F1 is entering the so-called “silly season,” the time when contract talks and rumors fill the vacuum with four weeks to wait until the next Grand Prix.

Max Verstappen and Yuki Tsunoda finished eighth and 16th respectively in what was the toughest qualifying so far for Red Bull.

Yuki Tsunoda says it is 'unfair' to compare him with Max Verstappen, partly because Red Bull have not given them 'exactly the same car'. Tsunoda has had a torrid time since stepping into the team's second seat to replace Liam Lawson, who himself couldn't get anywhere near Verstappen in the first two races of the season.
