I haven't looked at onboards or telemetry, does Hadjar have different deployment or something?

Verstappen was like 7 tenths quicker than Hadjar in the sprint, and suddenly so much slower? Must be the engine problems he complained about in Q2.

Different deployment maps it looks like from the telemetry, Hadjar deploying more in S3 but also seems to have more deployment overall compared to Max.

I think Max is taking the fast corners too quickly which leaves him short of energy to deploy in S3. These garbage engine rules reward drivers for not pushing to the limit and this is the clearest example of this yet.
