if live timing was correct, it's true. Only Hamilton saved a set of softs, according to that, while LEC used it for a 2nd run in Q2
P5 is not a good place to start. He might get hit and damaged again and even if he gets a clean start overtaking will be impossible. He essentially is out of contention for the win imo. Charles has a much better chance starting on the front row. We know lando often doesn’t hold the lead after turn 1. Great opportunity for charles to get a second win this season.ToffeeTyres wrote: ↑25 Jul 2026, 17:24If Lewis gets a 3 place grid penalty it might work in his favour being on the clean side of the track.

If Lewis has a grid penalty Charles will be on dirty side so could be very tough to get a good start. You would think Lewis wouldn’t have a chance being 5th but he will be on clean side of grid and could get a good start if he doesn’t get into any collisions on first lap he could have a good race he has a new set of softs Charles doesn’t neither has any new mediums either could be tough for Charles but if he can get a good start he’s certainly in it for the winHammerfist wrote: ↑25 Jul 2026, 17:32P5 is not a good place to start.
