F-1 2024 Round 5 - Sprint Race
#F1 #Formula1 #ChineseGP

Lewis had a great start and beats Lando to turn 1. They battle through turn 2 and Lando runs wide and drops to P6.

Max is just too strong, passes Alo by lap 7, then Lewis by lap 9.

Big battle between the Ferraris, bring out the🍿

Q1 -
Max tops Q1, followed by Charles and Lando.

The following drivers are out:
ZHO, MAG, HAM (1), TSU, SAR

(1) - Lewis should have made Q2, but made a mistake towards the end and loses 6/10ths. A bit self-inflicted since the commentators could see it coming. From feast to famine!

Q2 -
Carlos loses his car in the final corner and brings out the red flag. I thought he was out but was able to get the engine going again (F-1 cars have self-start capability c/o the MGU-K) and get back to the pits to continue Quali (more about that later).

Q3 -
Max makes it 3 of 3, followed by Checo and Alo. Since Max won the sprint race, it might be one of those weekends. Sad!

VER, PER, ALO, NOR, PIA, LEC, SAI, RUS, HUL, BOT

About Carlos and his Ferrari, Aston filed a protest on why they were allowed to continue Quali based on their interpretation of the regs. It was denied.

Checo making P2 was good since he had a close call with Albono in Q1.
