[Fezzik]

Safety car

 

[PaMu1337]

Was it Red Bull or Williams bits?

Both, but more Yuki I think.

Safety car out, I assume for cleanup

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Ooh, Safety Car. Lucky for Piastri!

 

[Fezzik]

Ooh, Safety Car. Lucky for Piastri!

Not really. He had a 7 second lead, that’s gone.

Yes, where do they go from here. They pitted lap 17 or 18. How long do they stay on this stint and how long do they want to be on the softs? Or do they do hards and potentially suffer at the end.

 

[PaMu1337]

I think this may be poor timing for Ferrari, forcing them onto the hards.

Russell on softs, that's a risk.
Edit: And he agrees himself

Welcome back 2012 chaotic Pirelli high-deg million pitstop epic Grand Prix's!

Can those soft go to the end? Also I thought the hards were not good? Seems like it played into the hands of McLaren!

They might still hold air, but grippy?

 

[PaMu1337]

Little heart attack there seeing Russell get a transponder glitch 😅
Edit: Seems like it fully failed now

 

[Fezzik]

Max with no grip, no brakes, 2 bad stops - and still in 7th place.

 

[IforceV8]

Russel's transponder only works at SF and is freaking out T&S.

 

[PaMu1337]

Ooh backup graphics 😂

 

[GlamFM]

Norris is his own worst enemy.

 

[PaMu1337]

Was it Red Bull or Williams bits?

I think it's quite a bit of Williams actually 😅

 

[Fezzik]

Lando’s just not very good at overtaking at the moment

 

[IforceV8]

HAM has lost the edge of the hard tire.

 

[Sum1s2pid]

Bummer, Sainz out.

 

[PaMu1337]

Bummer, Sainz out.

So much potential in Williams for Fantasy F1 chassis, so few points...

 

[LumpiestFish]

Frustrated that Alpine put on Hards, Doohan has been struggling since the restart

Ferrari is the only car that the hard tire has worked on this race.

 

[Fezzik]

Both Haas in the top 10 (if Oli can hold off his buddy Kimi)

 

[PaMu1337]

Piastri will not have the drink

 

[MagpieRacer]

Must have missed what happened to Antonelli, seemed to be running well.

Must have missed what happened to Antonelli, seemed to be running well.

Think he’s done one more pit stop than the others.

Yeah checked, he’s the only 3 stopper.

Sainz drove him off track at T1 on the SC restart.

 

[Fezzik]

FINALLY

 

[ZoomingZoomer]

I believe the incident between Hulkenberg and Lawson at turn 1 was actually shown when the Kiwi received a 5 second penalty; except that was for an incident with Stroll

 

[AshenGraey]

The timing tower in this race is just garbage!

It's not the timing tower, the problem is that Russells transponder is failing
