The last curve of qualifying of Abu Dhabi Grand Prix it was a tremendous ‘party’ for all the drivers who were on the fastest lap. The reason, the same as always, seeing cars practically stopped on the track to open a gap or to cool tires. Such was the situation that Sebastian Vettel, on Aston Martin radio, ended up exploding.
Because the German did not have one or two similar experiences in said area of the track, but there were up to three times in which the four-time champion, who says goodbye to Formula 1 on this same weekend, he had to deal with traffic that was practically at zero speed on the track.
“I have met these people three times in the last corner! How is it possible!”, he radioed to his team.
He said it in reference to a Red Bull, or two Red Bulls, who he found when he was in full swing and in the middle of the fight to overcome the qualifying rounds.
And it is that there were not a few pilots who practically remained standing on the asphalt. Already not only to open a hole, but to cool some tires, soft, running out of rubber and ineffective without even closing a lap.
The image of Vettel overtaking almost stopped cars in Yas Marina, zigzagging, They were as spectacular as they were dangerous.
Luckily Seb was able to get through Q1 and Q2, and slipped into Q3 with an Aston Martin than next year will be in the hands of Fernando Alonso.
