The "commentary" of that video is so out of place to the highlight they are showing. Almost comical if it weren't so serious.

After Max Verstappen had initially gained the upper hand at the start, Mercedes's Lewis Hamilton fought back and executed a two-stop strategy to perfection towards the race win. Verstappen had to be content with second as Bottas finished a bleak third.

If Verstappen leads into T1 there's no race, it's just him demoralizing everyone.
So if you use the old circuit you cut basically, well, then, there won't be much corner cutting. Running wide on turn 9 means kicking up a bunch of kitty litter and destroying your floor anyway.politburo wrote: ↑06 May 2021, 17:13Updated race director's notes have added T13-T15 chicane section.

How do you cut the chicane? The only way is to use the old circuit instead. In other words, as long as you use the stupid chicane you're A-ok.101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑06 May 2021, 19:26That’s clear as mud. It says “during any practice session or the race” : eg during qualifying its allowed???
Concise is a word I don't think I've ever heard used in the same sentence/statement as FIA. I'm sure we'll see multiple more revisions after the drivers meetings.101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑06 May 2021, 19:26That’s clear as mud.

I think that technically qualifying counts as a 'practice session' under their terminology for this sort of paperwork. Happy to be corrected though.101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑06 May 2021, 19:26That’s clear as mud. It says “during any practice session or the race” : eg during qualifying its allowed???
I also think so. In all their documents for Portimão they only use practice session and race as referring to the events of the weekend, yet they also monitor track limits all the way through quali as well.El Scorchio wrote: ↑06 May 2021, 19:41I think that technically qualifying counts as a 'practice session' under their terminology for this sort of paperwork.

Qualifying is classified as a practice session. It's "qualifying" practice session as against "free" practice sessions.101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑06 May 2021, 19:26That’s clear as mud. It says “during any practice session or the race” : eg during qualifying its allowed???

Good chance the RedBulls are faster in the first few laps on tires, Mercedes faster after a lap or six.godlameroso wrote: ↑06 May 2021, 19:26If Verstappen leads into T1 there's no race, it's just him demoralizing everyone.
