Grand Prix thread STC SAUDI ARABIAN GRAND PRIX 2021

You'd think Horner would remember the car length rule is on a SC restart as it was bought in because of RBR.

 

I think that was pretty fair tbh.

 

Only slight issue was that due to max coming back on track ocon gained position. But that's racing.

 

All sorts of craziness here.

Track is far far too narrow for f1. Too dangerous.

Verstappen was done up.like a kipper by mercedes delaying formation lap outside the distance allowed. He then falls for it and hammers off the track and does a typical gobshite move.

The stuff at the back is crazy dangerous.

Then we have the offerings.

Verstappen is on the clean side so this restart will see contact imo.

 

No, he shouldn’t be making any offers to anyone, it should have been referred back to the stewards and Verstappen penalised properly

 

It’s a grid restart not rolling restart so 10 car length doesn’t apply

 

Politics.

Still politics going on now as well I'm sure.

 

To be fair if the race had carried on max would have had opportunity to give position back, not that I think he would!

 

Ocon could go to end here on hards. What has he got on.

I reckon the clutches will be in rag order now. Third standing start

 

We are only on lap 16!

 

Someone is getting seriously hurt today imo.

 

I don't like that but agree

 

Hamilton is driving heat into hard tyres here.

 

Hamilton flat spots tyre?

Desperate for heat here

 

Thought I heard something said to Max about soft start ? Was that it ? If so are they in trouble with the clutch or playing safe in case of another red flag ?

 

Anyone know what race had most restarts?

 

Massive restart.

Verstappen will want scamper now.

Hamilton must get past ocon urgently.

 

Well, that's why he went for mediums. Surely he can't make the end on them though?

 

That was a mega start for Max.
