Albon says his car won't be fixed in time. Like, straight.

Yeah… he really screwed that pooch

I dunno man…. I think they can get 1 car ready, not sure about both … kudos to them if they can but that Alex crash was immense

All I'm saying is that if most of the car is available in components at the race anyway having a prebuilt chassis ready (less power components, wings etc which they transport already) as a rule wouldn't be that much of an ask considering the value of the sport. Treat it the same as any team building up a new car for a driver... all that changes is a stipulation that requires a partially complete car... and perhaps additional ~ 400kg in freight.

I think they are allowed to have a spare chassis, which is what you describe.
they certainly used too and I don't recall it changing.

Good analysis by Karun on the timings and why an immediate red flag wouldn’t have mattered for RedBull

I still don't understand why the double yellows didn't neutralise all laps in progress as happened a few races ago

So according to the British Mafia Max was in the wrong place at the right time, so RB are just crying for attention.

There is nothing more to it, so its pretty accurate

This point has merit, because Lawson and Charles wouldn’t have improved

Depends on the location of the drivers on the track.

For the Stroll one at Turn 4 - Russell was in front of Stroll and Ocon arrived just after Stroll went off track.

Max was still approaching Turn 1 .

The rest of the field was Botas and Alonso approaching Turn 6 and rest of the field was past Turn 8.

A small lift around yellow flags wont be much on a track getting faster and faster?

Yellows and double yellows only apply to the sector they're waved in. So if you as a driver are past that area when they're first thrown, you carry on as per normal.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question.

Max really not happy with Stroll trying to do what Checo did at the Canadian GP.

The question really is - when is a car allowed to try get back to the pits and not trigger a red flag... when it's determined it cannot do so or when it hits a barrier?
