It is incredible. The yellow flag was a mistake. Ocon was not damaged, he was moving slowly to stay out of the way.
What a bad luck.

Look at the mini sectors, he was accelerating as normal, the mistake would have been at most 0.5-1 tenth and he still would have been through without the yellow.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑14 Sep 2024, 14:45People not seem to get it. It's not the yellow. The yellow was badluck. What isn't badluck is how many times Norris fumbled a critical qualifying lap, a race start or races in general. Let's not kid ourselves. Piastri will demolish him if he keeps improving like that next year. He already fixed his race pace. I remember some years back Norris gave an ultimatum to the team to give a fast car cause he won't be waiting forever. Now that he has a fast car what is he doing? Lewis Hamilton got the same wins as Norris with the 4th best car and he is our last Mclaren champion.
He made a mistake but looked to be on throttle but then had to lift off on the straight because yellow was shown for Ocon. Then it quickly changes to green and Lando is down on speed on the straight.
I will look later when I'm home.
Based on the first 2 sectors, Lando was faster than Piastri. But there isn't much to be taken from this Q performance other than unlucky.Darth-Piekus wrote: ↑14 Sep 2024, 14:45People not seem to get it. It's not the yellow. The yellow was badluck.

It doesn't matter if you're 2 seconds up for 99% of the track, but then bottle it all in one corner at the end.Ben1980 wrote: ↑14 Sep 2024, 14:51Based on the first 2 sectors, Lando was faster than Piastri.

You are focusing on sonething that wouldn’t have impacted his ability to get through. When the flags are what caused him to not go through.Emag wrote: ↑14 Sep 2024, 14:51It doesn't matter if you're 2 seconds up for 99% of the track, but then bottle it all in one corner at the end.Ben1980 wrote: ↑14 Sep 2024, 14:51Based on the first 2 sectors, Lando was faster than Piastri.

Because I am not discussing the yellow flag, I am discussing the mistake. He has done this way too often when it matters. You're saying he did not make a mistake and Lando is excusing himself as well, when pretty clearly, he ran wide before the yellow.
