Well, Qualifying was errrr… interesting! Video of the slow-race to start the final flying lap – only SAI made it in time and everyone else failed. Toto Wolff said “everyone looks like idiots”; the stewards said they’d investigate that final lap, because they’d previously warned the drivers not to take too long on their out […]
