Really good considering the issue in quali. Well done max
Say what now? He destroyed his own floor, therefore ruining his chances for pole position. I don't think that is a job well done tbh.

Will Buxton just asked since Lawson testing the RB20 next week and Danny Ric was magically in the car following it. Is Checo at risk?

Basically said that CHeco is our driver and hes the one that needs to get going and hopefully he is there to recover from this tomorrow

In mixed conditions these things happen. And it started raining at copse just before Max went through there (and Max sent it in as if it was dry, because if you don't then you're slow) . The next driver after max went off there as well. The rapid conditions change means I don't consider it fully driver error

It's an easy mistake to make for sure, but a mistake nonetheless imo. Let's hope he can recover the positions tomorrow and beat those Brits in front of him.

All the cars ahead are super fast, we'll see if red bull actually has the pace to overtake anyone.

But Horner didn't say what spec it is, an old one or a new latest one.

The rain started in the big gap between Hamilton and Russell on track. Hamilton went through Copse without much. Russell was the first to Copse with rain falling and he went off the track. Then Max was the 2nd car, and Max went off. Then came Zhou, Ricciardo, Sainz, and Magnussen behind who all went off at Copse on the slicks. Nothing anyone could do. The next car was Hulkenberg who aborted the lap before Copse.

It was just bad luck.

Latest of course. If it's not latest spec then it wouldn't be "all good" it would be " we need to fix this one or it's pitlane start"

When Russell went off maybe there was a window to tell max but it was probably not possible

Yes, and EXACTLY what I was afraid of on the weekend you have 1 new floor. I don’t really believe they have 2 ready. That seems more to keep the competition in the dark.

RBR aint going to be that stupid to only bring 1 updated floor to a GP weekend and not have a spare to replace it with. Basically if any damage happens to that new floor its either a repair or a change of specification.

They have a NEW floor for Max, if required.

well I guess that the question was aimed at the new floor, wouldn't make much sense to answer "no worries we have a spare one" if this was an old one because that would mean a pitlane start.

Here's a link to the interview with Christian.





RBR might aswell throw a new set of components in the back of Perez and take his penalty now rather than later on in the season. He's P19 anyhow ahead of a 50place grid drop for Gasly, so nothing at all to lose.

I wont blame him at all.. they sent him out late, and it started raining. It's not the race, it's quali, so they are meant to drive it 'on the edge' anyway.

Do you know how much the best sector2 time for VER with damaged floor, was slower than the best sector2 time in overall quali (by RUS) ?
+0.08
Sector1 he was slower by 0.152
Sector3 he was slower by 0.185

I think that tells a lot. The RB20 still is a monster in sector2.

How all this will translate into the race tomorrow (wet race), starting from P4 in the spray, is unpredictable. But for the way all the cars are setup with their chosen DF levels, the RB20 driven by VER, is blitzing it in sector2.
