    My guess is they didn’t expect to run the full time allowed. Probably factored in one quick stop for a change of tires and they missed the mark. The tires held up well. I believe Ferrari wanted to call in Sainz and Charles for a change and the both told the team to fuck off.

    Max is a tool but at that level you need to demand excellence. Seems like a rookie mistake for a top level team.

    The talk about fuel strategy was some teams were planning to pit again and some teams had enough fuel to go the whole session. RB having less fuel had helped them on prior runs in the session but when they decided to stay out and not pit for new tires they realized they weren’t gonna have enough for the sample.

    It doesn't matter because he can basically take the rest of the season off but this does make the race a little more interesting.

    You can do that without walking out of the debrief and leaving the track. I’m just bitter that my guy has been handed a shit sandwich all year and been nothing but professional and this douche has one bad call and turns into a S tier bitch.

    And we all know Max will hit the rocket ship button and be pushing the leaders in 4-5 laps

    Yeah, drivers title is wrapped up. Constructors is nearly done as well.

    Max starting back in the field will give us some added entertainment to what is traditionally a boring race.

    With the possible rainy conditions and tight street track we should see Ferrari given ample chances to fuck us the race for Charles.

    I find it humorous that y’all are getting in a tizzy about a robotic sociopath acting like a robotic sociopath. Max fans aren’t fans of his because of his personality. His ruthlessness is what people like. This is on brand.

    I don’t think anyone disagrees he should be mad, it’s how he handled it. Especially in the context of the season

    I love watching him race, but also recognize that he is a a terrible person. And I don’t think he needs to be the politician that Charles Leclerc has to be. Max can pretty much say and do what he wants off the track and his fans will love him regardless.

    Most of these drivers are huge bitches when things don’t go their way. Whether it’s their fault or not. Constant whining all the way around. Max is still young as shit and immature and was a huge baby last year when he didn’t win races. Not surprised he pouted.

    Fair. But pretty much every superstar in every single sport acts this way when things don't go their way. God complex or whatever it is.

    I'm still new to all of this, running out of fuel while qualifying results in a DQ? Wouldn't it just be a slow lap and you move on?

    All of the cars need to have a certain level of fuel remaining to pass scrutineering. The fuel is tested after qualifying and the race to make sure that the teams aren’t using any sort of an illegal fuel.

    You just have enough gas to provide a sample to the FIA post qualifying and race so they can test it to make sure it’s up to code.

    Assuming weather cooperates I think having 3 DRS zone’s tomorrow will make overtaking ok and should lead to a fun race. If it’s wet I think the whole thing will be a shit show

    His team wanted him to lift to save it for the final lap. I’m assuming part of the reason for his speed those two laps was he was very light on fuel

    Was at the course so just watched qualifying and caught up on the thread.

    Instead of commenting on the absurd crying by a few itt I'll decide to focus on the excellent qualifying session that was. All those dudes are so fucking talented to drive those cars to the limit, on a track of incredibly varying wetness, at night with weird shadows, on a street circuit inches from the wall. That shit is crazy and as always I'm hoping for a wet race of some magnitude tomorrow. Gonna be awesome!

    What's the rain rules? They can delay the start due to rain but if they start on a dry circuit and it starts raining they just deal with it? I ask bc sometimes they run in rain and sometimes they don't so I'm confused.
