I don't think we'll see him next year. With HAD and LAW, as they are rookies you think they still have room to grow, but not with a 5 year veteran.

Q2 : LEW is knocked out

Q2 : Charlie locked up in T10 and got a 360° in return ...

My friend we've heard that before, so the RB boffins better sort it.

GuidoK · 11-07-2025, 01:17 PM

Ohh Max only 6th....
He's not happy!

Interesting to see AMR strong today.
And a good performance of ANT. I hope he can keep his cool tomorrow.

That said it might rain tomorrow

The RB21 balance feels like a soap box again . And that won't change in the rain.
Ain't no good (!)

Just see where YUKI is finished...Too bad .

What are the options to delay the sprint? ...
The first hurdle that F1 faces if conditions are treacherous on Saturday will be to get the sprint completed.

There will be options to delay the start if the weather is too bad, but this cannot happen indefinitely as there is a window by which it needs to be completed because of qualifying later in the day.

F1’s sporting regulations state that there needs to be a minimum three-hour window between the end of the sprint and the start of qualifying for the main grand prix.

With F1 probably needing to get qualifying going before 5pm to avoid it ending in too-dark conditions (sunset is around 6.30pm), that would mean getting the sprint completed before 2pm.

That effectively gives the FIA a window for a two or three hour delay before it would have to start thinking about abandoning the sprint completely or moving qualifying back to Sunday.

What happens to the points if sprint is shortened? ...
One scenario that is not impossible is that the sprint starts but has to be abandoned early – either because of incidents or bad weather.

This would have implications in terms of handing out points, with F1’s sporting regulations outlining certain criteria needing to be fulfilled if the full offering is given out.

The rules state that no points will be awarded unless a minimum of two laps have been completed by the leader without a safety car or virtual safety car intervention.

Furthermore, if the leader completes less than 50% of the scheduled sprint session then no points will be awarded either.

If more than half distance is done, with at least two laps free of safety car interference, then full points are given out.

Yuki car is a test bed for MAX so on his own alternate 'safe' set up.

You are kidding, right?
McLarens and Mercs are clearly faster @Interlagos than Maxipad.

Though rain should make things interesting on Saturday (clear on Sunday):

Correction - zero income taxes in Monaco.
He is Monaco-cian (Monegasque?) for tax evasion purposes.

Agreed, though I don't think LAW will stick around for 2026 either.
HAD will, and might get promoted.
