Looks like everyone may make it to race time? Aston says both cars will be ready, I believe Sainz is starting from pit row, Albon initially reported an hour ago he was out, but Williams has since said they're still going through it 30 minutes ago.

Oh that would be awesome! F1 mechanics man…. Crazy.

Yep. 1 tweet says they just fired up Colapinto's car whilst Albon's still had the gearbox out.

Getting real sick of seeing drivers destroy their cars, cause a red flag and yet still advance into the next session even though they can't participate.

Yeah well, that's why you gotta be ahead of them.

It's always a matter of timing in a wet quali session either way.

A guy like Stroll should have had his lap time deleted, it makes no logical sense to able to screw the entire field like that imo.

Unless it’s done on purpose (Schumacher Monaco) this is nonsense imo.

A busted car making it through to the next round of qualifying is nonsense. They have this rule in Indycar and it works good.

I get your point, but drivers should be treated as equals, and not say "Well you're one of the suckiest drivers on the grid, therefore the driver behind you gets to proceed into Q3." Same goes the other way round, drivers shouldn't be given special treatment.

It would be demoralizing to directly link the driver reputation to the consequence.

No Albon, Colapinto seems ok, Sainz starting from pits, and it looks like the AM cars will start on the grid.

I assume your favourite driver got screwed? Sorry about that.
It all levels out over the course of a season.
Disqualifying drivers for crashing/having mechanical failures/ driving over a manhole cover or whatever else causes a red flag is stupid and completely unprecedented in F1.
This can stay in Indy imo.

 

[toastet]

Only Albon out, didn't expect this grid with only Sainz from pits. Absolutely amazing job by the teams! Big clap 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Qualifying highlights were insane! Stoked for Yuki and Lawson. Sucks for Albon... had some nice pace in the wet.

edit: Oh Lance...

 

[IforceV8]

 

[GlamFM]

Oh Stroll. Jesus.

EDIT: and he makes it even worse.

 

[HenrySwanson]

This guy's a Formula 1 driver?

 

[MSZ]

When was the last time a car suffered a DNF during the formation lap?

 

[Grayfox]

Stroll decides dot take stroll in the gravel,

 

[Veinz]

Sainz is not going to have a decent tire temperature now, also has an extra fuel over everyone else.

What is even going on!

 

[Mae Borowski]

Lance doing Lance things, I see

 

[Famine]

On the formation lap? He's making the argument for DSQing drivers causing at-fault red flags in qualy even stronger.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Lance Stroll, Formula 1 driver...

 

[PaMu1337]

The race hasn't even started and there's already more excitement than at some other races.

Norris noted for formation lap infringement

 

[MagpieRacer]

What on earth is going on.

 

[Rossell2]

What the heck is going on?

 

[Roo]

I came here to say "don't 🤬 this up, Lando" but it sounds like he already has

 

[Veinz]

Spinning out in the formation lap in wet conditions? Ok **** happens. But getting beached while trying to rejoin the track afterwards? LOL

Fernando Alonso at Sochi back in 2017, if I’m not mistaken
