Why? The point of motor racing is to see drivers compete.

Some improvement by Alpine considering Bahrain they looked at SuperAguri levels

It just seems like a lack of a punishment when if there was no red flag they wouldn't be able to fix the damage in time.

Hulk into Q3 again. Give the guy a car with decent race pace and see what he can do.

At the very least there should be some sort of penalty

That is why I hate McLaren always sending them out early. Everyone crossing the line just kept going faster.

That was probably how it was going to be anyway regardless of when they were sent out.

Probably but I feel like both cars could have been ahead of Alonso.
I have a solution for the qualifying “road block” at pit exit.
Program the pit exit light to only allow a car to proceed every 2 seconds.
Red light.
Green light
Red light
2 seconds
Green light
And so on.
Would force the teams to release cars earlier and put more thought into when they are released from the garage.
Thoroughly sick of the hold ups in pit lane.

And if a driver moves on a red light, they get shot

Only in the US races. Especially the minorities.
Would certainly open up places for the talent waiting in the wings…
Apparently Aston Martin protested against Sainz being allowed to continue in qualifying, after he stopped on track. Article 39.6 of the racing regulations states that "Any driver whose car stops on the track during the qualifying session or the sprint qualifying session shootout will not be permitted to take any further part in that session."
However, there is significant debate as to what constitutes "stopping". There are multiple precedents of cars stopping on track, and re-starting, and being allowed to continue. The way it's been adjudicated in the past is to give them a reasonable amount of time to re-start, and there are definitely no issues if they get going again in under 30 seconds. Sainz was stationary for 1 min 17 seconds.
The appeal was rejected, but it appears likely to trigger a rule change, codifying the amount of time a car needs to spend stationary before being deemed to be "stopped".

This is not quite the same as excluding a driver who causes a red flag, but I believe this rule is designed to achieve the same outcome.

It would make more sense if it was if the driver exits the car on track

not all that fussed who wins, so long as oscar finishes in front of norris.
Only if miracles really exist.
Not much chatter here about RIC outperforming Yuki so far this weekend.

He's gotta back it up now. Points are up for grabs today. Hopefully he has an event-free race.

It was a good performance, though I don't think Tsunoda has even raced here before.
He needs to destroy him today and beat him in Miami to get back within cooee the senior RB seat conversation
Well it looks like he has the same equipment that his teammate has now, so no excuses.
The RB conversation is over. Or should be. Only bought up now for clicks and eyeballs..
