- Immature handling of safety protocols during qualifying. - From the "vintage" wheel-to-wheel combat between Hamilton and Verstappen to the "miserable" weekend for Cadillac. - Get the inside scoop on…
But qualifying, let's discuss.
I don't think they even used that extra set of tires in the race.
Did they? No, I don't think so.
His bankers were pretty good, but I think that was it.
That's why Lewis didn't get a second run, because he didn't have the tyre set.
Not that it was any use, there was a slight delay in the rear wing closing.
loss of downforce and he was in the barrier like max can always catch a slide but that was too much and yeah like the wing was closed in the replay like bro like it's about time scale nah like flow needs time to attach um if you if you're off even by half a second that's that's in the in an f1 car going through a corner that's that's a lifetime
It's pretty amazing to see that even though he was struggling with his rear, he still put up an amazing lap during his first push lap in Q3, right? And even during his second push lap, he was gaining a lot.
I think he put up two purple in the first two sectors.
Yeah, he was on pace to potentially take pole.
But yeah, like, I don't know.
It's a bit weird.
The thing is now, this is like very inappropriately handled by the FIA because joke i was watching sky sports and f1 tv on the on the stewards decision screens that crafty was showing it said red uh sorry not red double way of yellows it said double deals and it said lap cancel but then it was all written that it was only have we forgotten what happened with jules
have we forgotten what happens when you let cars keep running when there's a car that's crashed on track? Like, come on.
Like, this is very immature.
And not only because of that, like, safety concern aside, right? Like, that made it so that then Russell didn't have to lift, right? He barely lifted.
He lost, like, a tenth.
And then that gifted him both.
Kimi lifted.
and uh yeah he aborted his lap yeah kimmy aborted the lap and you could see that because in the race kimmy and max both had a lot more pace
they were hounding him down like give give the race like five maybe ten more laps the the order would have been reversed you know kimmy in first max and second
And it should have been double yellow right from the start, right? I mean, if you can see like a single yellow,
like I'm sorry, a single yellow is for when a car goes off track, right? That's it.
