In qualifying for Sunday's Miami Grand Prix, Max Verstappen momentarily lost control of his Red Bull Formula 1 car between Turns 5 and 7. | Sport24news
With qualifying broken down into three sessions - the final Q3 only 12 minutes long - teams and drivers don't have much time to play around with. Therefore, every second they spend on the track must be exploited for the maximum benefit.
See, when you set an initial time on the board, a banker lap, you at least have the surety of that. Should things go awry, as they did in Miami, your time could put you in good stead for a strong starting position, as it did with Perez.Of course, teams don't fuel the cars too heavily, making them as light as possible to set the quickest possible time. Hence, Verstappen did not have enough fuel for a second lap and to still return to the pits.
