Just a lot of reports of harassment and assault, the Dutch apparently get a little rapey when they drink too much.
What did they say, it was the first time an American has made Q3 since Michael Andretti in '93?
No kidding, that was an impossible situation. Not a bad debut though. I'd assume he'll get a couple more races at least, see what he can do with a full week.
I think 1) Max is damn good (whether you like him or not), 2) RB clearly has the car figured out (and no real competition to boot), and 3) RB is going to cater to their primary driver (ala Mercedes with LH a couple of years ago) so whomever the second driver is is always going to be playing second fiddle in terms of overall car setup.
Sounds like he was having some hydraulics issues with the car on Sunday. Something about the way he was hitting the kerb and it caused a hydraulics failure so he couldn't steer the car. Saturday he just hit a wet spot on slicks and that's what happens.
That is why Christian keeps saying Checo is going to be the RB driver next year. They just need him to be second and he is doing that. Why pay him out a ton of money to buy him out. No reason.
I'd say as long as he keeps sniffing around being in Q3 he's probably safe for one more year. Next season he'd better start pushing his team mate or he'll be looking for a new ride.

No real surprises from FP1 this morning. Liam Lawson seems to be settling into that Alfa Tauri from the looks of it.
