Internet relentless for Perez: 'Put Ricciardo or Tsunoda in the Red Bull'

During qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix, the headliners were Max Verstappen and... track limits. As many as 47 times were crossed out by the FIA stewards. It happened to Sergio Perez three times in a row in Q2, ultimately leaving him without a time and having to settle for the 15th starting spot.
As usual, Twitter users again have their opinions ready about the Formula 1 session. One does not have a good word to say about Perez, who was eliminated in Q2 for the fourth time in a row. While some suggest it is time to put Daniel Ricciardo or Yuki Tsunoda in the RB19 alongside Verstappen, others argue that the Red Bull car may look much better than it actually is, simply because of the way the two-time world champion drives in it.

The Formula 1 circus…and a very unwelcome return of the @FIA clowns. Utter rubbish, put the measuring tape, and the trundle wheel away already. My opinion on corner cutting, and track limits, penalise the inside of corner, not the outside… #F1 #FIA #FIATeamFerrari #SergioPerez

I'd be surprised if Perez lasts past the summer!

What was it that Pérez senior said? Something about “Senna vs Prost”?

So will Sergio Perez be racing for Red Bull next year? I’ll put my money on “No” given his current form, contract or no.

Just seen that Sergio Perez made a hash of qualifying again.

Surely there can’t be any excuses for him. OK, he’s recovering from a virus but this car is absolutely dominant. He’s underperforming by an alarming amount. #AustrianGP #F1
Championship's been decided since like Round 3 or 4

It’s a poor take, Perez was getting good times but was just going over track limits, many other drivers did the same, just not on every push lap.

Well, if you put a bigger kerb they complain, if you lower the kerb they exceed track limits. The drivers will just complain about anything.

Track limits are a talking point but like David Coulthard said on F1TV the white lines aren’t moving.

They asked Horner about Checo flunking out early AGAIN and suggested he might still be sick as he’s been unwell the past few days.
Horner quipped, “he’s not 5mm ill, no” lol.
