Tbh he wasn't improving so it wouldn't have made a difference anyway. He had yellow mini sectors all through. Gasly suffered the most as he genuinely looked good.
It's just terrible excuses

Drivers can always choose to drive slower to keep it on track, it’s not ‘on the limit’ but the risk-reward is at their discretion. That’s where the skill is!
Oh look at you two, cute
I agree with him. To finish first you have to finish first. Drive to the conditions. etc. 90% of motor racing is keeping it on track.
Would help if Pirelli could make a rain tyre... they need to look at giving the tyres to somebody else.
Yes becasue they chose to do a warm up lap, he had just started his push lap when he got stopped.
I think so of the younger drivers just go for it, maybe a lack of experience or just a different attitude to yesteryear.
There is no push lap with yellow sectors
It will be different in a race I think, well I hope!
He was stopped becasue of Stroll after one sector.
Absolute balls on Norris here pushing.
His previous lap was probably an attempt, but something slowed him there as S1 was on pace. His attempt that got stopped at the end he was already well off
Well done Yuki
WOW Yuki Tsunoda goes into second place and Esteban Ocon is third. Liam Lawson slots into fourth.
That was a fun end at least.
My predictions are a mess but there’s no point in changing them.

I can see the race being a classic
what a final minute. what a grid
Well Lando actually got pole, where I put him 
Really hope we get a race

Norris nails it in the end, while Oscar messed up and ends up 8th.
Whatever happens in the next few races, it’s been a great season to watch this year. Competition really makes it such a better spectacle.
I stayed with Norris Pole, the rest are a mess but not changing.
Piastri couldn’t even better Albon in the end, mega effort from Russell.
That was a hell of a last lap by Lando considering Piastri and Leclerc couldn't improve
Norris absolutely smashes it out of the park. He is a sensational qualifier anyway, but he is genuinely as good as any in these conditions
Beautiful drive from George there
Also had a unsafe rejoining in Q1 but not sure if race direction will remember that!
Yeah I don't get why they stuck with Pirelli all this time considering the amount of feck ups it has had. I don't even trust them for my personal vehicle.
Russell has been shite this qualifying and deserves at least one penalty.
Yeah Russell should definitely have a penalty or two. The block on Sainz (?), rejoining right in front of someone when he went off, and then there.
It seems like the stewards have just given up on enforcing penalties. Perhaps - could be too busy trying to figure out the optimum timing for red flags to feck over Max?!

The catch-22 of the qualifying session was you needed to be at the front of the pit lane queue to get track position to avoid yellow/red flags but you’d lose tyre temp and then to get temps into the tyre you’d need to drive hard from lap 1 even though the temps weren’t there to do so!
Can't believe they've moved the race forward as won't get home till 5 
Piastri botched yet another qualy? He has been absolutely hammered in qualy sessions this year
If we have as many red flags as we just did, might take a while anyway!Can't believe they've moved the race forward as won't get home till 5
I doubt there will be a raceCan't believe they've moved the race forward as won't get home till 5
If there is it’ll time out before it actually ends
Leclerc got unlucky with the yellow flag at the start of his hot lap.
There really should be at this pt though I feel. Flags in quali fecked too many drivers. McLaren may be the only ones who dont want a race.
Yeah, that's not where he lost his time though as he had a good first sector. I think he must have had a moment somewhere but they didn't show it.
There will be a race, but I have real doubts if there will be a full grid, there is a hell of a lot of work to do on the crashed cars.
Course it clashes with our game
Unfortunately I don't see us getting to enjoy what has the potential for an epic race
