BOT gets another engine from the poule, so no grid penalty.
I expect that it has a very aggressive tune. (it only has to last 1 (or2) races).
To make sure MERC gets the WCC.

We'll see how fast BOT will be; if he doesn't crack under pressure.

During the next winter break ,the Mercedes PU factory has to work really hard ,to supply the Merc drivers with hundreds of PU's during the '2022 season !

Haas fined 20,000 euros for only giving MB a 10 second warning, a reprimand for Lewis for impending & a 25,000 euro fine for MB

Chappers 71 · 12-04-2021, 11:21 AM

Hmm...are you actually watching the coverage? If you are you'll be aware of the reasons & also that the FIA are allowing RBSR to protest the decision if they so wish.

Did you watched MAX's situation ?
One steward showed the yellow up while the second steward pulled the yellow down ...
But MAX got his 5 P penalty anyway ...

M2CS · 12-04-2021, 12:01 PM

Max into the wall!!!! He almost had pole, but got a bit greedy.

Damn he clipped the wall but Max gave his all.

tdott · 12-04-2021, 12:03 PM

Max in the wall!

Anything can happen.

Blindside_137 · 12-04-2021, 12:04 PM

Max had pole essentially clinched. Very likely could have lost the championship with that kiss of the wall there.

No, I’d say MAX lost it

///M Power-Belgium · 12-04-2021, 12:04 PM

Damn ..MAX's left front brake locked up ...and hit the wall !
Probably he braked too late while he was 0.2 sec. in the lead ..

minn19 · 12-04-2021, 12:07 PM

Yah pressures not getting to him………hopefully for him and RB he didn’t damage the gearbox.

Anything can happen on a track like this. We might see a NASCAR Talledega like pile up tomorrow.

He was on pole so no matter all to play for tomorrow, Max can get the better start as demonstrated before.

GuidoK · 12-04-2021, 12:08 PM

What a bummer!
This is a track where 0 error is allowed.

I hope the race tomorrow will be crash free.
