Where did he stop? was it between turn 10 and 11?

In theory he could have pushed the car back into the pits, but the moment the german marshalls touched the car it was over, wasn't it?
The session was still underway, so he couldn't have pushed it to the pits. No way.

Another hydraulics problem. Is that car so fragile when driven over the kerbs?
I guess that's one of the major disadvantages of having no rake; way less suspension. Just a guesstimate on my part.

1st mistake, running wide (probably not that costly, just some laptime) but the second mistake, flooring the throttle and not even trying to brake after running wide did the trick.
I do not think flooring the throttle was the problem. He was off throttle anyways there. The problem was, that he did not rejoin over the green paint, but took the straight line to go over the red/white curbs. On a usual track this is no curb, but just paint. Track-walk issue...

Yes. I think the suspension broke as the nose was way up. Due to their connection to the gearbox oil he had to stop.

Does anyone have speed traps for yesterday P1/P2?
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

I do not understand why Ric did not do a Q2 installation lap to be ahead of Ham. My bet would be that Ham takes a full set of hardware as well if he needs to change the gearbox.

Haas is a great car from the start of the season and Sauber is improving every race. It's far from PU alone, just look at Force India.

Closer than expected in the end, Bottas keeping Ferrari honest for the race at least.
