Such a shame. He had the pace, and having him start 2nd would have made the race insanely tense. We can still hope for a miracle but he’d have to have a great start. Not easy to pass around here.

I don’t think it would’ve mattered. Russell is the kind of guy to let Norris pass just to spite Max. I would be surprised if towards the end of the race we get Verstappen Piastri Russell Norris and Russell let’s Lando by.
