Me, half a world away... I feel the airbag deployed.
Nothing else makes sense in light of Quart's reactions.
Statements about non-deployment are happy-talk to protect sales, IMO.
The reason for the deployment, I will give you, is comes more from respect at Quartararo's riding skill -
He had just been passed by Zarco, while racing on fried tires, and pushed it so hard into Turn One, maybe sliding both ends in a curving drift, that the suit felt for sure a crash was not just imminent, but actually happening.
First three seconds for not dropping behind the
following rider upon re-entering the track.
Second three seconds as a kind gesture for not getting DQ'ed for dropping a plastic cookie sheet on the racing line.
Seeing
THAT freaked me out.

Supports splitting everywhere.
