2025 Las Vegas Grand Prix - Las Vegas Strip, Nov 21 - 23

Lando’s Q1 lap was set under a yellow.

Not sure how much he slowed down by, but definitely improved his lap time.

He was faster before the yellow flags.

That’s irrelevant however. It would had to be shown that he was significantly slower than previous efforts through the mini sectors where the yellow flag was waved.

is this really how it works on a quickly improving track?

Did you see the FIA ​​announce the Norris investigation?

Surely if it’s a dry track, wet track, your 3 seconds up or 3 seconds down…. You have to respect the yellow flag.

I don’t think using the fact the track was quickly improving is a reasonable ‘excuse’ for not respecting a yellow flag.

It would be interesting to compare the telemetry, times etc to previous runs.

Lando had the delta on his wheel this weekend, so be able to see on that if he did drop time

Haven’t seen anything from the FIA yet on any of the matters

So maybe the FIA ​​have no issues with Lando and they saw that he lifted his foot under the yellow flags and his lap time was improved before them.

Quite possibly. However wouldn’t trust to FIA to have looked and cleared it after some of the other blatant things happening in qualifying over recent years

I'm not talking about "respecting a flag", but going "significantly slower than previous".

If a track is improving quickly, you can slow down and still be faster than before, even in a mini sector, so I guess different standards need to be applied.

How are you basing that he didn't lift ? If you haven't checked the telemetry?

Now, and obvious case is Hadjar in q3, and thats not noted.

It's obvious that FIA is letting this one go as a favor to McLaren. They had to allow Red Bull break the cost cap because of their change of engine due to perfomance reasons so now you should prepare for all decisions to go in McLaren favor.

Max beware.

Have a re-read of my posts. I merely said that Lando’s time was set under a waved yellow flag. Therefore he should have slowed significantly.

Whether that should result in a investigation then that’s another thing.

Lap Norris has on the board at that moment is a lap good enough for Q2.

Norris probably did a Max special, lift off for a split second for a yellow to technically fulfill the rule. I don't make the rules, that is what best driver in the world does.

The precedent (in Miami) for not lifting was not set by Max:

I've just looked again, the clip showed he was yellow in sector3, which I assume had the yellow flag. What indicates he did slow?

What do you mean? Break the costcap?
