“Crashes are of course more common here in Monaco... but usually it doesn’t happen on purpose.' F1 MonacoGP Formula1
FIA to shine ‘magnifying glass’ on Q3 to stamp out deliberate crashesThe Monaco Grand Prix stewards will be looking at any Q3 mistakes with a “magnifying glass” after two late crashes – not “usually” deliberate – led to red flags in the past two seasons.
That crash handed him pole position as those behind him on the track weren’t able to improve their lap times, the clock stopped and Race Control calling time on the session. At the time Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff suggested F1 change to an IndyCar style rule where if a driver crashes, his loses his best time from the session.
But the driver who lost the most as Max Verstappen as he’d been on a flier but had to settle for P4, one place behind his Mexican team-mate. This year Verstappen says he’ll get in his best lap on his first lap just in case someone crashes, although that “usually” isn’t deliberate.“Crashes are of course more common here in Monaco, just like on other street circuits. You have to learn to deal with that.”Sainz says this year the FIA are giving some consideration to changing the rules to state if a driver crashes, he would lose his best time from the session.PlanetF1.
