Saw the quali, but without audio.

I saw Oscar crash, but what happened to Lando? Did he bottle it, or does the McLaren not work here?

The track was slippery, which probably equalized the cars a bit.

He must've not hooked it up as well as those running behind him. From the footage they showed, he had a few hairy moments. It looked like he was a bit too hot into at least one of the corners at the expense of getting good traction at the exit.

Piastri damaged the chassis on his car so will be racing in the spare. No changes to spec/setup so he should be starting in his grid position rather than the pitlane.

Stonewall DNF coming up.

A mix of hard and mediums tires at the start.

Verstappen on the hards., also Tsunoda and Russell.

 

[desmodan]

Looks like Verstappen has used up all his softs , which could leave him vulnerable .

 

[Jimlaad43]

Piastri stalled on the grid and drops to last!

Edit: Now he's in the wall!

 

[Fezzik]

Piastri stalled or just didn't get off the line

 

[Blitz24]

Piastri out. Safety car.

 

[Fezzik]

Piastri stalled or just didn't get off the line

and now in the wall!

 

[PaMu1337]

And he's out!

 

[MagpieRacer]

Noooo! Piastri!

 

[Fezzik]

Noooo! Piastri!

Your fault. You jinxed him.

 

[PaMu1337]

Now if Norris can get back to the front it's at least good for the championship

 

[Grayfox]

Baku GP has been a mess this weekend.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Now if Norris can get back to the front it's at least good for the championship

If he struggles, is Max back in this fight?

If Max wins the race of course.

 

[Fezzik]

"Lando, Oscar is in the wall. In the interests of fairness you do the same".

As Oscar jumped the start and now is DNF, he's probably going to get a grid penalty for the next race.

 

[PaMu1337]

If he struggles, is Max back in this fight?

If Max wins the race of course.

Theoretically possible, but the gap is very big

 

[Grayfox]

If he struggles, is Max back in this fight?

If Max wins the race of course.

Max has no chance with the WDC.
Oscar and Lando will need to crash or not get into the top10 for several races for him to have any scope of a chance.

This scenario has a 1‰ chance.

Sorry British Bias nullifies this rule

This scenario has a 1‰ chance.

If Max wins the next 3, without McLaren scoring, then I'll start taking the possibility seriously

 

[Grayfox]

If Max wins the next 3, without McLaren scoring, then I'll start taking the possibility seriously

Hence why I stipulated 1‰ chance.

 

[Fezzik]

Horrid restart by Lando. Passed easily by Leclerc.

5 sec penalty for Alonso for jumping the start.

 

[Grayfox]

+5s penalty for Oscar at next race.

 

[PaMu1337]

+5s penalty for Oscar at next race.

I guess that gets converted to a 3 place grid penalty?

 

[PaMu1337]

Not often you hear a driver just agreeing with a penalty.

Not that there was much to argue about there

Yeah, rare but he knew he f'ed up.

 

[Fezzik]

Lewis is looking quite good so far, and should have a tyre advantage later vs Leclerc and Norris (weather permitting).

No grid penalty for Piastri​

Lap 10/51: The FIA have confirmed Oscar Piastri will not have a grid penalty for the next race in Singapore as five-second time penalties do not affect the following race.

However, multiple five-second time penalties do.

Lucky boy.

Opposite to what the commentators said.
