It wouldn't have helped Verstappen anyway because he was 11th at the time the yellow came out but what if another car goes off and hits Stroll?

They are saying on Sky that it took 40 sec. to bring out the red flag.

Notable also that Stroll was still trying to get the car moving. |

Whoops. Alonso just made the lunch break disappear for the AM crews.

And with 7 minutes to go, and times starting to ramp up as the tyres come in - its red-flagged again.
Norris just went top, so that'll keep the conspiracy theorists happy...... with Albon Piastri, Ocon, Russell, Leclerc, Tsunoda and Lawson filling the next places. Looks like Alonso had made it a double whammy for the Aston Martin mechanics..... |

Hamilton sounding somewhat unimpressed: "I don’t have any hopes for the race. Just going to do what I can do. With the car I have right now, it’s the worst I’ve ever driven so I probably won’t be going very far with it. Maybe I’ll start from the pitlane and… I don’t know, we’ll see, but it’s undrivable."

Session due to resume very shortly, and apparently no rain forecast, so a frantic few minutes ahead....

Seriously though - every single red flag decision is dealt with as its own thing. Context really is everything. As it is with the Albon crash. That's nasty. |

Red flag again - with 3.5 minutes - will it resume?

This 60 minute session is currently 91 minutes in with at least 3 minutes to go.

Albon asking if the brakes failed, but team say nothing showing on the data.....car is a mess, but as it stands, Albon is still in second spot......
Rear of the car almost unrecognisable...... |

Ted said something interesting. Could Williams give Albon Francos car because he's currently 2nd on the grid?
Would this take grid penalties for Albon? |

What a mad session.
Piastri and Max have work to do. |

So Lando improves on both push laps to retain pole, a late charge by Russell gets him second, ahead of Tsunoda, Ocon, Lawson, Leclerc, and Albon on his pre-crash time, than surprisingly Piastri is only 8th, leaving alonso and Stroll to fill the top 10, if they can get the cars repaired.....
Oddest top ten I've seen in a long time! |

Norris is so lucky, everything falls into his lap.
