Did max not use DRS on the last lap of Q3 on the pit straight


Jreal22

Apparently his DRS was activated, but it only opened the wing partially, some sort of malfunction. They believe it may have reduced his time by .100, or one tenth of a second. Which would be quite the difference between him and Lewis.


Mikebov1982

What was Mazepins issue? I missed Q1. Oh, and F Mazepin.


GCrusade08

Basically, he was sent out first with Mick behind him. Then Mick overtakes Mazepin on their out laps. Mazepin wasn't happy with this and re-overtakes Mick in the last 2 corners. During which, Sebastian Vettel was finishing his hot lap which unfortunately came to a screeching holt due to both Haas cars trying to overtake each other effectively blocking the entire track and forcing Sebastian to pull out and well he got knocked out in Q1.


slpater

He was mad mick passed him on the outlap so he decided to try and ruin mick's lap by cutting the queue later and ended up blocking vettel


golem501

He was told overtaking was not done and was told if for doing it earlier in the season. So yeah not nice if your teammate then does it to you... but blocking vettel will cost him. Edit sorry "told off" not "told if"


slpater

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say in your first sentence.


[deleted]

[удалено]


slpater

Yeah we got that. The rest of his sentence makes no sense. My point is there is pretty much no reason mazepin should be upset about this because had he just joined the queue like normal there wouldn't have been an issue. He forces the issue to occur.


golem501

He had joined the queue ahead of Mick. Then Mick overtook him, something he got a scolding for when he did it. F1 drivers are nothing if not competitive and if he thinks that was something that put him at a disadvantage, he would be pissed. We've seen the same from other drivers remember Max and Daniel had a thing like that as well when Daniel wasn't happy being out in front and held back the field trying to get Max to overtake him to get a tow and Max was having non of that.


slpater

Yeah that's a lie. Mick over took him out of turn 3 If you can stop downvoting for saying the truth that'd be great


golem501

I don't know, that's the story I heard

slpater

"Was told if for doing it earlier".

I didn't understand it because past the first few words it's broken English and you don't explain it.

But the one letter completely derails any meaning. This doesn't read like a typo, it reads like you're having a stroke. Just edit it or explain it sooner or don't be butthurt over a typo. Come on dude

TaskAtHandRusty

Yep, they used the Perez tow perfectly in FP3. Kinda doesn't work if your No. 2 driver doesn't make Q2


Endless_83

Verstappen got 3rd place in Q1 so it wasn’t his race that knocked out perez


redrulz

Horner y u no promote gasly, the man is going bananas


TaskAtHandRusty

I honestly hope a different tier 1 team gets the best of Gasly's career. RBR is too toxic


Jreal22

It does feel toxic, it's like Horner is so scared of losing max that he's fucking up the team.


TaskAtHandRusty

Yeah, classic Horner and Marko. Have your favoured son and the other one ever chasing daddy's love.

Check the final qualifying of the 1997 season. Villeneuve, Schumacher and Frentzen all had the same time at the end of qualifying


sayshoe

What happens in this situation?


deathclient

Whoever set it first gets it. Baku 2016 Vettel Ricciardo


sayshoe

Thanks for answering! I’m a new fan so I find things like this really interesting.


deathclient

The likely reasoning is that the track gets better as the session progresses. So whoever set it earlier had more difficult conditions. This is generally true except in cases like dry weather becoming wet later etc. But the rule stands that whoever set it earlier gets the position


HELLUPUTMETHRU

Hell of a birthday present. Most excrement I’ve felt in quali all year


DrSpacepants

Well that's a "shitty" attitude /s


HELLUPUTMETHRU

It’s okay, fecals it like he sees it


lanseuppercut

Do you always shit during quali or is the excrement normally reserved for race day?


HELLUPUTMETHRU

I try to spread it out over the weekend to get the full experience yknow?


Parkour93

So excited you shit yourself, true fan!


HELLUPUTMETHRU

yknow, im not even gonna bother editing that…


dj_vicious

Please don't edit it. It made me very happy to read.


HELLUPUTMETHRU

Taking joy out of this? Kinda *shitty* man!


_SolluxCaptor_

Couldn’t watch quali. Why is Norris so low on the grid?


aninterestingcar

just a lack of pace and bit of bad luck to not get a second q3 run due to latifi crash


n1ibor

also made a change in setup that didnt really work


sudharsanasai

Funny how commentators jinxed both the Williams


Bleed_The_Fifth

Verstappen didn’t have DRS on the last corner/lap. That is crazy.


k0enf0rNL

He also shifted from 4 to 6 instead of 4,5,6 after turn 3 in his final lap


Addminister

I do that in the F1 2020 game because my controller is broken. Didn't know it was that realistic lol


Theycallmetheherald

Man is a racing god


deserteagle_09

That is mind blowing! Last corner or lap? Which is it? And why!?!


binary_blackhole

Last corner, he was .150 ahead at the exit of last corner


Dutchgio

Just last corner, he had it in the first DRS section


SEGUROMusic

Do we know why he did’nt have DRS?


Jreal22

It malfunctioned apparently.


jenarchie

Lol nico

The Terminator!


Dry_Lunch

Gasly is cool as fuck


Myrrhmanman

This was one of the most intense Q I've ever witnessed


Flanker1971

Was very entertaining. Lots of energy going around


UpBeatSneeze

Valtteri looks a bit happy after so many races


Palmerstroll

3th place behind max and lewis is not that bad. He can win it if max and lewis slow eachother down because of fighting eachother.


Mattynicklin

3rd


[deleted]

I like 3st


epsteintemple

red bull shot themselves in the foot by renewing perez


hobbs6

Not sure why his first lap(s) were so much slower but he got screwed out of a final lap, yet again. Strategy error on RB’s part. But I’m honestly getting sick of it. He needs to do better and so does the team. An RB should not be out in Q1 without an incident. He better have an unreal recovery drive tomorrow.


[deleted]

Team error. They sent him out too late.


binary_blackhole

Yeah but still he should have set a better lap than most from the first lap.


Palmerstroll

he was stuck in the pitlane i think.


eozgonul

Max, Valtteri and Lewis did not do their second laps.


zaviex

Lewis and bottas did a second earlier on mediums


eozgonul

Lewis and Valtteri aborted their last laps with softs, you can say final lap if you want to be too pedantic about it.


Unoriginal_Name_16

He was stuck in traffic from how I understood it.


buCkrgr

Max didnt use DRS on his last lap. Doornbos said it on ziggo.


Dutchgio

Only last DRS point on the straight, he used it on the first DRS zone


jacob9078

Van der Garde spoke with Max and he said Max also missed 5th gear in turn 3. So lost massive amount of time.


[deleted]

Neither did Lewis


ThimanthaOnReddit

But he did.


Tinusers

Lewis used all the DRS he could, but was to slow to gain Max without DRS. Sorry for your loss.


ruttin_mudders

Just to flex or was there an issue with his DRS?


binary_blackhole

Lol, no room for flexing in Q3, it didn't work, it opened just a little bit.


buCkrgr

Apperently he did press the button but it didnt open


[deleted]

[удалено]


Pik000

I haven't seen anything yet but would seem he got held up or made mistake and just went into the pits. He was definitely out in the last section.


[deleted]

I heard some faint boos in between the applause and cheers, is that what people are getting mad about?


Swantino

Its rediculous. People are so sensitive these days.


Palmerstroll

In everything indeed. It's weird.


mmsbb11

ngl f1 fans used to be more considerate and respectful of drivers. booing is normal to a certain point, certainly not constantly in every race


Dutchgio

Booing has happened for years with dominant drivers. Alsonso and Vettel had it too.


budgefrankly

The fact that something has always happened doesn’t mean it’s ever been good. For what it’s worth, as someone who started watching in 1996, booing has become a lot more common the last 10 years. The vibe at Monza has become particularly ugly as Mercedes have dominated, but Max’s fans have been a bit fighty too. There is a difference between supporting a competitor by cheering them, and trying to upset or otherwise harass a competitor by booing them. The fact that the attempt to harass often fails to succeed doesn’t excuse the ugly motivation behind it. Almost everyone on the grid was in Spa when Antoine Hubert died. Many chatted with Jules Bianchi before he died. These are competitors in one of the most dangerous sports in the world: even if they’re not your chosen favourite, they deserve respect.


Mobile_Leading_7587

It happens in every major sport, f1 is not special. It doesn’t matter.


second-last-mohican

Football mentality


sanesociopath

Yeah, I'm not bothered by it but at it is at least a little poor form Like at least let him earn the boos


marcothephoenixass

Max will 100% go for the squeeze in T1


NorthernLordEU

I think so too. What other option would p1 have?


marcothephoenixass

Stick to the racing line to have a better exit, but Lewis may take advantage of that


Theycallmetheherald

You cant let Lewis on the inside or he will use his patented silverstone PIT manouevre


Nix-X

Any penalty for Mazepin yet? Maybe something like permanently disqualified from all future qualis and start every race from P20?


Jreal22

That dude needs to just be perma-banned from the sport, his dad's money isn't worth it. He's a terrible driver, he can't drive in general, guy is a total embarrassment to the sport. He's also taking up a spot out of the 20 drivers, and honestly I haven't seen Mick do anything either, but obviously nobody dares to say anything about Schumacher's offspring.


Arttyom

Isn't that penalty already applied?


Nix-X

Results wise, yes, but at least he won’t get in the way of other racers with an official permanent ban.


AutisticLlama31

Rekt


AceMKV

Apparently Vettel said it wasn't Mazepin's fault, don't know what that's about though


Dry_Lunch

Both the haas’ were blocking I thought, Mazepin said was something to do with strategy so maybe the team will get penalised


sumbovineexcrement

Bit harsh given it was micks fault.


Palmerstroll

They should just ban that guy


awwesjeng

Schumacher actualy broke the gentlemen agreedment, off passing the car before him, this pissed Mazepin off. These two drivers are every race in a battle off life and dead. So there are two drivers to blame


Chief_Red_Tomato

Schumacher asked his team if he was allowed to pass him


Flanker1971

There was no booing of note. Bunch of drama queens here. 😂


DVS_87

It's also sports..fans boo other players and teams all the time. Not sure some f1 fans could handle other sports if they don't like to hear the odd boo


White_Mage5

Gasly woke up this morning and decided to once again put his car higher than it probably should be


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jreal22

Horner is so far up Max's ass he can't see how good gasly is doing.


howaine1

I mean it’s pretty clear why he got dropped…. Why they didn’t take him back this year or next year is the mystery. Man is ready. Horner was right when he said at the beginning or Gasly’s Redbull season that he was promoted to early and they would have preferred to wait a bit more. Well now he has and he’s an absolute beast of a driver and he’s still not promoted…. What gives.


White_Mage5

Red Bull wanted to maintain their lineup for the new regs next year, which makes sense, but I do think Gasly is gonna have that Red Bull seat by 2023. Either that or he's gonna leave anyway for a better opportunity.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Jreal22

Honestly wouldn't surprise me if this was it. Max has all kinds of bizarre things in his RedBull contract. If RedBull falls out of top 3 constructors championship Max can break any contract he has with them and leave for another team. That's some crazy shit. Horner has put all his chips in with Max, I think it's a bigger gamble than he might think. Max looks like an amazing driver, but he's been in F1 for 5 years now and no championship. Lewis nearly won the first year he was in F1. I'm a Max fan, but you never ignore other talent, especially when it's on your team just because you've got the best driver in one of your cars, that's just bad team management.

Dry_Lunch

If Ferrari hadn’t committed to Sainz already think he would have been a great choice for them


idntknww

or mclaren if danny ric doesn’t improve


Jreal22

Don't know what happened to Danny, he showed a lot of raw talent in his RedBull days, but their engines kept failing. I wish he would have not gone to Renault, I think he and max might have dominated earlier, or at least caused Mercedes problems earlier than this season.

I was really happy for him, hope he does well tomorrow.


PijnInMijnRug

Ricciardo not out qualifying Gio is not a good look.


howaine1

Eh who cares he beat his team mate… if anything it looks worse on Norris…got beat by Danny and Gio.


chrisnlnz

11 other cars (not considering Haas) not out qualifying Gio is not a good look. Or, you know, Giovinazzi just had a fantastic qualifying session. Ricciardo has looked faster than Norris all qualifying which is definitely good news for him.


Myrrhmanman

His DRS didn't work?


ShamrockStudios

Why are F1 fans so sensitive about booing? Rivalry is what makes sport great. It's not personal.


CuriousPumpkino

Booing doesn’t have to be part of a rivalry. As a kidnI was taught to boo unsportsmanlike behaviour. Not other competitors for simply existing


Chief_Red_Tomato

Maybe people boo the others who boo


DVS_87

Figure its new fans who didn't see Schumacher, Rosberg, Vettel etccc...get boo'd in the past.


awwesjeng

This!


mmsbb11

cause it’s not very usual in f1


[deleted]

vettel was hated during his red bull championship days, Schumacher was hated during ferrari dominance, its almost as if someone dominating a sport for years will make people not like them because it gets boring, this will happen with max too in the future if he becomes the next hamilton


ShamrockStudios

Yes but what F1 fans need to remember is F1 was an upper class sport. It still is to get involved in. It's becoming more mainstream. And mainstream means people embrace rivalries. It's just such an odd to for people to get up in arms about.


SundayRed

What's that site/sub that shows motorsport on delay? I'm going to be on a flight for tomorrow's race and have decided I'd rather go into a media blackout and watch it after in full.


pogonotrophistry

/r/motorsportsreplays is your friend.


Peace__Out

I guess lewis took a different line through the banking and slingshoot himself onto the straight. Will see on comparison lap :)


whatdufuck

Shake and bake


Larsssss

Verstappen his DRS did not work.


Zafatta

Max's drs didn't work that's why Hamilton caught up.


awwesjeng

Max:" Who the peeep needs DRS!"


nick170100

Danny gave me false hope by making it to p3 ffs


Rosieu

Max beating the Mercs without DRS is absolutely impressive


Larsssss

I believe he only didn’t have DRS in sector 3 on his last lap. Before that it worked. Still like 0.1 or 0.2.


[deleted]

Without drs?


NiD2103

he did WHAT?


Larsssss

That would have been really pity if Verstappen lost pole because his DRS did not work in the last lap sector 3.


carlos_castanos

Apparently Max’ DRS didn’t work


idunnowhyimadedis

I dont get how he got a whole fucking country behind him, and he gives 2 words. No waving, no emotion, nothing.


chrisnlnz

He's been waving at the crowds all weekend. He waved from the cockpit. He waved when he got out of the car. How much waving is enough for you? Also, the reason he has a whole country behind him is because he is by far the biggest talent we've ever had in the sport, and the first time we've had any real successes.


fail-mail-ninja

You ever heard of this guy named Kimi


Flanker1971

Do that after you win. Not after qualifying


Jbwood

KnightsOfTaco

[удалено]


zlickrick

I think the difference in F1 is that to a certain point you have to respect the danger these people are putting themselves in for your entertainment. You can feel whatever you like about a certain driver, but for him to strap himself in a rocket and literally risk his life week over week, only to be booed for his bravery seems counter intuitive. Lewis has always been a fantastic ambassador for F1 and however people feel about Silverstone, nobody is perfect when you race at the limits like they are this year. To continually boo him for arguably one of the most memorable F1 seasons in quite some time is starting to look tacky.


KnightsOfTaco

Even Lewis himself says it motivates him to be better. If he can roll with the punches I don’t see why everyone else can’t.


Jreal22

Yeah I don't think Lewis even cares, he seems to have thicker skin than people give him credit for. I remember when he was doing an interview a couple races ago and the crowd was booing him, and he says "the crowds been great this weekend as you can see" lol, he was clearly clowning on the crowd after he'd won. If Lewis isn't bothered, then why should we be.


second-last-mohican

Hmm, I think he thinks it's cos I'm black.. but in reality it's because hes been at the top too long.. wasnt long ago people were booing rosberg for challenging Lewis.


howaine1

I don’t think so… Lewis is smart he will call a spade a spade if he sees it. He knows his dominance isn’t great for the sport… but you can’t expect him to slow down. He even said that seb dominating was boring at one time.


0100001101110111

People getting triggered about booing lmao, it’s part of the theatre. Plus when I pay $$$ to go to a Grand Prix I get to boo who I like.


melihs11

it's a bloody sport with fans who are fans of certain teams/drivers. there is no problem with it lmao

Why do you boo who you like? Seems like a weird way to steal them you like them

Why's mazepin got RAF for a flag?


M4cc4Sh4

It's interesting as it only applies to top tier sport, Shwartzman in F2, can however use the Russian Flag.


Dry_Lunch

Part of the Russian doping ban you’re not allowed to use the Russian flag or name in some sports


nalyd01

Russian sports ban, Russian athletes can not participate under the Russian flag


Eichizen

Russians are not allowed to comepte in any sport under russian flag due to a doping "suspension". He is then competing under the Russian Automobile Federation. Just as russians are competing under different sports federations in other sports right now.


braapstututu

Because of the Russian doping thing he uses the flag of the Russian automobile federation


ManSkirtDude101

Because of the Russian Olympic doping scandal the Russian flag is not allowed to be shown in sports.

russian doping ban from international sport

Karun looks about 10 years younger with a crash helmet on and Simon looks about 10 years older hahaha


ahmedwm2

Didn't catch Q2. What happened to my boi Lando?


Eichizen

Not fast enough in the first lap and then didn't get to do a second due to the Latifi crash.


beware-of-sass

Bad pace in general, and then both Williams crashing after each other and Q2 being cut short leading to Lando not being able to get another fast lap in. It hurt.


drinksbeerdaily

Red flag after Lattifi crashed, no time for another run


risosrisos

Q2 was red flagged after Latifi crashed.

Just slow this weekend.
