George Russell takes Austrian GP pole after Verstappen crash
GEORGE RUSSELL IS ON POLE IN AUSTRIA!! 🥇👏 #F1 #AustrianGP
Thomas Labarre18He kept full speed with a visible wavering yellow we ALL saw. Shame.
Billie Lauren Hindle 🎙️ | 🩷BWT Alpine💙14Ferrari should appeal. FIA have just full let him send it through yellows.
Gert-Jan 13FIA doesn’t concern itself with safety of a crashed driver? Why not instant double yellows or even red?
larkroe.bsky.social12I didn’t know yellow flags were optional.
Dirk Steins11Shame! He didn’t lift, lap should be cancelled!
markasteele.bsky.social10Gee, it can take the stewards forever to decide minor offenses and this is binned in 5 minutes? Antonelli is rightfully livid. George never seems to win any new fans.
Douglas Reyes-Ceron23ok I just finished watching qualifying and this is bullshit lol
Mari¹⁰🇧🇷10Leclerc é azarado até nisso, era pra ele ter conquistado a pole position mas a FIA aliviou pro Russell. É triste a vida do ferrarista! 🫠 #F1 #AustrianGP
Brooke4Utter woke nonsense FIA = FUN ISNT ALLOWED
all4n2fdp, pau no cu, arrombado 🖕
anotherhuman.bsky.social2Controversy aside... You see Woody, right? #f1
Maaike2If he keeps it , this will be the equivalent of Argentina getting a ride by Fifa. He didn't lift one bit. Double yellow. The arrogance of Russel gets on my nerves. Fake ass dude 🤢
The reason Russell’s lap wasn’t deleted is because the single yellow was only upgraded to a double yellow after 15 seconds. He lifted fully on approach (and around 100m earlier) and applied throttle later on exit, so stewards deemed it a significant reaction #F1 #AustrianGP
Chris Medland33The 15s delay was a question I had, but am told race control was debating if it could stay single yellow due to the size of the run-off area in order to allow others to complete laps, but opted for double yellow (that sees lap times deleted) for safety #F1 #AustrianGP
ohayoghurt.bsky.social1Well the stewards got it wrong imo, once you account for noticeable clipping into T9 on normal push laps, the time Russell lost by lifting and coasting instead was barely noticeable in real time, and not enough for me to be satisfied that he acted safely. Can't believe they let Russell keep pole.
romaa13.bsky.social1It was being discussed on the amount he lifted as there really isn’t an amount to lift just as long as he does. I don’t get that. When to go to double yellow & when not is frustrating. Stewards seem to make some weird decisions during and after.
Stewards: “George Russell is under investigation for…” Toto Wolff: opens passport, points aggressively 🇬🇧 Stewards: “Sorry for the inconvenience, Mr. Wolff. NO FURTHER INVESTIGATION.” #F1 #AustrianGP
I like the Shipping Forecast3Come on man. I think Russell should be stripped of the lap, I think the FIA should be enforcing proper slowdowns for yellows, but don’t start with this British bias nonsense.
Alejandro Fernández3We all feel the same way, with telemetry and available data it should be a "piece of cake" decision, but it wasn't. Toto rulez. Shame.
Alex the iRacer (iCrasher) 🏁💥1it’s so blatant… sets such a dangerous precedent…
