I do not understand why, was he not in front of Carlos finishing his lap, so why the issue
Even if Albon is just average. Colapinto jumped in a car with no practice that his teammate had done 15 races and pre-season testing in, a neck that isn't prepared for F1, and was immediately matching an average driver. Even if Albon is just average, Colapinto has made it clear that he is more than good enough for a full-time F1 drive.renault rs26 wrote: ↑21 Sep 2024, 15:51Or Williams have really fast car now and Albon is another average driver. We'll se next season when Sainz join them.bananapeel23 wrote: ↑21 Sep 2024, 15:45Colapinto is incredibly impressive man. A month ago he wasn't really on the radar for any F1 team. He was considered a driver that was almost good enough for F1, but not worth giving a chance with drivers like Bortoleto and Antonelli in F2. Then he gets a chance out of nowhere and is absolutely on it.
He was behind Carlos and didn't slow under double yellows.
He did lift significantly.bananapeel23 wrote: ↑21 Sep 2024, 15:57He was behind Carlos and didn't slow under double yellows.
Never mind he did lift, but not fully abort.
I don't think he'll get a penalty.
It would certainly make sense to change the design, but maybe they wanted to keep low profile and don't raise attention. Or it is just a quick fix for them to gain some on track experience before final version comes for Austin.
Race control says double yellows at t18 whilst max was on lap so automatic laptime deletedPaa wrote: ↑
on a different note: Why did Max lap time was deleted? They wrote track limits, but he was clearly not over. Also he lifted and crossed the line before red flag, so really he did everything.
