Charles can still win the race from 13th, so it's not over for him. With that pace advantage that he has, an alternate strategy keeping him in clean air can bring him to the front end of the race.

My eyes are on redbull, i'm wondering how they are finding this pace. It may be from ability to manage the low grip situations better.
Honda powaaa.

How many more will end up in the wall on turn 8 in the race do you think?
And the following car will also create a pileup, this is so narrow a corner for a F1 race ....

Is this the bit where Mercedes gets in front of Vettel and causes a yellow on his fast lap?

Pretty sure the decreased tyre blanket temperatures play a significant role in all the incidents we’ve seen this weekend.

Leclerc may be staring around 10-13th , so a good first 5 laps and he can be 5th no problem and well in the race.
Still with no chance of victory, and another boredom fest.....


Anyhow... T8 now full of coolant .. Fun times ahead
If Leclerc's time is good enough for q1 will He start from P10 on M tyre?
Yes he will.

However those tyres have now been abused in a crash and are covered in coolant.

IF they are deemed to dangerous to drive on, then they will need to find tyre that is similar degraded

How long does it take to replace front wheel with suspension in F1 car? I'd bet the WRC mechanics would be able to fix Leclerc's car quickly enough to allow him taking part in Q3.
