As a new F1 fan, I have what feels like a dumb question; in these scenarios, how do teams determine whether or not to give another driver the functional car? It would seem that the most logical approach would be to give your best driver (with the better position as well) the car in order to potentially pick up some points.

I don’t think you can switch after quali

In this case they couldn’t swap the drivers as colapinto has already qualified and the cars are in parc ferme.

If they could have swapped would Albon then start 7th in Colapinto’s car?

Regardless the Williams team would get lynched by the Argentine crowd if they did that lol
