I've just re-winded back to Verstappens first flying lap in Q1, I'm pretty sure that was all 4 wheels across the line. Not sure how to share though so hopefully someone with the skills can. I know it doesn't matter now but just weird how it wasn't automatically deleted or looked at (or shown on a replay!)

Oh come on. Red flag for that? Just bloody VSC it. It’ll take moments to pick that up and just replace it at the end of the session.
VSC with quali fuel loads?!? think about what you're saying
It would have been a VSC for about 20 seconds if that.

It was a bit strange we didn’t even see a replay. Maybe the stewards couldn’t see it either.

Hmmmm…. Yes that is interesting if anyone has an angle to show all four wheels off the track. I wonder if they were waiting and hoping he’d pop in a faster lap so they didn’t have to confront the issue- IF he didn’t keep it in bounds.

I think it was Brundle that noted that Verstappens lap and then added that it doesn't matter because his next lap was even faster and within white lines

Massive flat spots for Max, he'll need new tyres.

Lewis looked like he didn't attack much in the last sector. Shame we didn't get to see how much Max attacked.

I think Lewis would have been 4 tenths clear if he hadn't messed up S3. He lost around 3 tenths to Bottas when you would expect him to be faster than Bottas.

Hamilton was super conservative in the last corner.

Perez might go on the softs to be safe? Or will he just go out again on the mediums

As I understand it, they will be able to replace those in parc ferme, it will be considered as damaged.
