Vowles tosses Sargeant under the bus;

quote:

“What you saw here wasn't a driver making a mistake because they were pushing to the limits,” he said. “It's a very different type of mistake, a frustrating one by all accounts, because it wasn't on the limit of what the car could do.

“There was far more turning potential in it, he just didn't know where the car was on track, relative to where he expected it to be anyway.

“So I don't think you're seeing there the reaction of someone that wasn't driving in Melbourne, you're seeing more just a situation that could have appeared at any time.”

Well FP2 was a total bust. Three cars set hot laps at the end on softs, and two cars set hot laps on inters when the track was wetter. That's it.


Imagine only being able to go to fp2 and that's what u get.

Sounding more and more likely that Vowles never wanted Sargeant back this year, but got overruled by his private equity overlords. An American pay driver for an American owned company.

Sargeant binned it in P1. Again no spare chassis for Williams.


At least he fricked himself this week.

So, a couple of days ago a journo asked Danny if he would go so far as to ask for a new chassis, and he answered in the affirmative. "Before we just tell me I'm shite, let's at least get that sorted and put everything to bed."



Lo and behold, RB suddenly announces that Danny will get a new chassis in China. Alan Permane took pains to explain that the chassis was already being built, that it wasn't meant for Danny specifically, and that there's nothing wrong with his current car. They just want him to shut up about the equipment.
quote:

Permane: "For me the chassis is a big lump of carbon that we attach the suspension to, attach an engine to, and a gearbox to,” he said. “It's really ever so unlikely that there are performance issues with the chassis. However, we have a new one coming through, it makes sense at all levels to give that to Daniel, not least that Yuki is super happy and super comfortable where he is. We don't have a preference on drivers. With Daniel maybe it's good for him to just put that completely to bed, that there any there any issues with the car.

Wanting a new chassis has Danny Ric reminding me of Mazepin.

Danny spins off the track at the exit of Turn 1. The camera immediately switches to Liam Lawson in the garage.

He's going to be hit over the head with reality soon enough. Hopefully by the time Lawson hops in they'll have all the chassis issues sorted

Looking at sector times it appears Chuck is crushing it on 17 lap old tires.

Oh shite, Danny is much closer to Yuki, only 0.055s behind. But that's the difference between making Q3 and not making Q3!

Makes you wonder what could have been, if he had time to set up his car in FP1
