Internet meedogenloos voor Perez: 'Zet Ricciardo of Tsunoda in de Red Bull'
Tijdens de kwalificatie voor de Grand Prix van Oostenrijk waren de hoofdrollen weggelegd voor Max Verstappen en… track limits. Maar liefst 47 tijden werden doorgestreept door de FIA-stewards. Sergio Perez overkwam het drie keer op rij in Q2, waardoor hij uiteindelijk geen tijd had staan en genoegen moet nemen met de vijftiende startplaats.
Zoals gebruikelijk hebben Twitteraars ook nu weer hun mening klaar over de Formule 1-sessie. Men heeft geen goed woord over voor Perez, die voor de vierde keer op rij strandde in Q2. Waar de één oppert dat het tijd wordt om Daniel Ricciardo of Yuki Tsunoda in de RB19 naast Verstappen te zetten, stelt de ander dat de Red Bull-bolide wellicht veel beter lijkt dan hij daadwerkelijk is, simpelweg door de manier waarop de tweevoudig wereldkampioen erin rijdt.
Internet fileert Perez na zoveelste Q2-exit

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 the corner, not the outside. #F1 #FIATeamFerrari #SergioPerez

Perez got to go put Riccardo or tsuonda in his seat

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.
