Had it just been a gravel trap, he would have likely ended up in the tyres with minor damage.

[Robbo-92]

What an absolute farcical end to qualifying

[floydfreak]

yikes

[Jam-Master Jay]

Miracle that he walked away from that.

Those sausage kerbs have been put in some stupid places over the years but on the outside of such a fast corner is just asking for trouble,

[floydfreak]

placing it there goes against the safety stuff they have been saying for years

[Vermilion]

What a bunch of muppets at the end of Q3, i bet the team's will be giving them a jolly good slapping for that farce.

gravel causing a few cars to flip

[Robbo-92]

That was like Fuji 2007 (I think?) where a few cars went off into T1, thankfully minus the flipping of course.

VetteLOL

[Jam-Master Jay]

Vettel and Stroll there.

Idiots.

[Snowcannon]

I wasn’t in the Vettel should retire camp before, but that move was so stupid it might have just changed my mind

[Robbo-92]

No idea what it is with Vettel and spinning in seemingly clear air, slam dunk penalty for rejoining in front of Stroll and then subsequently Stroll rejoining in front of Gasly.

His head/heart just doesn’t seem in it anymore

Agree it was a ridiculous move as well.

[Robbo-92]

Obviously a 10 second penalty.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Should be a DQ and/or a race ban. After what happened in F2 at Spa this kinda gooseberry fool needs to be punished harshly.

Anywhere else it wouldn’t have surprised me if he had been DQ from the race, this weekends race being in Italy shouldn’t make any difference to any decision/penalty handed out for incidents but I can’t help but feel it has.

[Snowcannon]

Leclerc is super fast on the straights...I feel like a Hamilton overtake will need a Leclerc mistake

[Snowcannon]

Or maybe not even a mistake is enough...

[Robbo-92]

Leclerc doing a cracking job up front soaking up that pressure from Hamilton, let’s see how he fares against Bottas. That Ferrari is lightning on the straights.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Great stuff from Leclerc, handled that pressure from Hamilton and Bottas brilliantly.
