Having started from 17th on the grid, Max Verstappen made perfect use of the mixed weather and track conditions to fight through the field and win the Brazilian Grand Prix, leading Ocon and Gasly as both Alpines join the World Champion on the podium.
Commentary were just saying its a possibility, they said since theres nothing stating how it has to be handled they could do it based on FP1 results, which Karun pointed out would be unfair to people like Max and Lewis who were on different run plans and never ran the softs. They could also do it based on sprint quali or the standings in the drivers' championship.
Ofcourse. Brits manipulated weather conditions (as they are experts in rain).Vettel165 wrote: ↑02 Nov 2024, 21:22Yeah getting very angry now after hearing of course max might start p20 if qualy will not go ahead. What else to expect , what a big joke. Of course because their favourite boy Lando would start from p1,because the grid order will be based on the practice 1. Very unfair, and would mean ever more that this sport is being manipulated by the British.
Will not watch this bad show ever again this year if this happens.
I think the stewards would love that to be honest.
Apparently theres nothing in the rules saying they have to use FP1 if there is no quali tomorrow. They can use sprint quali results or the drivers' standings to set the grid, its basically up to what the stewards want to dogastonmazzacane wrote: ↑02 Nov 2024, 21:58Ofcourse.

How is it unfair, when it is the rules? The only unfair thing this weekend so far would be delayed VSC.
it's not nonsense, but the only rule there is in the current regulations for something that comes anywhere close to this situation.
Low light was also why today's qualifying was postponed. I'm hoping they can get going sxtra early tomorrow and even keep the race at an ealier time too.

and what about 13,5 seconds delay between "VSC enging" message and the moment track was declared green? Experts say it should be within 5-10s. Turns out Max timed the overtake perfectly if so.gastonmazzacane wrote: ↑02 Nov 2024, 21:58Ofcourse.

I think not, it was the same in Austin. In sprint we were strong, but on high-fuel we were struggling in the low-speed corners with the traction. Also the tyre deg was much higher comparing againts Mclaren, Ferrari. Our weakness are the hard tyres in the last races.
In Spa a year ago they clearly said, they will not use the FP times, but WDC standings even before Q, which was in danger. Now two things are surprising...they did not announce the same before Q today and they did not even announce anything when they cancelled it.search wrote: ↑02 Nov 2024, 22:03it's not nonsense, but the only rule there is in the current regulations for something that comes anywhere close to this situation.
But yes, it is originally a rule which comes in play when drivers don't set a time in Qualifying, not when all drivers aren't able to. So maybe they can still do whatever they like instead
Have you been watching the season at all? You cant judge or predict the race pace based on sprint pace, especially this year when they are allowed to change setup. It's no secret Max was far more competitive on softer, medium tires in Sprints all but Mclaren got far better on every single occasion on Sunday.
