Lost his chance to improve like some others got obviously.

I think in the 90s there was traction control system allowed.
You don't know what you are talking about.
Never underestimate Brighton Hove.
These current gen cars are extremely sensitive. A little change in conditions(wind, temperatures) and they are a different beast altogether. Obviously they need to do better
Are you using your eyes?
The cars suddenly hit a puddle in a wrong way and immediately it causes the car to snap. No doubt some driver error / eagerness in there, but fundamentally, these cars are not driveable in the rain. Which in and of itself is farcical.
Is it possibly tyre temperature? They always go on about that to get the fired up and working.
That Tsunoda slide was fun at least!
Yes until 94 I think. But that isn't the problem, the diffs are locking up (pure guess) or something, looks strange.
I know this generation of cars are sensitive and the tyres are crap but the conditions aren’t as bad to have caused as many red flags as they have done, it’s a by product of everyone pushing as it’s qualifying, this won’t happen in the race.
If I was Norris I am not leaving that pit 
Tsunoda is a very lucky boy looking at that.
Key point, don’t touch the white lines! The winner will be the one to just poodle around and keep it on track.
He might get pole by just jogging over the line tbfIf I was Norris I am not leaving that pit
He had enough time to improve his timings as there were 4 mins between the restart and the crash. He basically lost just one spot because of the timing of the flag rather than the 9 he lost by not doing a lap earlier
Even then he wasn't improving as he lost time to the yellow
They'd let him put a time in regardless.If I was Norris I am not leaving that pit
Probably a combination of things. But it doesn’t matter really. Fundamentally in my view F1 cars should be driveable in these conditions. We should have suspended sessions if the spray means drivers can’t see - that’s a driver safety issue. But we should not have suspended sessions because cars crash every time they try and push.
Wet driving 101, don’t touch the white lines.
I wouldnt even risk driving anymore.
come on you dont actually believe what you have posted !!
Or… it’s a function of the cars themselves?
Surely more drivers going off is evidence to that?
Obviously qualifying has made it worse rather than race but that’s not the fundamental issue.
Not saying the RB strategy was correct, the fact is that some drivers were allowed to finish their laps and he wasn't.
Which wasn't the reason for the delayed red flag
Agreed, this is too many spinning off for driver error. Drivers should be able to push if they have the right tyres on.
Cars sitting there 3 minutes before
Just put em in WRC cars. Sadly though this will probably be an excuse for Liberty to push for more desert races.
What’s class 1 rain…?
I know.
Which can’t help them with tyre temps and contributes to them driving off track.Cars sitting there 3 minutes before
Better than class 2 rain
better than class 2
Is more rain or less rain better rain?
Then Fiakachu face when a car bins it because of low grip.Cars sitting there 3 minutes before
light drizzle , well according to Sky
Quantity doesn't equal quality!
I think so as well, they are pushing to get a lap in when the tyres aren’t up to it. I think the tyres need looking into cause they should be ready from the off.
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.
