Tsunoda is a very lucky boy looking at that.

Key point, don’t touch the white lines! The winner will be the one to just poodle around and keep it on track.
He might get pole by just jogging over the line tbfIf I was Norris I am not leaving that pit
He had enough time to improve his timings as there were 4 mins between the restart and the crash. He basically lost just one spot because of the timing of the flag rather than the 9 he lost by not doing a lap earlier
Even then he wasn't improving as he lost time to the yellow
They'd let him put a time in regardless.If I was Norris I am not leaving that pit
Probably a combination of things. But it doesn’t matter really. Fundamentally in my view F1 cars should be driveable in these conditions. We should have suspended sessions if the spray means drivers can’t see - that’s a driver safety issue. But we should not have suspended sessions because cars crash every time they try and push.
Wet driving 101, don’t touch the white lines.
I wouldnt even risk driving anymore.
come on you dont actually believe what you have posted !!
Or… it’s a function of the cars themselves?
Surely more drivers going off is evidence to that?
Obviously qualifying has made it worse rather than race but that’s not the fundamental issue.
Not saying the RB strategy was correct, the fact is that some drivers were allowed to finish their laps and he wasn't.
Which wasn't the reason for the delayed red flag
Agreed, this is too many spinning off for driver error. Drivers should be able to push if they have the right tyres on.
Cars sitting there 3 minutes before
Just put em in WRC cars. Sadly though this will probably be an excuse for Liberty to push for more desert races.
What’s class 1 rain…?
I know.
Which can’t help them with tyre temps and contributes to them driving off track.Cars sitting there 3 minutes before
Better than class 2 rain
better than class 2
Is more rain or less rain better rain?
Then Fiakachu face when a car bins it because of low grip.Cars sitting there 3 minutes before
light drizzle , well according to Sky
Quantity doesn't equal quality!
I think so as well, they are pushing to get a lap in when the tyres aren’t up to it. I think the tyres need looking into cause they should be ready from the off.
Tbh he wasn't improving so it wouldn't have made a difference anyway. He had yellow mini sectors all through. Gasly suffered the most as he genuinely looked good.
It's just terrible excuses
Drivers can always choose to drive slower to keep it on track, it’s not ‘on the limit’ but the risk-reward is at their discretion. That’s where the skill is!
Oh look at you two, cute
I agree with him. To finish first you have to finish first. Drive to the conditions. etc. 90% of motor racing is keeping it on track.
Would help if Pirelli could make a rain tyre... they need to look at giving the tyres to somebody else.
Yes becasue they chose to do a warm up lap, he had just started his push lap when he got stopped.
I think so of the younger drivers just go for it, maybe a lack of experience or just a different attitude to yesteryear.
There is no push lap with yellow sectors
It will be different in a race I think, well I hope!
He was stopped becasue of Stroll after one sector.
Absolute balls on Norris here pushing.
His previous lap was probably an attempt, but something slowed him there as S1 was on pace. His attempt that got stopped at the end he was already well off
Well done Yuki
WOW Yuki Tsunoda goes into second place and Esteban Ocon is third. Liam Lawson slots into fourth.
