He should've looked after his tyres better in quali cause that's what ultimately ruined his race - if his crappy tyres didn't have some sort of manufacturing defect.
IF is a long word in F1..
you cannot afford to waste a set of tyres to gain one spot on the grid.It´s tough but it´s the same set of rules for everyone.
I fear we will see less efort and risk in Q3 in the future now.The potential gain of having one more set of fresh softs for the race is just too important.I´d think thats easily one second per lap quicker in that stint for the same number of laps,one more attack /overtaking opportunity and maybe two more laps you can stay out....adding flexibility to your race strategy.
