Formula 1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2021Formula 1

[NotThePrez]

Left-rear failure. Seems to be a repeat of what happened to Stroll.

 

[McLaren]

I think Pirelli gonna have to answer for that after the commentators said Pirelli originally had no worries after Stroll’s failure.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Could be huge moment in this Championship...

 

[PeterJB]

Championship over.

 

[Grayfox]

Will Perez now pit as 2 tire failures.

 

[Blitz24]

So is the rule we don't trust Pirelli with their word again?

 

[TenEightyOne]

Two punctures now?! Perelli has some explaining to do. Vettel to P3!

Depends. If there's debris in a particular place then all the cars might have had a chance of getting damage. The teams are saying the hards that they've taken off don't look unusually worn. There'll certainly be quite the investigation though I'm sure.

 

[Skygrasper550]

Looks like the same failure that Stroll had. Damn that is painful >_<

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Perez now leads!

 

[NotThePrez]

Well, I wanted Vettel on the podium, but not quite like that.

Pirelli's not gonna be popular in the paddock this week.

 

[PaMu1337]

Will we have a restart though?

 

[AshenGraey]

Whoa......everyone is going to jump in the pits after that!!

 

[Blitz24]

Will we have a restart though?

3 laps? I think they might have a one lap sprint at best.

 

[Demon Drone]

Anyone else getting tried (pun not intended) of Pirelli's crap? How many times has this happened now? I miss tyre competition.

 

[Touring Mars]

Red flag.

Why?? Are they seriously going to restart the race...?

 

[andrea]

Hamilton, luckiest man alive

 

[MUSC4EVER]

RED FLAG!

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

That's crazy. I would hope Pirelli tires wouldn't fail like that without enough wear.

Red flag

 

[Grayfox]

does max have a chance?

Red flag, so 2 laps prior

 

[TenEightyOne]

No restart now, surely?

 

[NotThePrez]

A red flag now? With the additional safety car laps, they might as well end the race at this point.

 

[Famine]

Three-lap sprint or calling it finished? Kinda want the latter, just for Perez to win it, but the former would be mental and hilarious.

 

[BrainsBush]

End of race? Bummer to end it like this. Perez P1 that's at least something positive

disappointment in one picture:

 

[Kingofweasles]

Would the race be called at this point? Because the race distance minimum has been met and throwing a Red Flag only to restart the race with three laps to go smacks of NASCAR gimmicks from me.

 

[Touring Mars]

Commentators saying that Verstappen could still win if the race doesn't restart...

-

Looks like the race may have been red-flagged because the race director has deemed the Pirelli Hard tyres to be too dangerous to continue on...

 

[Skygrasper550]

Weird position to restart the race at this point, only 2 laps remaining.

 

[AshenGraey]

Are they going to restart this for just 3 laps??

 

[Roo]

If they were to restart, the cars could all restart on fresh tyres, which may be race control's thinking.

 

[McLaren]

Wouldn’t mind if they just ended it. Perez and Vettel put in the work to finish where they are if it ends now.

 

[PaMu1337]

I think if race does not continue, it's a win for Max. I doubt FIA wants that tbh.
Wouldn't be surprised if they do a 2 lap shootout
