I have a question. If Lewis didn't officially post a time, can't he make basic setup changes (or is this done only if you start from pitlane) and start on whichever tyre he wants?


He can start on whichever tire he wants as he didn't set a time. Remember 2012 when people purposely didn't set a time so they could choose their tires for the race start :D I'm not sure about the basic setup changes. I want to say yes but idk for sure


Are you sure about that since they now start on the tyres they set their Q2 time on?

Ah $#@! I do believe you're right! I forgot about that! They did that to stop what was happening in 2012 qualifying :hehe:

Can someone explain why Lewis' pitstops are CONSISTENTLY slower than Nicos? It wasn't just in this race, it's been this way since the 4 win streak for Hamilton ended!

He lost at least 2.5 seconds over the two stops and, the first stop was crucial with Bottas keeping Lewis from Nico.
