The FIA explains why it took 40 seconds to red flag Brazil F1 qualifying after Lance Stroll's Q2 crash
The FIA has explained the 40-second red flag delay after Lance Stroll's crash in Formula 1 Brazilian Grand Prix qualifying that Red Bull feels cost Max Verstappen a shot at avoiding Q2 elimination. Stroll tagged the barriers after spinning off at Turn 3 in the second qualifying segment, bringing out the yellow flag with 1m37s left on the clock.
The lengthy qualifying session and the short turnaround time to the race at 12:30 local time meant it was crucial - and potentially race saving - for drivers to make it back to the pits after an incident so the teams can repair the cars. For example, after his early shunt Franco Colapinto's Williams was stuck behind the barrier for over 90 minutes until the end of qualifying, before Williams could even begin to assess the damage.
