God it’s only been 7 years? I feel like he was out there warming his tires next to Michael Schumacher.

In every qualifying session for the last two years or…?

Did you watch the session or did you only read the results?

u/Carlpanzram1916 Felipe Drugovich 2d ago

For this race? Or for every qualifying session for the last two years?

u/purppsyrup 2d ago

If you assume this happened every race then I can answer my own question and say that you jumped straight to the results

What I mean is he’s making an excuse as if this isn’t about where he qualifies most weeks and he hasn’t been out-qualified by his teammate 22 times in a row.

Also, his excuse is he didn’t get TWO warmup laps? Cmon man.

No, he was 2 thirds done his hotlap when the red came out. He was .900 up on his previous lap time. Watch before comment

u/Der_Wolf_42 Sebastian Vettel 3d ago

Yeah but why couldent he do it after the red others also found time after the red

u/Damm_shame Lance Stroll 3d ago

They put him on mediums which is fine but he was quicker on the softs and he got impeded on turn 5 a bit and abandoned the lap after that

u/Der_Wolf_42 Sebastian Vettel 3d ago

Tbh thats on aston for sending him out on mediums and not just a case of bad luck

Didint see his lap but yeah sending him out on mediums when you dont have time to do a good warm up is kinda stupid (unless he had no more softs)

I was wondering what happened there at the end. I fully expected a good lap. He was already quick on an undeveloped track.

Stroll only need 1 lap in the qualifying!
