To fully understand that incident you'll need the radio communication from the teams. Because it looked like both Latifi and Stroll was trying to let faster guys through, but at different stages. If you were to ask me who's fault it is, I would put it slightly on Latifi. I felt like his driving was more erratic. From almost stopping completely to flooring it afterwards. I get Stroll's intension of getting out of the way for the faster cars behind. (Should've looked in his mirror though.) And I can kinda understand that he was suprised to see Latifi on his inside given how much Latifi stopped the corner before.

A bit of a mess.

So because mercedes and ferrari have problems with their extreme car setups they now removed drs? Red bull is silky smooth and has been gaining loads when DRSed, a tenth at least vs ferrari and more vs others.
This argument fails anyway. Now that they removed DRS ferrari has transformed into a trampoline because they don't shed any rear load, making the problem worse.

In essence they cut 1 or 2 tenths out of red bull's quali pace with this silly change and will make the race worse off. Jeddah has loads of curved DRS zones and none bat an eye, yet here it's suddenly a problem. wtf
Helmut Marko told that it was only Alpine having problems with DRS in that section and wanted it to be removed.
Absurd if true. If one team has a problem there then they should just not use it.
I agree. Though, I’m pretty sure Alpine used the “it’s dangerous” card there.

But then again, they could have chosen to bolt on more downforce instead of that slim rear wing.

Latifi is a disaster. I think Russel may have looked better than he was, due to Latifi. Albon, who is no prodify is destroying Latifi & is 0.5-1s quicker in qualifying sometimes.

The guy crashes all the time & is in his 3rd season. Mazepin has got all the hate for being a pay driver & rightfully for being a pathetic person but Latifi is also a slow pay drive taking a grid spot when F2 Champion like Piastri is waiting for a seat !
Fully agree with this post and your other, newer one.

Albon is beating Latifi by way bigger margins than Russell used to do.

A bit weird to see Gasly struggling against Yuki and not displaying top 10 pace.

But it´s frustrating to have all these interruptions again in QLF, especially at this ungodly hour.

3rd time Russell aproaches that corner with the tyre partially on the grass....

edit : Goodness, even with those tyres he still outpaces Lewis. Also, nice to see Max acknowledging his fault

Don’t think it even warrants that. Max was off the racing line. Granted moved a fraction over left, no way impeded him.

Same as Russel twisting about them in FP and was nowhere close.

Talking about stewards that will check your underwear for compliance?

The world is too unfair. A guy like him making hundreds of thousands per year while many clever people are struggling to make ends meet.

Totally support all the complaints from the drivers. The sun is really ruining the driving.

AWS graphics are saying RB is faster than FER on the high speed corners, not sure if I believe that considering it´s AWS

Guess it’s now ok not to follow race directors instructions?
