Double yellow?? Cmon man that’s basically roulette.
I swear the flags in F1 are always confusing like half the time nobody knows what they mean. If Russell thought it was a double yellow then how was it even allowed??
Verstappen crashing into barriers at the end and then Russell gets pole… feels rigged ngl. Like the whole “yellow flag drama” sounds like they’re trying to cover up a mistake, but idk I didn’t watch the replay.
Okay but isn’t it on purpose when someone crashes to make everyone slow down? I’m not saying Russell cheated, but if he “pressed the wrong button” or whatever, then he should’ve been penalized. Also Antonelli saying “We could have been P3” like bro that has nothing to do with pole lol
