The article contains a few informal fallacies and appeals to authority. It also uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing Red Bull's qualifying session as 'going badly already' and referring to Valtteri Bottas' practice-three crash. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of Leclerc's performance in the race.
. . . Red Bull’s qualifying session had been going badly already, with Sergio Perez’s three-tenths-of-a-second deficit to Verstappen in Q1 translating to a miserable 18th place for the 2022 Monaco winner.
It was a miserable one for Sauber, though. As just 0.568s covered first to 18th in Q1, practice-three crasher Valtteri Bottas was a second off the pace in 19th and his team-mate Zhou Guanyu was another half-second slower still in last.
