An accident Chemistry Raikkonen in the third part of the qualifications it is for Valtteria Bottas changed everything. Because when he's a racer Mercedesa after the first fast lap in Q3 crossed the line has already been shown red flag. Therefore Bottas the lap time was not displayed at all. But soon after, he appeared on the timeline - 1: 19.354 minutes and third place. Many are wondering why?
This is about the way you are interruption (red flag) processes at all. Because as instructed race leadershipto show up along the track red flags, it takes some time for this notification to appear in official notification system FIA. This is exactly the delay in the case Bottas made a difference between the third starting point with time and ninth place without time.
Sam Bottas he saw the corresponding s on the trackignals, as evidenced by television footage. In addition, he received on the screen of his steering wheel red warning, just after he crossed the finish line, confirmation came via radio and informationthat the first racer has no time. That's why he was Bottaswhen he returned to the pits very unhappy because he believed his last lap didn’t count. Finn he saw an opportunity to win pole position as well. “Based on the yellow flags because of Kimi, I had to honestly cut the gas in Parabolica. I think I lost my best starting position here,”To me Bottas.
The best starting point otherwise he did not win, but a time that suddenly appeared on the timeline with a lag. Because to interrupt not decisive the moment it was shown red flagbut the moment of the message "Session suspended”On the official information channel FIA. And that message is Bottas got right after crossing the finish line. Happiness in an accident for a Mercedes racer: “Of course, I get angry when I think about what I could achieve. On the other hand, it could end much worse."
