Winward Mercedes-AMG locks Abu Dhabi pole—red flag nearly cost it all
"GT3 grids are so compressed now that one red flag can shuffle the entire field—Winward made it count, but it's a reminder that pole in a 6-hour means nothing if you don't have fuel strategy and tire management dialed."
— Revvly Take
Winward's Mercedes-AMG GT3 grabbed the 6H Abu Dhabi front row in qualifying, but Q3 got spicy when a red flag nearly killed the session. Technical detail: tire warm-up strategy in the final push mattered more than raw pace. This is endurance racing where qualifying setup is half the battle.
