In Q1 all drivers push themselves to the limit to get the best time possible. Having twenty drivers out on track can create problems for others, and that’s exactly what happened in Jeddah on Saturday. Vettel was knocked out, and blamed Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon for creating a “mess” in the quali session.
As quoted from Motorsport. total.com, Vettel said, “By not staying in line. Everyone panics and overtakes. This never changes as long as everyone thinks they have priority. We can talk about it so often [in the driver’s meeting]. If everyone does it differently again, it won’t help.” (Translated from German via Google)
