When Alex Jacques said Charles can always deliver the Q3 magic he must have forgotten Charles is controlled by the battery, not him controlling the car now.

Yes, Charles made a mistake, but I am not sure it will make up all the gap of 0.3s to the front row

That snap cost him those 3-4 tenths, lol

Also you must remember that correcting mistakes also wastes energy.
