End of the second day in Brazil, scene of the 21st round of the F1 season. A more than eventful day and debriefed, as usual, by Gaëtan Vigneron.
Our F1 expert first comes back to the sprint race. “Domination of the McLarens with Oscar Piastri in front Lando Norris. It took a long time before they decided to change positions. Andrea Stella justifies this wait-and-see attitude by explaining that they were afraid that the third would come between the first two.
Before continuing. “Max Verstappen then lost his third place after being penalized in favor of Charles Leclerc. The reason? He did not respect Delta Time under virtual safety car“.
Before returning to the highlight of the day: the qualifying session postponed. “We had the usual rain sketch. It was postponed, postponed before being canceled. Of course the FIA has the best information but I have the impression that we missed a window where there was a way to launch the cars. We even heard Lewis Hamilton ask for better rain tires to drive in these conditions. Qualifying will take place this Sunday morning. If this is not possible, the starting grid would be determined based on P1, the sprint qualification or the sprint race.
See you this Sunday from 11:30 a.m. Belgian time for the qualifying session, while the start has been brought forward to 4:30 p.m.
