It will be punished without doubt. It’s not even funny how badly he impeded. It’s a show but there are still rules. I’ve never seen a clearer impeding penalty in my life.Artur Craft wrote:I doubt they will punish a podium contender and "spoil the fight up front" because somebody held up a Haas. I remember many years ago, on Silverstone, either 2015,16 or 2017, when Hamilton massively held up somebody but they obviously didn+t take his pole away. The track was packed with people wearing t-shirts of "Hammer time" and etc.
F1 is show before being a sport. That said, yeah, maybe they will punish Oscar to give Ferrari a chance to be on the podium for the tifosi
Ferrari had 4 new softs going into quali and only ran mediums in Q1. With the additional set you get from getting into q3, they should have one new set?search wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 18:04Updated tire list. Unconfirmed, but should more or less be correct:

Going by the way Ferrari approached Qualifying today, I guess they don't believe to need any more than 1xM and 1xH. Could have easily saved those mediums (or a set of softs) if they wanted to.
they did 2 runs in Q2 and 2 in Q3. All on new tires. I just checked Leclerc's onboard.bananapeel23 wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 18:08Ferrari had 4 new softs going into quali and only ran mediums in Q1.

So that seems to confirm that they have a new set of softs, since they came into quali with 4 new softs and got an extra set from getting into Q3, unless the Q3 rule has been changed?search wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 18:10they did 2 runs in Q2 and 2 in Q3.

edit: the "Q3 set" is one of those 4. There are no additional tires for anyone.
what are you talking about mate? what red bull? you mean Max? why you said he was the only one who improved, as both Piastri and Norris were a lot faster than Q2 and improved significantly on their respective 2nd runs of Q3.PlatinumZealot wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 17:59Nice one Venkyhere! It's gonna be a cruise tomorrow, trust me. Q3 showed that when the temperature dropped only RedBull improved. It's going to be big factor in the second stint. Race pace should put Max comfortably ahead. McLarens are quick but I just don't see them hanging onto it. Car looked more unstable compared to Ma's RedBull.
there are no additional sets for Q3, and there have never been. One set of softs needs to be kept for Q3 (and returned afterwards), but it's one from the normal allocation.bananapeel23 wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 18:16So that seems to confirm that they have a new set of softs, since they came into quali with 4 new softs and got an extra set from getting into Q3, unless the Q3 rule has been changed?search wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 18:10they did 2 runs in Q2 and 2 in Q3.

I think the bias lies with you.venkyhere wrote: ↑18 May 2024, 17:53
The above two snippets must be the understatements of the century. The RB20 isn't a match on the Mclaren or Ferrari this weekend, we will see it in the race. The car was understeering like hell and looked terrible in S2, especially with how much margin Max was leaving in T11.
The driver drove the nuts off the car and got pole. We have to call is as we see it, and keep our bias aside. Credit where credit is due. He showed the flash-of-genius that great drivers keep showing once in a while. The S1 from the two Q3 runs reminded me of that famous S3 in Q3 monaco 2023.
Redbull strategy and Max would have done something incredible (or just a luck safety car or some such) if he finishes on the podium tomorrow.
I`ve watched the live speed data on MultiViewer and VER since Q2 he always managed a 336kph top speed until he got that tow from HUL when he recorded a 338kph, at least as the software told us. On Sky F1 they said it was only 8 hundreds of a second gain which was enough to take the pole here ...
