+0.8 from VER is insane. If he wasnβt around this would be a massively competitive season, Perez in the RB is about equal with everyone else. Max just has something else
Sergio definitely isn't a bad driver, he wouldn't be in a Red Bull if he wasn't, the last couple of races obviously did go wrong though. I think P3 like now is where I'd expect him normally, Verstappen is just on another level
Yeah, I think with the level of consistency Max has shown it is safe to say he really is on another level
Would have made for an interesting Sunday race had Max gotten knocked out in Q2. Would have been a P16 start for him.
Verstappen prior to that last lap: "Hold my red bull" and puts in a banger of a lap. The guy is surreal.
Don't worry about it, they're constantly changing everything all the time, it's hard to keep up.
Championship points were always awarded.
Last year they had qualifying for the sprint race and the sprint position determined your grid position for the full race.
This year they have qualifying for the full race, then qualifying for the sprint race and your position in the sprint race has no bearing on the full race.
Itβs like a mini race weekend in the middle of the actual race weekend.
thanks for this. I'm normally up to date with the main rules but for some reason never payed attention to the ones for the sprint.
tomorrow there's just a mini quali and race that's independent from the normal quali (that we just had) and race (save for the tires used and parts destroyed). Oh and there was just a single free practice instead of 3
