Max had damage?

Wouldn't be surprised given how much his pace dropped off. There was even shots on the main straight where you could still see the Alpine debris on the track.

Max had damage?

Either he had damages from the debries or mediums were very bad choice. He was talking about debris on the radio

He ran over something and then got tagged by Sainz I believe.

This is how it looks when the cars are equal.

This is how it looks when Verstappen choose wrong tires

His laptimes went from 14.5-14.8 to 16.0-16.5 even before front wing damage (that was clumsy from max, oh well..), so there was almost certainly damage somewhere on the car.

But they'll have to use the mediums tomorrow regardless.

I don't think the tires were the problem. I think they've got a bad setup because of the limited free practice.

The same man that claims there is too much toxicity on this forum cant wait to spit some poison . Hypocracy in a nutshell.

Red Bull threw the sprint win away by choosing mediums. Maybe they are saving softs for the race? Gonna be a two-stopper at least judging by the sprint.
Also, can Red Bull fix Verstappen's car for the race?(i mean floor damage if he had any) Aren't the cars in parc ferme now?

I think the understeer killed the front tires.

[Mchamilton]

this particular sprint sort of shows how you could race if you didn't have to nurse tires and save fuel in this era

pretty sure Max had some sort of issue with the car, didn't manage to pull gap since the start, and lost about a second a lap after getting passed, in the dominant (c) car

He his Alonso's front wing debris and likely got underfloor damage as a result, no way that red bull is that slow in good condition

Cars can be patched up.

Mercedes were a second faster than anyone else.

that is the normal fanspeak mate:
[opponnent_team] car barely faster = they have dominant car
[my_team] slightly faster = cars are equal

Odd comment. You say this is how the drivers stack up in terms of talent then. Considering you have removed the car from the equation

haven't you learned to just ignore what he says?

How do you guys misinterpret his post that much. With equal cars we see 4 drivers in play for the win. Replay this sprint over and over and anyone of them can win. That is the point. We get closer racing when the cars are closely matched. Maybe its so obvious it didn't need to be stated? That's how it looks when the cars are equal.

Additional note, I'll take that in lieu of a practice session every weekend.

This!!

These guys are nit-picking one unsavoury moment when we never had so much white knuckle racing at the front of the grid in ages. I don't really car who gets overtaken or who wins as long as we can get more racing like this.

[chrisc90]

Anyone any idea what the start infringements were?

Maybe, hard to tell, could also be graining. But they were definitely garbage in terms of pace after first 9 laps, then they went +1s very fast. A big blunder from whoever decided meds were tyre to start on.
