    While a cool photo, the distance that wheel is from the car would suggest it’s not the moment of impact.

      If you want to be pedantic, the moment of impact wouldn’t show any visible damage on the car yet.

        I feel like the repair of the car is probably fine enough.

        I don’t think they get in trouble for the wreck being so violent it broke the chain, you’re never going to be able to enforce a chain never breaks rule because a non-breaking chain doesn’t exist

    I watched the quali delayed and when I saw how long the session lasted (1h47m was the broadcast) I knew someone had crashed and I immediately thought of Stroll. While not quite as bad as Latifi or Mazespin, the guy is out of his depth in F1.

      While Lance is not an elite driver, I dont think it’s fair to say someone who has had 3 podium finishes in F1 and who is currently in ninth place in the drivers standings is out of his depth. He’s a middle of the pack driver capable of the occasional above average performance.

      It’s ridiculous to suggest “he is out of his depth in F1”.

      Yes, he clearly isn’t doing a good job this year. Lance clearly drove better in the past. But with how hard he was pushing on that lap, there wasnt much he could do against that snap oversteer.

        No - he’s a very capable midfielder who deserves his spot on the grid but is never going to win a championship.
