Seb might have been safe by a hair there. 

[JonathanProc]

Good thing Seb ended up P4 and not P1 with that lap, or this would be far more controversial

[Coral]

What a joke.

[w1Y]

It doesnt even matter seb will still likely get front row

[v@sh]

No crofty he definitely went off

 

Crofty is one of the worst commentators ever, so not surprised he doesn't see it. Doesn't see a lot of things...stewards should be consistent and delete Sebs time

[TomNokoe]

Interesting to see if any teams go out straight away and manage the tow on their own.

[BuddyHolly]

Bottas going to get a tow now?

[kernel]

Ok, track limits are a farce, well done Masi.

 

VET seemed to have a tire on the line based on the FOM replay so it should be fine...

[PayasYouRace]

Looked like all four wheels were off the track to me.

[Albertino]

It's not F1 Qualifying if we don't have at least 1 controversy 

[TomNokoe]

What a joke.

It was millimetres, who cares!!! Let him have it

"Controversy" come on, it's rubbish.

It was on the line

All 4 wheels very clearly over.

[Unicast]

Guys you are making too much of a fuss over Seb's lap... common! It was obviously on the limit (a matter of mm) and he didn't gain anything really.

If I was the other teams I would take the same line as Vettel in Parabolica.

[gowebber]

Surely Vettel was all 4 wheels off then? Looked like it in the slow mo.

[Atreiu]

Is he even being investigated?

[Marklar]

All 4 wheels very clearly over.

nah

he is slightly touching it with the outside walls.

Its marginal, but its still in

Bottas' lap counting is more questionable, he clearly passed the line after the red flag was out.

[w1Y]

Bottas going to get a tow now?

He got one first but the games at the start messed it up a bit for him.

Someone's second run is gonna get ruined here and will be miss a great battle

[Tsarwash]

I would give Seb the benefit of the doubt there. It's so close. 

[Diablobb81]

So much whining.

[Claudius]

Track limits are track limits dammit! No matter if it's one meter or 1 mm.

[PayasYouRace]

Let’s wait until he fails to improve on that lap and it becomes relevant whether he actually crossed it or not.

[kernel]

Is he even being investigated?

 

I don't think they announce investigations for laptimes...

[TomNokoe]

(Vettel was slower than Hamilton S1)

Rules are rules one would think. Try to apply this reasoning in tennis when a ball is marginally out.

[Grundle]

He Must be in a red car

[barzini]

Is it really news that Merc/Ferrari have their own rules?

[kernel]

(Vettel was slower than Hamilton S1)

 

But HAM also lost 2 tenths in S3... so they both have time to gain. I suspect pole may be 19.0-19.1

[shure]

nah

Bottas' lap counting is more questionable, he clearly passed the line after the red flag was out.

He was just short of the line so would have been very harsh as he barely had time to react.  But yeah, I guess strictly accordingly to the letter of the law he might have been lucky to keep the time

[TomNokoe]

Rules are rules one would think. Try to apply this reasoning in tennis when a ball is marginally out.

But those sports are based solely around boundaries, points, etc. Formula 1 isn't.

[flickerf1]

Oh, this is going to be a mess, and someone's lap is going to be ruined.

[Celloman]

All 4 wheels very clearly over.

I thought that at first as well, but with the only two views that were provided by the broadcast, it looked to me like he always had one wheel touching the line or at least so close it's difficult to say conclusively.

[Marklar]

how long are they waiting lmao

[shure]

(Vettel was slower than Hamilton S1)

it should be noted that Seb being at the front had no tow.  I think he dropped over a tenth to Leclerc is S1 alone because of that, which would have put him on a very similar time

[TomNokoe]

Okay this is dumb

[w1Y]

merc are always disadvantaged in these situations

[ANF]

So the last cars in line will run out of time again.

[ArchieTech]

Here we go, everyone doing their best to get in each others way again...

[ANF]

Everybody will!

[TomNokoe]

Some of them aren't getting round

[kosmos]

Haha, this is ridiculous.

[Albertino]

Someone is not going to get a lap in.

[statman]

rolling start?

[Vesuvius]

They wont make a lap, not enough time???

[Laminar]

Such a stupid embarrassment 

[Heyli]

And Vettel ahead again?

[ANF]

What a joke!

[Anja]

What a farce.

[gillesfan76]

What the very heck is going on???

[ArchieTech]

All these clever people and computer simulations and this still happens
