Redbull had already reported it before qualifying.
How did they know, from images? Might be why Red bull seemed I bothered by being outpaced in qualifying?
Not sure but according to reports Newey went to see the FIA before quali.
Cheers.

Re: 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix FP & Sprint Qualy/Race Thread

Surely an open and shut case... As annoying as it is. Would the penalty be applied for the sprint or the proper race? F1 journalists on twitter seem to think the sprint. And then he’d still have the five places for the main race on Sunday. Which seems harsh, as if it was a normal weekend the five p...

Did Hamilton think his five place penalty was for tomorrow? He said tomorrow when referencing it in his post-qualy interview but I assumed he just misspoke but his Instagram post also says tomorrow.

Bottas done a perez there.

Would be interesting to know how much of that time came from s3 which i guess the new engine would give the advantage
Why didn't Bottas get P2? Did he run off the track or had a lock up?
It’s Bottas.

I guess Mercedes know they have to take the new ICE at some point and the next two tracks could throw some curveballs because they’re new, so best not to do it there and they won’t want to do it in Abu Dhabi. Also, if they’re at the point where the last engine wasn’t going to make it through the wee...

Re: 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix FP & Sprint Qualy/Race Thread

Didn’t expect that coming into the weekend. Apparently Shovlin said before the weekend that if it was cooler then it would help Mercedes against Red Bull and it is pretty cool right now.

Anyway a sprint weekend usually means a Hamilton and Verstappen crash and they share the front row tomorrow…

Yep you can change your picks any time before qualifying on sprint weekends. Please make a new post rather than editing your old one.

One of F1’s justifications for the sprint race is that it gives Friday more interest because qualifying is then. They fail to mention that they have then generally made saturday a non-event. On a more positive note (sorry for the off topic): it seems they’re getting rid of the Q2 tyre rule for 2022,...

Re: CarlPotter's Top Three Championship 2021

A reminder that the Brazilian GP this weekend has a sprint qualifying race on the Saturday and therefore the deadline for predictions is the start of the Friday qualifying session.

That's 19.00 UK time, 16.00 Sao Paolo time.

Some great shouts from Schumacherforever (Norris to outscore Ricciardo), Invade (best season in years) and Exediron (Leclerc to score multiple poles but not win a race*). F1 Tyrant’s shout on Sainz almost matching Leclerc was very good too.
