Leclerc unlucky to have a problem. They left it so late to go out.

 

[Junglist]

Well that was exciting...

 

[Mr Jack]

Harsh for Leclerc. Great lap from Max, McLaren close. Merc not as good on the mediums. Perez potato.

 

[Stu999]

This stalling until the last possible second stuff is getting ridiculous. I reckon they need to do something about entering the live lane = you have to go :/

Yeah, have a minimum pit lane speed as well as a maximum.

 

[SpartaP]

Perez ... lol

Lando just missing out

 

[iamtheoneneo]

not bad at all.

 

[Stu999]

Pretty, pretty good.

Perez 1.3 seconds off Max...


1.3 seconds!! Wtf.

 

[Feek]

Charles: "What happened, I had the anti-stall then it all switched off?"
Pit: "Copy, we are checking"

 

[Mesai]

Perez 1.3 seconds off Max...


1.3 seconds!! Wtf.

On a track where the lap time is basically 60sec.

Plan F.

Absolutely shocking.

I thought that guy got fired?

I was half-watching. Seemed very run of the mill. I saw the hooligans had lit their orange flares already

So is Max getting an engine penalty or what for the race? What happened in FP1 to it?

 

[GravyMonster]

Perez, Gasly and Ocon each went 0.4s, 0.5s and 0.9s slower in SQ3 than they did in SQ2.

Not much it seems. They turned it off and back on again. Most likely his car turned in to a BMW for a minute and had a sensor that threw a fit and stuck it in limp mode.

No because that will force cars to drive slowly and stalling until the last minute on the track again like before. It is preferable and safer to find your position within the pit lane. I don't see why any rule should be changed just because one car had a technical issue..

It’s not because of the technical issue Charles had, it’s because the cars stop in the pit lane deliberately.

Having a rule about that doesn’t stop the lap delta rule either, you can have both.

Perez 1.3 seconds off Max...

It seems that Red Bull botched the timing and he wasn't able to set a good time because he was sandwiched between the two Alpines.

Combination of slower car and slower driver.

That's along the lines of my thinking too. Need to have a lot less loopholes for drivers/teams to try and exploit.

Yeah I get that's a particular appeal of F1 but it makes everything look really stupid.

Shhh! You’re not allowed to say that first part out loud
