I’ll throw this out there, I think Austin Martine Racing (aka pink merc) made a huge mistake picking up Seb and dumping Perez.

Agreed - PER has matured and is FAST (and does not carry the wheelbarrow of SEB $hit to the team).

I really hope Seb can deliver because Perez brings proper skill and money. Unlike every other pay driver.

Still more in the rain than some “others” have in their in their entire career

It's still fun dealing with them and I quite like Philippe!

Exactly. VET is probably a shade faster on best day vs best day but the truckload of crap he brings is less than desired.

100% agree!!

today is a bit cooler than yesterday and tires harder than it should be already as we all know.. generally track becomes windy in winter time in the night.. today grip levels can be lower than yesterday.. if Stroll can pull the start well it can be an interesting start..

Merc's front right tire was freezing on a anti clockwise track awkwardly.. if they can solve it somehow they can be faster but otherwise pinks will be faster here for sure..

Indeed ! The whole situation looked really strange !

Inters seem the best way to go or maybe not, if it may rain again. Christian watch that weather screen!

MAX P1 ! And is 1sec. faster than the rest...

IN ....IN !!!

MAX fastest lap again !

He had to be more patient behind PER ...

It's not driving on this track . It's actually drifting around this track .
It's not only the rain . It's still the oil on the water ...

[///M Power-Belgium]

Last sector is very....Very dangerous . Crazy !!!

It will be decided after the race...

Max should move up a bit as he's on fresher inters, Stroll's got to come in soon as Lec changes for fresh inters so no dry tyres yet.
ALB spun and came in for inters, one rear tyre was all but destroyed.
