Who will take pole today? Why am I asking, we all know it'll be Max ahahah. Still, the battle for P2 could be interesting, right!?

Awesome final shootout. Piastri what a baller in qualifying!

Absolute disaster for AM.

Haas is a total clown show. 🤡

Lance's risk was not worth it

[–] krimson@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago

Agreed, that was just silly.

At least use the softs if you're going on slicks on a damp track.

Can't wait to see the sprint, hoping for some rain too.

Max knew what he was doing, unbelievable

Can't believe how close PIA was. My opinion of him is really starting to flip this season.

[–] itsmikeyd@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

He needs to work on his race pace before I start to rate him highly, but he's definitely getting to grips with this McLaren in qualifying.

Is there a comprehensive overview on how tyre allocation works on sprint weekends compared to regular weekends? For instance, I've read on Wikipedia that drivers must use a new set of medium tyres in each of the first two Sprint Quali segments. So do they get more/different tyres as usual?

An infographic about what tyre is available at what point (and which tyres have to be returned) would be nice.

Section 30.5d of the Sporting Regulations:

Normal weekend (13 dry, 4 inters, 3 wets):

  • 2x Hard
  • 3x Medium
  • 8x Soft

Sprint weekend (12 dry, 4 inters, 3 wets):

  • 2x Hard
  • 4x Medium
  • 6x Soft

They get additional inters if practice/qualifying sessions are declared wet and they use a set.

I completely messed up today and thought SQ started now, which fortunately for me, it does! 😂

Maybe we’ll have some more light rain to stir things up a little.

[–] bruzie 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So it's your fault, then. Only thing out there is the sweepers.

[–] krimson@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Haha. I said light 😅
