    Tyre wall will need rebuilding as well. May as well have a full restart.

    It's a long lap here, they'll have big gaps to fix that wall. If it takes 15 mins thats only 5-6 laps under the safety car.

    Alonso should have a good race here, no need to fuel save now.

    Lewis must be soo happy. Mind you he will be in the middle of the pack. Fingers crossed a clean restart.

    Shiny new tyres for Rosberg, those who pitted now kicking themselves.

    Sets the race up quite nicely now really, everyone on equal tyres.

    Can hear everything going on in the Redbull pit wall. Fingers pointed at Seb. No doubt there will be an investigation.

    It's a safety car restart under this kind of red flag isn't it? One lap out under the SC then go?

    Probably,but racing incident overall with Seb shouldering responsibility.

    Apex camera shows clearly that even without Max, Seb had barely given Kimi enough room anyway.

    Wonder if Renault will be stealing back Ocon for the next race? kMag looks ok but that ankle is probably going to be out for a couple of weeks.

    OK so this isn't going to happen but wouldn't it be great to see Alonso on podium?

    I agree, but Vettel would have expected Kimi to be tighter on the apex /- problem is Max's overtake more or less off the track prevented it. That move would have created an accident anyway, because Max would have ended up on the opposite side of the track on exit or come to a complete stop on the apex. Anyone who had put a lid on knows this. He ****ed his start and his age showed.
