    Don’t they have a spare car?

    F1 should have a clause in the rules to allow a replacement in a case like this where it’s clear a track defect caused the damage

    Worst case scenario.

    Max, who doesn’t want to be here anyway, pulls out over safety concerns. .

    that would be best case scenario

    different winner and 50% less whining

    100% less if he take Hamilton with him!

    I think it would force the other drivers to quit the race. Another Indy fiasco.

    I think promoters (ie Liberty) would cancel the event before that.

    I’ve thought about that. How about if three of the most respected drivers, say Alonso, Max and Hammy went to the bosses and said, “call us when you can guarantee a safe track.”

    :D:D:D That’s funny as hell. The minimum wage road ape is at this moment more important than all the eight figure “recording artists” in town.

    Well they have 24 hours or so before qualifying...and if necessary they could also cancel that and draw straws for grid positions and not award any points for the race. Interesting if Sainz' car is unable to compete.

    If the floor is, in NASCAR terms, “all tore up” as is the front suspension, apparently, it seems unlikely to be repairable on site.

    And whatever materials they use may need time to cure properly.
