Russell having a “holy moly” slide through Turn 4 as he did well to keep that Mercedes out of the wall.with the pair racing hard in a bid to claim Mercedes’ first podium finish of the campaign.most recently at 2023’s Japanese and Qatar Grands Prix.that process having resulted in a three-place grid penalty for Perez at the next race in Spain.Among the early exits from qualifying were Sergio Perez for Red Bull in Q1.He went onto win the Grand Prix.He explained that everything is “intense — on-track.

it’s quite disappointing to come from our strongest weekend to go straight into our weakest.I want to say more but we’ll leave him behind.Esteban Ocon has laughed off suggestions that it is “punishment” for his Monaco transgressions.but said other drivers who have spoke of them being “quite slow”.Hamilton was the first of the frontrunners to try a set of slick tyres – putting on a set of mediums to see how his tyres would react.So its just funny now people saying Ive signed for Williams.I have nothing really to announce.
