Yea, I think the rules are the same for the Sprint as they are for the race.

So if Hamilton or Russell have to change anything they will be starting the sprint race in the back?

 

[Retroram52]

Yes, the Schmoopster. It is like what happened to Perez today. He originally qualified third but because he got a pit lane speeding violation, he lost his Q3 times and now he starts tomorrow's Sprint in 13th. Same goes for changing parts between qualifying and the Sprint.

Remember, the Sprint is the new fangled way of determining the grid for the race on Sunday. Something F-1 thought would keep peep's attention during race week-end. It is not as long and it is fairly straightforward.

Albon woke up this morning and chose violence

 

[forty_three]

Forty_Three, you only need 8 selections. If you want to play 10, you can, but you only get points for the first 8. Just a reminder.

I couldn't remember if it was 8 or 10 so I picked ten in case. All good.

I guess the FIA won the dumbass bling rule.
Saw Lewis before he got ready to drop into his car. He didnt have his earrings or nose ring on.
