Internet reactions: 'Verstappen fans are the football hooligans of F1'

Max Verstappen will start from pole position on Sunday after an exciting qualifying session for the Dutch Grand Prix. Sergio Perez crashed into the wall in the closing stages of the session, forcing a number of drivers, including the Mercedes men, to abandon their laps. GPblog lists a number of internet reactions. Fans are not only critical of Perez, but also of fans throwing orange torches on the track.

Sergio Perez’s role in Red Bull is to make everything Max Verstappen does look better. I am convinced.

Verstappen has that fear factor man. He just looks so menacing whenever he’s on track.

pérez and sainz this year have been a serious reality check for everyone who spent the last 4 years complaining about how valtteri wasn't good enough to be a mercedes driver

The first time Mercedes is really in the mix and it’s ruined by fucking Perez

How fucking convenient that Perez spins right when Mercs are on their last lap.

Pole is the one thing Leclerc is good at and he hasn't touched it since France
