Solid quali overall. Piastri and Perez the big surprises (not really a surprise for Perez obviously).

Cracker of a lap by Max, but that lap by Russell was solid as well. Looks like the Mercs do have some pace.

McLaren not really impressive at all but maybe they'll be better in race pace.

TL/DR version:
Just like that time Ferrari were doing nothing wrong with their engine, Sebastian was dominating, only to fall off the pace after regulation changes?

This season is eerily similiar to that, Redbull have gone from completely dominant with Max to falling off a cliff after notice of investigations and impending regulation changes, let alone after the changes themselves, as well as almost verbatum statements by FIA that no evidence anybody doing anything wrong.

We have clear past examples over decades of F1 history, that tell us exactly what is really happening, despite FIA attempts to cleanse the scene for PR image needs of F1 in order to maintain market value, sponsorship interest etc etc.

Yeah, I think Red Bull almost certainly had the asymmetric braking system that the FIA banned earlier this year because Max literally stopped winning and complained his car wasn't turning the very next race, lol
 
Also Colapinto smashing Albon's time is pretty notable in my book.

But yes that was a great quali with many thrills and spills and lap time deletions....

Zak Brown is still not happy with the Red Bull bib trick

McLaren reveal sources of FIA 'questions' over Red Bull ride height legality

Red Bull may wish to draw a line under 'Bibgate', fobbing it off as rivals' "paranoia", but Zak Brown still has questions.

But what he calls paranoia, McLaren chief Brown calls questions that need to be “unpicked”.

“Typically being able to run a car lower is a competitive advantage. It makes the car quicker, most of the time,” he said in Austin. “The FIA, who I think have done a very good job of identifying an element from a single race team, from what we can see, from having looked at all the open source components, it’s the only team that has the ability to adjust the ride height from inside the cockpit.

“Whether they have or haven’t, I have no idea, but having the ability to do it raises questions.

“It’s very clear in the regulations and it’s a material breach that if you modify your race car, anything that you didn’t get permission on or driver comfort is very much against regulations. So they’ve decided from what I’ve read, to put a seal on it.

“At the same time, I’ve heard from the team that you can’t adjust it when the car is fully race-prepped. The car is not always fully race-prepped in Parc Fermé and Sunday morning. So I think that needs to be unpicked.

“And why do you need to put a seal on something that you can’t get to in Parc Fermé or post-Parc Fermé conditions. So I still have questions that I need to better understand.”
