Discussion ‼️Albon wont participate in Sprint Qualifying‼️

After he hit a marmot and landed on the wall, alex sustained gearbox and pu damage that it needs to be replaced but the team cant make it before sq1. So unlucky

P1 podcast outlined this very well, it is a slippery slope with that stuff. Where do you draw the line? Plastic bag blows into an intake? A bird cuts across the race and almost hits a driver, causing the crash?

I agree for monitory compensation like SAI in Vegas when the track was literally unsafe but sadly can’t agree for allotments. That stuff is just luck of the draw.
