Now i am very curious about Max his plank wear you could clearly see him dragging it and leaving stripes all over the track.
You cannot tell me his plank is within limits now
It matters for the Sprint? I mean the plank wear. If it was a mistake, they can change the settings and start from the pitlane.
We will see.
Same rule of minimum 9mm applies also for sprint races. Considering that sprint race is much shorter there is a possibility to lower it more and to be above 9mm at the end

Looks like Gasly, Colapinto and Hamilton are starting from the pitlane

Might be the only chance for RedBull, that they gain and McL does not.

looks like most start on a used medium. Stroll's set is 7 laps old, so he can't complete the sprint (without a pit stop).

Everyone could just follow a few laps...then all cars fell out of DRS. With the set strategies in the race, most likely the same again tomorrow.

This track doesn't deserve a place on the calendar, no braking zones to overtake. What a borefest.

The tire situation also looks unlikely to add much of thrill for tomorrow. Same for everyone, with all teams keeping at least 2xM and 1xH for the race.

Yes it’s dire, hard to tell one corner from another on TV. It’s a bike track and F1 shouldn’t be here. Crushing season ending triple header with Vegas and Abu Dhabi for the teams and media also.

This track is just like Monaco, only faster. A purely Quali track. If they remove banking from T1, it might become better for overtaking. But then, it's a motoGP track, so banking is a given. What's more, everyone has fresh set of 2xM and 1xH for the race, all will start on M, and with the 25-lap icing on the cake, all will pit for tyre changes within 2-3 laps of each other. As boring as boring can get. Just that it will be fast-boring instead of Monaco's slow-boring. The only thing that can bring some excitement is a safety car.

It isn't anything like Monaco. Monaco has features, recognizable corners, and a thrilling, high-stakes, qualifying session.
