Max could end up starting 3rd on the grid behind Leclerc and Alonso and still ahead of George. Provided Sainz and Perez qualify well.
How come I thought it was 5 places pen?Max could end up starting 3rd on the grid behind Leclerc and Alonso and still ahead of George. Provided Sainz and Perez qualify well.
RedBull finally decided to use 6th gear. That gap will upset leclerc.What happened to Ferrari's optimism
The smaller penalties are applied before the larger ones. So if Perez and Sainz qualify 3rd and 4th Max's 5 place pen effectively becomes 3 places.How come I thought it was 5 places pen?
It was mentioned that of all drivers only Max could reach >12K rpm on the end of straight, not sure how correct this info is.RedBull finally decided to use 6th gear. That gap will upset leclerc.
Imagine how big the gap will be when they finally allow Max to remove the 15 bricks that have been keeping him company in his cockpit!RedBull finally decided to use 6th gear. That gap will upset leclerc.
Russell or Alonso could take pole.Updated Grid Penalties
With Esteban Ocon, Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher now all confirmed to be taking grid penalties, here is all nine drivers now set to be dropping down the order:
- Max Verstappen - 5 places
- Esteban Ocon- 5 places
- Mick Schumacher- 10 places
- Sergio Perez - 10 places
- Kevin Magnussen- 15 places
- Valtteri Bottas - 15 places
- Carlos Sainz - back of grid
- Lewis Hamilton - back of grid
- Yuki Tsunoda - back of grid
Leclerc for me, qualifying s normally good for him, not that much they can feck up.Russell or Alonso could take pole.
Leclerc, Russell and Alonso to be top 3, not necessarily in that order.Leclerc for me, qualifying s normally good for him, not that much they can feck up.
In Spa they put one wrong tire, so there's that.Leclerc for me, qualifying s normally good for him, not that much they can feck up.
I did say normally.In Spa they put one wrong tire, so there's that.
easy to look good when you’re in the fastest car.That De Vries lad is not half bad innit...for a total of an hour in this car.
Fastest car to retire I agree mate.easy to look good when you’re in the fastest car.
They look like a bunch of wankers.Haas' car has turned into a complete disaster this season. Shame because they were so competitive in the first 2 races.
And not even with his best time.De Vries comes in for an hour and already qualifying ahead of Latifi.
yeah but that’s only because he has a pulse.De Vries comes in for an hour and already qualifying ahead of Latifi.
Was K Mag out of Q3 before his laptime was deleted? They spent all of last season developing the 2022 car and since its launch it's just got slower and slower. They have not brought many upgrades either.Haas' car has turned into a complete disaster this season. Shame because they were so competitive in the first 2 races.
As far as I understand it, yes.So how are penalties applied? In which order?
for example if Max is p1, and two guys with penalties are say p4 and p5, does he effectively end up third? Or does he still start 6th with others continuing to be bumped
Max I still think is favourite.So Ferrari have pole position at Monza, with all their direct rivals taking grid penalties. Leclerc seems poised to win this. What could possibly go wrong, right?
