    The win is achieved so he has an impressive 100% record of wins in this highly competitive class of racing. Can't be many drivers out there to have never lost a single NASCAR race they have taken part in! Put him into any race machine and he drive the wheels off it to be up with the leaders no matter what.

        @canefan One!!!!! But he came in as a complete rookie to the class against many seasoned and ultra competitive drivers and took them down with the barest minimum of preparations.

                    Danny Ric is back. Hard on de Vries but that's F1.

                    Will be good to have the smiling assassin back on deck.

                      @MajorPom it will be interesting to see how he goes in the Alpha Tauri, seemed like a big chunk of his 'form slump' at McLaren was an inability to be enthused and motivated in a clearly non-competitive car after a reasonably long time in the sport. The Alpha Tauri takes the competitiveness down another notch but hopefully the different starting point of expectation and the half year break help the enthusiasm and motivation, or is the carrot of that second Red Bull more present than Christian Horner would have us believe...

                        Surely Perez is gone. 5 times in a row missing out on Q3 driving that car. The one where he missed out because of track limits was the worst.

                          Yeah he's been poor, Horner talking about putting his arm around him. Same thing he said about previous driver before he chopped him, too 😆

                            It looks like an audition for Perez's seat next year. Which makes Ricciardo's move to McLaren even dumber in hindsight.

                              Three minutes into the first practice session and Perez bins his car.

                              Can't see him having a seat at Red Bull next year.

                                Meanwhile the young Kiwi Liam Lawson continues to tear it up in Japan

                                Apparently the cars are the closest in terms of performance to F1. It seems like the only thing potentially stopping him from getting an F1 seat soon is an ability to bring lucrative sponsorship dollars, something that Perez and guys like Stroll have

                                  He might take the Alpha Tauri seat next year, I guess

                                    Yeah I think he would consider himself very lucky to get a RB seat. And surely Alpha Tauri won't be as poor next year. He's reserve driver for both F1 teams so they get to see him in a few free practice sessions in the current cars

                                          The McLaren surprised having that race pace on two quite different circuits. Bit unfortunate for Piastri losing track position to his team mate Norris in order to cover Hamilton's first pit stop, but definitely proved to be a good overall team strategy call. Always fun to watch a race where different cars are 'in the zone' in different phases and not all just tyres, the low fuel Mercedes on slightly fresher tyres in this case. And some good old well fought Perez overtakes.
