I just had another look at Sergio's on board. He touched the back left of Carloz who was slowly drifting towards him. Could have been avoided by Sergio.

Looked like a puncture back left for Sainz?
India is a problem.
And he walked back to the pits at 5km/hr.
Looks like he wanted to put the car sideways as a last attempt to reduce speed, same as when initiating a drift.
Turns out he is disqualified from qualifying results. A sad weekend for Williams.... Albon had qualified 8th.
OK I found it myself : https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/were-russells-worn-tyres-the-cause-of-his-spa-f1-disqualification/10640096/
“We expect that the loss of rubber from the one-stop was a contributing factor, and we'll work to understand how it happened.
“We won't be making any excuses though. It is clearly not good enough and we need to make sure it doesn't happen again.”
The missing weight of 1.5kg may sound like a lot, but we are only talking about 375 grammes from each corner.
And as Pirelli head of F1 Mario Isola has explained, that is well within the boundaries of how much a worn tyre loses.
Why "definitely", please publish your info? Pirelli disagrees with you.
Does anybody know how much weight the tyres lose during a long stint like Russel did? And when compared to a 20-lap?
Watching a football game from the worst seat: "Make me cry, make me cry!"
A slow lap can be done by driving through the pits (or is there some other alternative road?). A car has to do a slow lap if he did not have DRS for 2 laps while the car following did have DRS.
DRS time can be extended to 2 or 3 seconds.
