2022 Singapore Grand Prix - Buildup, Practice & Qualifying

[PURE PASSION]

Hello again guys.
Back again after some races I took a break to calm myself down. And again I will follow from a distance.
Now I watched only half qualy.
And I have a question.
How on Max last lap, he was yellow on S1 (slower then his best ) and green on S2 (slower on Hams best s2),and he was 9 tenths faster then Lec?? According to the table above he would be at the best - 7 tenths faster. So either the colors of the sectors where wrong or the time!!!

And then you are Max. You are on a pole lap, just a few hundred meters áááááááááááááánd..........budget gone. Oops.

Low fuel. Better to box him in than take a fine/penalty for not meeting regs with regards to having 1ltr of fuel for a sample by the FIA.

A very very good strategy is required tomorrow

Were both cars under-steering alot or just Carlos did you see?

TBH I didn't watch most of the FP sessions so can't comment on understeer, but the quali result has shown that we have a driver capable of winning if the stars align and he gets a clean race with decent strategy. How often have we said that, so I'm not counting any chickens. It could be Max/Perez or HAM, but I so hope not.

So I think what happened was on his lap before he set a phenomenal S1 but made a mistake in S3 so backed out and then went for another lap. He set a slower S1 but it was still quicker than everyone else by some margin and by S2 he was 9 tenths up despite being slower than Hamilton's S2 time he was still well up from his S1 time even though it wasn't his best.

Think this is what happened, hope it helps.

Thanks for response friend I haven't seen any running at all so far, thanks to the little matter of Arsenal v sp*rs which happened to be on at the same time lol! I am obviously additionally happy we Ferrari got the pole, but of course like you sort of say, tomorrow is another day!

Well ,according to @tifosi 1993 time table in previous page,the best S1 was Max's and was 0,293 better then Lec. Best S2 was HAM's and was0,368 better then Lec.
If you combine these 2 you add 0,661 and this is by have the best S1&2. On live TV they sawed us Ves being yellow on S1 (so slower then his own best) and greed on S2 (so slower then HAM's best) .That tells as that he had to be lower then 0,661 faster then Lec.But they tell us he was 0,9+. Now there 2 scenarios. Either the color displays on live where wrong and he had actually put purple at least 1 of the 2 first sectrors, or he wasn't that much(0.9+) faster then Lec.Ajd Lec had massive S3.(But if Max was indeed 0,9 faster in S2 ,he for sure would and up on pole)

Basically he was the last driver on the circuit to put down a lap & track was improving.

Pitty that Saniz couldn’t nail, he had the best chance. This is what makes difference between Leclerc & him.
