Even more recently, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell benefitted from his spin in qualifying at the S꧒ao Paulo GP.

Brown thinks any driver who causes a yellow or red flag in qualifying and thus impedes his rival(s) ಌs🍰hould have their current lap time deleted.

"I think it should be red flags or yellow flags, effectively impeding a driver🎃 from completing their lap,” Brown explained

"They do that in other forms of motorsports൩: you just lose your fastest lap from that session. All the drivers tend to do one lap runs [anyway] so that would penalise the driver if it was intentional or unintentional. 

"Because you've messed up someone else's lap, I think that's an easy solution and it can💎 be implemented right away."

"We need to have an extensive review, [but] we shouldn't be too quick at condemning a driver, or a ཧteam."
