Charles LeClerc
The Q3 session of the 2019 Italian Grand Prix 2019 has to be one of the most bizarre sessions ever. Out of the remaining 9 drivers, excluding Kimi Raikkonen who crashed out earlier, only Carlos Sainz was able to set a lap time. However, he was unable to trouble Charles LeClerc on provisional pole.
Apparently, every single driver were backing into each other to get the tow off each other. In the end, only Sainz crossed the line on time, while the man behind him, Charles LeClerc barely squeaked through. Unfortunately, everyone else behind him missed out and Sainz was unable to improve his lap time or position and stayed 7th. LeClerc also could not improve in the pandemonium.
FIA investigating that last lap in qualifying. Nine drivers involved, with potential of penalties. The one driver who wasn’t involved in that was Kimi Raikkonen who beached his car.

A huge number of grid penalties were handed out in F3 this weekend for unnecessarily slow driving in qualifying…

So then, do all the @F1 drivers get 10 place grid penalties too? 🤷🏻♂️

FIA has set a new minimum time between the two SC-lines (1.45 min) to prevent drivers slowing down too much on their outlap and queueing up on the back straight, which could lead to dangerous situations.#F1 #AMuS #ItalianGP
