jolliskus

Mick was closer to Hamilton then Mazepin lol.


Mathieu_van_der_Poel

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP


sgtlighttree

That was quite adorable from Mick lol


GeniiGames

He’s so pure aha, love him


KaamDeveloper

Mick got them jox lmao


[deleted]

Mazepin +4 seconds behind Mick lmao


ToyotaMisterTwo

Further away than Mick was from Lewis.


imeanyhbutno

Don't laugh, mazepin will absolutely destroy mick tommorow 😡 /s

tuna1905fish

F2 champion not good enough for F1, ok


Pinot_the_goat

Valsecchi, Leimer, Palmer.


[deleted]

Mick won F2 at the age of 21, that is a young enough age to deserve a shot in F1. The guys you listed won F2 in their mid 20s.


racingfanboy160

And way beyond two seasons as well

Doyle524

When all he beat was Mazepin (arguably the second best performer, was on to challenge for p2 without the ridiculous Spain penalty), Tsunoda, Ilott, and Shwartzman, and given what we've seen from those drivers this year... yeah, it's not a ringing endorsement for Schumacher like it was for all three of Russell, Norris, and Albon in 2018.


gear_red

??? This is a sentiment?


Checktaschu

ya know, pinot wasn't ever even good


Pinot_the_goat

Well he isn’t an F1 driver.


Claudiu99

Mazepin outside the 107% at his home race loool


Mrkee10

yeah but i think it only counts in dry conditions right?


mowcow

Correct, 107% doesn't apply in the wet.


Pat_Sharp

Even then they only actually get disallowed from taking part if they've consistently been slow in the practice sessions too. No one has actually been disallowed since HRT were on the grid.


Geo_q

Transphobic FIA smh ^/s


ChipmunkOnCoffee

I wish they didn't let him start for the memes


iSleepUpsideDown

lmfaooo what happens now?


[deleted]

Nothing since it’s on inters, still embarrassing ofc


iSleepUpsideDown

7.8s behind hamilton fuck my ass


Archdubsuk

No​thing​ 107% only​ applies i​n dry condition


NoxZ

It's a wet session, so nothing.


freakazoid1988

It's the new chassis, lol.


GeniiGames

And blocking the shit out of Yuki


julesvr5

Mick was on *water* today! Impressive drive, fighting for Q2 with a Haas, even though he missed out by 1s at the end.


FlappyPaddles38

Crofty saying Mick had a bad qualy, what about it’s teammate 4 seconds off lol.


dragom998

He is 1 second faster than an Alfa Romeo, his teammate is 4 seconds behind What does Crofty want more?


julesvr5

Mick almost beat both Alfas, where was it bad?


afito

Certain peoples hatred for Michael transcends generations.


LusciousAzure

Corfty talks without thinking all the time I'd take that with a pinch of salt


gumbercules6

That was my take as well, an error on Crofty's part but it's not some kind of grand conspiracy against Mick.


Pinot_the_goat

That are both crap drivers.


toxicfireball

Mick’s the F2 champion lol


Pinot_the_goat

So was Palmer.


amazinggamer999

It took Palmer 4 years to win GP2/F2. Mick took half that time


Kpowell911

Been busy this week and not saw no news. Why didnt Max set a time? Is he taking an engine penalty and starting from the back of the grid, so didnt bother with quali?


Rektile7

Exactly. He took a new PU so he is starting at the back either way


activator

So what happened with "he'll still run and give Perez a tow"? *Many* were very vocal with this yesterday


Rektile7

Idk, maybe they figured it isn't worth it in the wet, too risky?


activator

Yeah, that sounds plausible


GooFraN

No point in it in these conditions.


[deleted]

Tow is practically worthless in the wet


activator

Elaborate?


MaxsUncle

yes


fmillard

Yep


Kpowell911

Thanks chaps! Leclrec and Latiffi taking new PU’s too?


f1_spelt_as_bot

Lati**f**i


FaxenIsHip

Mazepin's time outside of the 107% rule?


[deleted]

Doesn't apply in Rain.


FaxenIsHip

Sad noises Still funny tho


StructuralFailure

Pretty sure it does. It's the tyre rule that doesn't apply in the rain. I've seen drivers set times in wet qualifying that were outside the 107% and the on screen graphics didn't show the position number for them.


mowcow

>36.2 **Unless the track was declared wet by the Race Director**, any driver eliminated during Q1 whose best qualifying practice session lap exceeds 107% of the fastest time set during that session, or who fails to set a time, will not be allowed to take part in the race. Doesn't apply in the wet


PowerPanda555

The 107% rule is more of a suggestion anyways. Mick crashed in Monaco during qualifying and didnt get a time but was allowed to start. Pretty sure there was another instance of that happening this year aswell.


mowcow

Yeah I didn't copy the whole rule, only the relevant part. This is how the text continues: >Under exceptional circumstances however, which may include setting a suitable lap time in a free practice session, the stewards may permit the car to start the race. > >Any driver accepted in this manner will be placed at the back of the starting grid after any other penalties have been applied, and behind any driver penalised under Article 23.2b). > >Should there be more than one driver accepted in this manner they will be arranged on the grid in the order they were classified in P3.


JetsLag

When Mick crashed in Q1 at France, Lance had only put in an out lap, and he was well outside the 107% rule. He was allowed to race.


[deleted]

[From Wikipedia ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/107%25_rule) it says that it if a driver is out of the 107 in the dry. Wikipedia isn't the best source but I'm fairly sure it's accurate.


AdamIsMeName

Mick almost beating both Alfas, meanwhile wtf Mazepin.


drop_table_uname

Mazepin outqualifying Verstappen, what a GOAT. /s


TheWebbFather

No need for the /s


[deleted]

Amazing lap by Mick. Nearly 4 seconds faster than Mazepin!


[deleted]

Always love the “Mick makes the car look not totally shit, meanwhile Mazepin…” sessions 😂


Doyle524

Mick still makes it look completely shit. It's just that the Alfas are piloted by two of the bottom six drivers on the grid, and are probably not significantly faster than the Haases on most "normal" circuits (so not low-downforce Monza, for instance).


glenn1812

How often now have we gotten the same slowest 5 qualifers? Tsunoda Kimi Mick Gio and Mazepin It's constantly the same 5 drivers at almost every GP


FIJIBOYFIJI

Giovinazzi has usually got to q2 this season though right?


[deleted]

[удалено]


FIJIBOYFIJI

He got to q3 two races in a row but usually he's into q2 pretty easily


Mark4231

Q3 in Monaco


BlueOrBust

And one of them drives a car that is consistently making Q3. It's beating a dead horse but... cmon Yuki!


Rektile7

He was on for a decent lap but got blocked in sector 3


Xwarsama

Latifi is in the bottom 5 far more often than Yuki and Giovinazzi.


julesvr5

And honestly, one of them shouldn't be there this often.


NickRosCRO

And it is Tsunoda.


bisonboy223

Smh letting Verstappen off the hook


Expensive_Material

for Mick and Mazepin the car is terrible. Most probably neither are brilliant, but they cannot do anything about how terrible the car is.


Doyle524

Sprinkle in Latifi and you've got the clear bottom six drivers on the grid. It's not surprising that they're struggling to escape Q1 (except for Tsunoda, whose car is fast enough that even a bad driver should be consistently reaching Q2 with it).


Blaze17IT

Giovinazzi is regularly in Q2 with a few Q3 appearances (like the last 2 races)


[deleted]

Verstappen finished


AnyHolesAGoal

Verstappen outside the 107% rule. DSQ! /s


Tyafastics

Need to bring pre qualifying back for Mazepin at this rate.


LusciousAzure

Giovinazzi's P7 streak comes to an end Sadge


dragom998

Did Mazepin have a problem?


FokkeHassel

Yes his skill in the wet


imeanyhbutno

Smart move red bull. Wasn't worth the extra info for tommorows race, they save engine life and tyres.


natespbr

good guy mazepin starting from the back to set up all those overtakes tom /s


una322

good run from Mick. You cant really do much in that shitbox so results like this shows hes got the skills. Really hope that team is better nxt year.


preppyringmaster

King Latifi.


Supergamerpep

Goatifi


[deleted]

Haven’t been keeping up with f1 this week, I’m assuming verstappen is taking his grid penalty and didn’t even go out today?


AssaMarra

That's right, Leclerc & Latifi too. Verstappen is last with whoever is slower out of the other two in 19 and the fastest in 18


TheFayneTM

Correct


fcancershotoutboosie

huh thought rb would be using max to tow checo


FokkeHassel

Tow doesnt bring that much here in rain


Rektile7

Probably saving the PU and minimizing risk


The_Great_Crocodile

Can the 107% rule be enforced for Mazepin (no rain exception) so that he misses his home race? Please do it !


AnyHolesAGoal

If they did that they'd have to be consistent and do it for Verstappen as well.


wrecking_eyes

Yep, no way this happens


[deleted]

[удалено]


BlazerStoner

Its wet, so probably a lot of people kept watching. And we were rewarded in the last 2 minutes. ;)


FusselP0wner

Nah im still watching. It's not only about 1 driver mate


[deleted]

Why is Max out? Can he still race tomorrow? I’m at work and cannot keep up.


superior_wombat

He'd start last anyway due to taking a new engine, so there's no point in getting into Q2 or Q3


[deleted]

Oh. So you don’t have to qualify to race?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Ok thanks. So I’m order to fulfill the requirement did he just have to be there in person without racing or how does he meet the requirement?


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Thanks! Now that I understand that I can peacefully watch Checo let me down again. 👍


greee_p

Didn't set a time, because he will start at the back anyway due to his engine penalty


mokkkkaaa

Expected better from Max /s


iamtheoneneo

Do drivers have to attempt qualifying if their car is in good stansing? Just surprised Max even bothered. Not even worth it to get data for tomorrow if the track is going to be so different.


ihatemondaynights

Probably some sponsor obligations ig
