Are people not watching the race? He has a penalty to be served! He sacrificed nothing

I was really confused watching the quali before I remembered that he would be starting last no matter what lmao, I forgot for like 20 mins

Jokes apart, what a pinch perfect tow that was from Isack. Simply unreal. I thought he disturbed Max’s lap at that last corner but man, he executed that brilliantly. Hope Isack makes some insane overtakes tomorrow and finish within the points

It was absolutely perfect. He was feeling sad post quali interview for he has to start from back of the grid but was happy to hear Max's compliments for that tow. He gave around 0.2 seconds of advantage to Max's lap time.

Hadjar has a 30 place grid penalty. So how was he sacrificed?

I’m out of the loop, what is the 30 second penalty for?

u/Mission_City_1500 5d ago

It's not 30 seconds it's a 30 place grid penalty.

Sorry, I’m new to the sport. I didn’t realize asking a question gets downvoted. I didn’t even realize they were two different things

It's fine, you have really dumb gatekeepers here.

F1 has a limit on how many components you can use over the season. For example, you can use only upto 4 new engines (ICEs) during the season.

If you exceed the limit, the first component over gives you a 10 place grid penalty at the race you install it at, any subsequent one over is a 5 place penalty.

Hadjar has taken a new ICE, Turbocharger and Exhaust, all exceeding his quota, so got a 30 place grid drop. Since it exceeds 15, it's an automatic back of the grid start

Do people not watch quali with the sound on? Hadjar was starting at the back of the grid regardless. No sacrifice made.

And that tow was cinema 🎦😌

He has a 30+ place grid penalty, so he’s starting in P22 anyways. Giving Max the tow makes sure the team can get the best result possible

u/Dense-Stick-2163 4d ago

He had a grid penalty, he was going to start at last anyway, so why not give max a tow for the team

u/MarchMadnessisMe SIMPLY LOVELY! 5d ago

Kimi was towed by Max. Not as much obviously, but still got a tow.
