not.. he's just not on the same level as Max, but boy I want him to fight for this one, just give it everything, this could be his only chance. Go grab it lad!

    This season is going to be a real trial, isn’t it?

    Biggest disappointment for me this season is that Ferrari are just a mile off it. That and we've had some turgid races. Thank god for IndyCar!

    No, he was hung out to dry deliberately by Red Bull to show him he’ll always be the number 2 driver in the team.

    I went to feed the cat rather than watch their podium nonsense.
