Wow I literally just turned on the telecast.

It seems a glitch on deployment there. Thanks F1 for these awful regs.

At this rate half of the grid will be out by the end of the race lmao. Maybe Max can win from last place.

Not on the regs in my opinion. Just unlucky. Cold tires, lots of power, hit curb, lost traction.

F'k! Australian GP driver curse strikes again!

Nope. Piastri dropped it on the recon lap.

No, it was just on the way to the grid. Gearbox hadn't fully synced and his battery seemed to be on the fritz, plus a bit of driver error.

I have some concerns about an F2 start style crash. Someone doesn't get away, and the drivers at the back are unsighted.

I think your prediction will be come true.

[AR3-GP]

Albon says graining could be an issue.

[venkyhere]

Looks like W17 & McL40 ran the bigger wings (more dishing on the RW mainplane, more aggressive AoA on FW '3rd flap') and the SF26 & RB22 (especially) ran much lesser ones.

they have warning blinkers, don't worry.
