FORMULA 1 QATAR AIRWAYS BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2024
A Haas out qualifying a Ferrari? Now there's something you don't see every day.
Both ferraris right?
However you want to cut it. KMag out in Q1,LeClerc in Q2.
I meant it as hulk is in front of both ferraris
After getting pole:
Three brits on top of quali for the first time since 1968, and first time in Silverstone ever..
We truly are in a british age of F1
Crofty going wild!
This is like a wet dream come true for him
That was unexpected
Do sky have special sources from the teams¿? The f1tv commentary still aren't confirming that max has damage. How are sky so sure¿?
There was a clear camera shot of a chip missing from the front of one of the fins on the underside of the floor.
Journalists are in Whatsapp broadcast groups handled by the teams. RBR press officer sent a message into his group confirming the floor damage.
Not just a Sky thing, quite a few F1 journos are in those groups.
Weird then that this did not reach the f1tv commentary team.
Max is trying to fight against the other drivers, but is fighting against his own floor
Three Brits at the top right now.
Considering the floor damage, Max is still doing pretty well.
Hulk also doing great.
Damn that is one fight for pole
Oof, comparing track dominance between Leclerc and Stroll...
Merc PU is working really well at Silverstone.
From the Monaco curse to now the post-Monaco curse 💀
Is Redbull allowed repair (replace) the floor before the race?
I think you're allowed to repair/swap components as long as they're identical spec. No setup changes, but they should be able to put in a new one.
I think that is all at the stewards discretion.
Doesn't read like it to me
40 PRE-SPRINT AND PRE-RACE PARC FERME
40.2 [...] the following work may be carried out:
g) Repair of genuine accident damage, defined as any of the following:
iii) Damage incurred whilst off track limits, which also result in significant loss of lap time or a lap time which is deleted by the Race Director.
Thanks for the source.
changed during parc ferme
From the document:
Car 01: Floor assembly (without skids and plank)
Floor keel panel
All above parts have been replaced with the approval of the FIA technical delegate following a written request from the team concerned, this being in accordance with Article 40.3 of the 2024 Formula One Sporting Regulations.
Short answer is yes, with identical parts otherwise it's a grid drop or pitlane start depending on what is changed and why.
I think that still needs approval of the stewards.
You are incorrect.
Looks like approval was needed and granted

I don't understand how or why approval would've been needed, unless Red Bull asked just to be safe?
The damage should've been covered under normally allowed repairs during parc ferme rules:
I'll agree g iii could fit. If it was an out lap, or if he went into the pits at the end of the lap, the time wouldn't have been deleted, and although time was lost, was it "significant"?
And 40.3 specifies for repairs not covered in 40.2. So no harm in asking anyway, certainly better than a DQ.
The day I understand the FiA will be the day I know I've lost it.
You're definitely right that there's no harm in asking compared to a DQ.
That will certainly be breaking parc ferme.
No, actually. After the post-qualification inspections, teams can replace damaged parts like-for-like with parts that are undamaged.
RBR does not have an identical floor as far as they have said before the weekend. They only have this one.
Horner on F1TV just confirmed they have a replacement.
No, they have 3,5 hours to repair it.
After the qualifying session ends on Saturday night, there will be a period of three and a half hours when the team are allowed to inspect, repair, and ensure that the racing cars are prepared for the upcoming race.
No you can replace a damaged part as long the replacement part is the exact same spec
And apprently they dont have a same-spec floor
Could it be floor damage for Verstappen?
Wow. That was good.
Damn everybody at red Bull must have had a heart attack for a moment or two
Let's fucking gooo, Williams.
Sargeant is out qualifying Perez.
Sargeant is out qualifying Perez.
Is it just me or is this becoming a weekly thing now
He is more often in front of perez than in front of albon ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Clever move by Perez. He figured most were going to out qualify him either way, so he placed the car in the gravel trap early to save the engine. /s
Man out here playing 5D chess /s
