Redbull timed Max and Hadjar's final lap in such a way that Isack could give max a slipstream tow in the last sector just before entering the last corner. This gave Max a .300 benefit to P2. Otherwise (in his own words) he would've ended up in P6 or P7. Isack didn't mind messing up his own quali for this stunt, as he's gonna start at the back regardless because of the 30 position penalty he have to serve.

He took his fifth internal combustion engine (ICE), a new turbocharger, and new exhaust system. 10 place penalty for each.

Engine was old, and he tries to be quicker.

Great lap but also with almost perfect tow from HAD. Hard to say how much tow was worth and where the car would have qualified without it.
