Me seeing Williams not going to in the race.
Lando may make it happen. He’s only 44 points away from Max.
Does anyone know what this cylinder/puck-shaped part is? I’ve seen drivers take it out along with the steering wheel when getting out. I don’t remember seeing it before.
I think its part of the seat belt mechanism.
What a qualifying for VCARB! Ocon P4!
Even with the crash Albon is P7, ahead of Piastri.
INCIDENT INVOLVING CAR 22 (TSU) NOTED - FAILING TO FOLLOW RACE DIRECTORS INSTRUCTIONS – CROSSING THE LINE AT PIT ENTRY
Noooooo I hope it doesn’t mess things up for him.
Edit: No further action. https://mastodon.jeckyll.net/@f1bot/113418981983954981
Yuki throws his hat back into the race for the RBR seat
Now albon. Way way too many red flags in conditions that are challenging but not terrible. What is going on?
This is what happens when you have to stop the racing because of the spray every time it rains. Drivers are losing their ability to drive safely in the rain because they do it so rarely
Now albon. Way way too many red flags in conditions that are challenging but not terrible. What is going on?
Drivers have been complaining about the new tarmac all weekend, probably making grip in the wet even worse and more unpredictable than usual.
I’m expecting the race start to be equally dramatic. Although if there’s fewer cars able to make their grid slots because of these quali crashes, we might get through the first lap without a red.
Edit - Russel on the front row. Definitely going to be dramatic.
Absolutely massive hit for Albon shiieeet. Glad he’s ok.
Williams cars have taken so much damage this year… It just doesn’t end.
RIP Williams mechanics. Hopefully Albon can still start on the front row.
The FIA is not even trying to hide it, they are doing everything in their power to make Norris win.
I’m wondering if we get some further starting grid complications with all these crashes so close to the race. There could be some tricky repairs and possibly either a quota penalty or just not enough time for the mechanics.
I wonder if Red Bull have anything to gain by changing the setup and starting from pit lane.
I think the weather makes it so hard to predict. Anything is possible!
Too many people are crashing. Conditions are difficult but not that difficult. Hell we have had worse conditions at Interlagos in the past and we had less crashes
Aston Martin mechanics got a tough job ahead of themselves. Both drivers had hard hits against the barriers.
It’s happening! McLaren has been given a way out again. Lando now has to bring top form for the rest of the races, and they need to hope for poor performance from max to win.
This qualifying session has been a wild ride with norris barely going through, red flags and the both RB’s out in Q2…
Now lets see Q3
Of course, yet another controversial decision by the FIA, when the red flag is being pulled out after keeping it yellow until after Norris set a new time and Max just started on his lap.
How obvious does it need to get?
I also don’t like conspiracy theories (even though i said yesterday that the sprint VSC felt very manipulated), but the FIA’s decisions on yellow/red/vsc have been just dangerous this weekend, waiting so long for a VSC yesterday while Hulk was so close to the track and now waiting almost a minute with the Stroll incident in this weather is just awful decision making by FIA.
They clearly waited for the drivers on fast laps to go through the chequered flag here, and only switched to red flag when they saw Max not improving on his last lap. I kinda understand why they do that, but yeah it’s not the most safe thing to do.
Norris was already through though and max was already in the bottom 5.
Do you get the tinfoil hat out only when a decision doesn’t appear to go your way, or is there always an FIA conspiracy?
Read what I said.
Bro you need to cool it with the conspiracy theories. And I say this as a max fan
A decision being controversial isn’t a conspiracy. It’s facts.
How obvious does it need to get?
This you¿?
Yeah because if lightning strikes, and strikes in the same place again, and again, and again, then how much more obvious does it need to get?
It stops being a coincidence.
Absolute carnage of a session. I was on edge seeing Norris at risk in Q1, then Q2 was looking ropey with the first red flag. What a turnaround. Going to be a spicy race now.
Damn Brazil always deliver unbelievable drama.
Is that
GlockStroll?!Lmao. Now nando in the wall as well
