I spent the whole race just annoyed at how badly Ferrari duffed Q3.
Sainz crashing out trying to...start. LeClerc going off in the first turn and having his lap deleted. Hell, Ferrari having to wait for a single lap to begin with because they burned an unnecessary set of softs in Q1 (which they ALWAYS do for some strange reason).
Guys - you need to beat 5 cars in Q1. You could probably do that in friggen reverse - could you please try to save a set of Softs so don't have to go out there with that much pressure on a single lap?
It's at least the 2nd time you've blown that in Q3 this year.
Ferrari should've had 2 cars in the top 5 today and at least one of 'em on the podium. They duffed an easy chance to pull closer to Red Bull in the Constructors.
Additionally, I'm pretty sure we established that McLaren didn't do enough when they had an opening. Verstappen getting 2nd ahead of a hiatus says they've probably found enough form to hold Norris off just long enough to keep 1st in the Driver's.
1 DNF could change that but man, nobody breaks anymore. And nobody so much as bumps into each other either - 9 straight races without a safety car? The odds of a DNF from Max are pretty damn long.
