Thanks for the clarity. I thought sainz was on an inlap as he and Leclerc were offset from the others
But he didn't improve with his first push so I guess he needed to do another one.

SAI was nowhere today as Ferrari clearly had setup issues (I hope)... In all likelihood SAI was fighting for position because he knew he was likely out of q2 with the mistake and needed some perfect lap and wanted no traffic in front.organic wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 21:23Thanks for the clarity.

Sainz would have disturbed his prep lap at best, by going argy bargy with Verstappen though. And it's not like Verstappen in an RB19 is going to be "traffic". More like *getting smaller in the distance*, lol...dialtone wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 21:26SAI was nowhere today as Ferrari clearly had setup issues (I hope)...

It is what it is, although that wasn't a penalty... Car was rough today.
I had already posted several posts before this (see last page, I was the first to post that and another post after that had also already posted that Sainz had aborted his hotlap and was prepping for another go). There was no new information information here. It was an attempt to shift blame to Verstappen who simply got blocked, several times and harshly, while he was on his outlap, which he was doing at much higher speed. As he had been doing all Q. Sainz would have been much better off just letting Max continue. Now he risks a penalty and got some extra tire wear that he didn’t need.organic wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 21:23Thanks for the clarity.

Yeah I don't know what was in his mind while he was doing that... Stress makes you do questionable stuff.
Disagree. You're ignoring one important factor here: Location.dialtone wrote:SAI was on an outlap. Came out together with LEC, when VER passed SAI, SAI was radioed: "all clear from behind, all clear from behind, push next lap".
There's no penalty here, just misrepresentation from RBR folks because Max has to be granted everything.
100% agreedialtone wrote: ↑06 Oct 2023, 21:38If you come out of the pits offset, or choose to do an extra cooldown lap before another attempt, there's no way to avoid breaching this rule in Q1 or Q2. Too much traffic. They should adopt a different metric IMHO. Every race there's going to be 1 or 2 people going out of time but what they care about is people going extremely slow in 1 mini sector to bunch up the group IMHO.
Outlap, inlap, it doesn't matter. It's the erratic blocking whilst on a slow lap which is being looked into. Likely a reprimand.
Max should have gone "He's intimidating me!" on the radio, just for the lulzCs98 wrote:Outlap, inlap, it doesn't matter. It's the erratic blocking whilst on a slow lap which is being looked into. Likely a reprimand.
