As mentioned earlier:
Merc has done it early in the season in the past
There are multiple teams doing it this race alone
The order was only to not fight back, Max passed on pace
The order was better for Perez as well, since he wouldn't keep Max behind anyway, and he would lose time to Leclerc.

Acknowledged. It's the same thing in Spain where it objectively makes sense, but it's still annoying as hell as a spectator. Given the pace difference between Max and Checo at the time, I don't think anything needed to really be said, because Max would've made short work of Checo anyways.

I was noticing that with Hamilton as well. Did the teams just not give a wide enough band?

Well they're not having a hard limit bounce due to a governor its a fuel/ignition based bounce which should not hurt the engine but hard to say if this is true for these race engines.
 
Thanks, F1 direction, for telling us that we are watching the race
I had no clue
 
Tsunoda to retire.
 
Been a while since I saw the meatball being used

Alpha ≈ Alfa. Ferrari strikes again.

Scotch tape on the wing. I'm pretty sure that's not going to work.
 
Ferrari engineers: "Can we do that with the engine during the race?"
 
Speed tape for the win.
 
Yuki's engineer: "It's fine, No DRS!"

The balls on the AT crew. That's amazing. :lol:

Pretty sure the FIA won't be happy with that, though.
 
No DRS command to Max.
 
What an issue to have, can't go slow enough or the car would get too cold

This isn't the first team order from Red Bull. Perez was only 15 points behind Verstappen at the start of this GP. That does not warrant team orders.

Firstly, Perez is/was behind Leclerc in points, and not Verstappen. Secondly, that gap is/was only that small because Verstappen has an extra DNF and had a bad weekend in Monaco (the worst track to have a bad weekend at, and also by far his worst track).

Just because Perez is not as far away from Verstappen on points as you would expect, doesn't mean he's a genuine contender for the championship.

First part was not wrong. Red Bull of 2021 was the faster car and had better balance.

No it wasn't. A Mercedes won a GP starting from P20. Come on now.

Same as this year - Ferrari car has more porpoising.

I don't get this part of your argument at all? Neither Red Bull nor Mercedes (or any other team) had porpoising issues last year.
Bosso
Leclerc is a qualifying demon as well, whereas it's a weakness of Verstappen. Perez is no Rosberg of course, but that's irrelevent.

Leclerc would've won at least four more races this year if Ferrari didn't give him bad strategies and worse engines. It's not just the qualifying, but his qualifying results definitely say a lot.

RB may have a wing issue.
 
Perez asked to not fight Max, then twice slowed in the pits while Max gets away in a couple of seconds.

Maybe just same basic design as the Alpha Tauri, and just being careful? They've had a ton of DRS issues already this season so far

What I am thinking.
Sister team would share some parts.
 
Latifi under investigation for ignoring blue flags.

5 second penalty. I guess the stewards are NOT supporting him with their flags.
