If you dont finish qualy in full shape you cannot be on pole. Thats a given. Your lap doesnt matter if all others cannot have the same chance to set a time by your mistake.

Im a Ferrari fan but Charles should not be on pole via this situation unless the time was stopped, his car cleared and 2 -3 minutes added for others to complete a lap.

I hear ya, but this is a sport built on a rule book and they did nothing against the rules. Don’t hate the playa! Hate the game!

And we still don’t know about the gearbox, correct?

I also think he didn’t crash on purpose but that’s just my opinion. Go Charlie!

Monaco has a not good tradition for this. I expect a new rule about qualy because of this. There has been some negative press about keeping pole simply by crashing.

Gearbox is to be finally assesed in a few hours by Ferrari. If its in doubt it will be changed. The initial assessment is no damage but they did not power it up significantly. They will need sometime for a change if needed.

Yes for sure. Its a problem with the qualy rules. Makes no sense at all. Maybe the FIA will address it. It did rob us fans of true competition. If you crash you cannot deny others but its what we have for the moment

HAPPY RACE DAY!! See the pic of Porsche Super Cup support race crash today on the circuit.........wow.
