Fia delayed the restart an hour ago, When they decided 15 minutes restart instead of 10

Those pictures on sky. Get the wets on and get them out behind the safety car!

As I'm too lazy to do the maths, will Max be WDC if the race is cancelled and no points are awarded? How about half points?

He needs an 8 point advantage so he would need 75% running if Charles 2nd

No points will be awarded as it stands.

Anyone else seen how close Gasly was to going into the back of the tractor under the SC? Could have been real nasty.

Nah, got a clip?
Mods: don't know if allowed, please delete if not.

Yikes!

*rubs head*

Why 15 minutes warning when only 10 is required.

Good_Year

Any news? I know they forecast heavy rain for 10 mins but that was about 15 minutes ago.

Make them put full wets on and do a few laps behind SC

Edit Oooh jenson agrees me

Good_Year

They haven’t done 2 laps racing just to justify half points have they?

Good_Year

Morning/afternoon/evening all.

McLaren humbled by Alpine........ Mercedes o the backfoot.... Vettel keeping Stroll in his shade.... Latifi being consistently 20th & cementing 20th even with the 5 place grid penalty....... It's a guess from me based on what we saw the last two days but i believe Mercedes have gambled for rain wit...

Good_Year

might be another wet one Maybe this belongs in the Singapore thread but whatever. I was thinking about the wet start and how essentially we lost wet racing and had inters and then dry. If they had been allowed a wet start and then we would have had cars on full wets, with no dry line appearing, mor...

Good_Year

DannyRic and Bottas on softs. Agressive strategy in hope of another SC? They should come up to temp much quicker as well. Could be a masterstroke. It was difficult for max to overtake a car with half a front wing so if he jumps anyone at the restart it could be a position for the rest of the race.

Good_Year

God This sport makes my brain hurt sometimes.

Good_Year

I'm thinking back to Monaco, rather than safety (which is more of a concern here because I know Singapore can have "Day after tomorrow" rain) is there actually FIA worries that teams will blame them for damage incurred in wet conditions, hence they play it very conservatively.

Good_Year

Delaying the race by an hour is absurd In this 1 hour, heavier rain can arrive spoiling the party. Sky seem to think that the 3 hour limit has started as well. Bizarre decision to not be sending cars to the grid now and it will likely cost us racing. Does lap 45 or 46 constitute 75%? We should make...

Good_Year

RBR deserve the book thrown at them for going over the budget. I doubt they'll touch last year's contravertial results but a points reduction this year will make it seem like they've done something without affecting the championship.... Worst case they may be able to make this year's title look com...

Did Red Bull poach some of the Ferrari pitwall?

If they were marginal with fuel, its the right call, FIA don't even take into account any potential leaks, 1 Litre or back of the grid.

Good_Year

Well maybe we at least now know why Horner was pushing so hard for an increase in this years budget cap. Could their 2022 budget report be gruesome reading too ? I wonder if there was strategic thinking there. If 2022 had more wriggle room Budget wise (and TBH It probably should have given how it i...

Good_Year

Red Bull gain 2 Drivers Championships and a constructor championship from flouting the budget cap, a price worth paying if the punishment is only financial, a fine won't do, you saw what fuel flow manipulation did to Ferrari, Reduce the wind tunnel time for RBR I say. IF the have broken the rules. I...

Good_Year

To be honest, I think you've been very generous to Irvine, RE: Monaco 96 and Jerez 97, I don't want to get into a debate about how "well he didn't crash into a wall/competitor so technically Irvine did a better job getting from lights to flag" but that's just my opinion, thanks for doing the legwork...

Good_Year

Hungary --> Break --> Belgium should be the correct order, I am a grumpy old man and I will refuse to move off this hill.

Good_Year

I am saying if it were being driven by Perez and Stroll for instance the Ferraris would look like a better car which shows that Verstappen is making the difference. The two biggest case studies IMO both involve Massa: just how good were F2007 and F2008 compared to the MP4-22 and MP4-23 and how good...

Good_Year

They did hesitate with the safety car decision again, enough time for max and Charles to pass the Pit so at least 17 seconds. I don’t think it’s easy as “oh car stopped let’s throw out the SC”. I’m sure there is an assessment done of what is needed to clear the car. If DR’s car was not stuck in gea...

Poor Danny Ric, another kick to the scrotum.

Good_Year

I think 4 because 3 for the whole season just seems unfeasible when you consider the Mileage (or Kilometers) involved. I know Mercedes have done really well this year (Hamilton crash damage aside) with their allocation but even their customers have taken penalties. 4 is fair I feel, however, I agree...

Good_Year

In my opinion Grid Penalties that exceed the grid limit (I.E. 20 places) should carry over to next race until satisfied, There also should be a free fourth engine if the team can demonstrate that the allocation was exceeded by an accident rather than wear and tear. OR We need to go back to four engi...

Good_Year

Again was there much evidence of Renault during crashgate initially or enough motivation for them to fix a race? People were suspicious right from the start, but you're correct that quite a few people dismissed the possibility for a variety of reasons -- not least of which was the idea that it woul...

Good_Year

There were some odd/bad decisions made by Alpha Tauri but I just don't see the evidence, level of motivation or organisation to challenge what, while an undoubted ****show, was a fairly plausible series of events: - Tsunoda exits the pit. - He feels what he thinks is a loose wheel - Pit wall tell h...

Good_Year

Would be a good case of nostalgia.

However mclaren would probably screw it up by having a car too small to fit the engine

Good_Year

If there is a RB/AT conspiracy brewing then I’d like to say I was suspicious at Baku 21 and gasly’s pitstop

I can’t believe there is manipulation it would crush what little faith I have in the integrity of the sport

Good_Year

Also I think much like the undertaker the streak is over, this was the last “power limited” track (as much sense as that makes)

Good_Year

certainly GR looked after #1 (himself not max) however given how this year is a development year surely Mercedes would want to be part of Hamilton keeping his streak alive, it’s not as if they are going to achieve much else this season.

Edit first line has been dealt with so removed

Are you taking suggestions for the "revisited" series?
I am open to them, yes!

Not sure if already done but Montoya Vs Ralf 01-03 (2004 Ralf had the accident and was injured for a large chunk)

Even if it didn't end up working out in the end.
I'm completing the set by Thursday and we shall see what the Hill-Villeneuve-Frentzen-Hill triad reveals about all three drivers.

The TREES! that's what missing!

I assume to compensate for the chateau being removed we will have people on the bank on the left.

Good_Year

Apparently the teams had discussed that finishing under the safety car is bad, but I assume that is just ‘try get the marshalls to do their job quicker’ rather than not follow the rules. Of course, the race could have ended under green racing conditions without rules not being followed, had no cars...

Good_Year

I see they’ve put gravel round the outside of la source.

Not quite sure about that you could end up there through no fault of your own on lap 1

Good_Year

No I haven’t read the 2020/21 sporting regs and I won’t be reading them but it’s pretty clear some of those examples the RD just got it plain wrong and risked peoples safety. Then I suggest that you do read them, as some of the things you blame on Mr Masi, were not his responsibility. Without furth...

Good_Year

and because it was the latest in a number of incidents involving Grosjean. A point you seem reluctant to mention. The stewards themselves conceded that Grosjean’s penalty was so harsh because he took out the title contenders. Hamilton vs Verstappen Silverstone 2021 was a unique case where a harsher...

Good_Year

I am probably repeating myself from grumpy old men and driving standard thread. But 2021 showed us that for the key players the show was more important than the integrity of the sport and I feel that was disastrous, I don’t blame max for all of it, he is just the current best driver. For example the...
