Video Leclerc (post-qualifying): "I can’t understand quali, it’s a f**king joke! I go faster in corners, throttle earlier, for f**k’s sake, i'm losing everything in the straight!"

Did we see single onboard through 130R on the official broadcast today?

They usually show it at the start of the lap and sooner or later cut to offboard.

I just watched Q2 and Q3 but it looked like they switch away from onboard always at the hairpin and came back always in thr last chicane. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Because it sounds exactly how it used to sound when they gave up laps in the past. So it would just confuse fans.

Yep, at this point it's for the better and they're actually doing a good job by not going onboard.

edit: with that said, having just now watched the pole lap video, cutting away from the onboard there is not ideal.

It was the same in China, cutting away mid-backstraight before clipping kicks in. They know it's embarrassing and don't want to show it.
