Bad enough flares make it hard to see the race, but now 2 idiots used them and stopped the session altogether.

Agree with others; heavy bans & maybe even a fine for bringing them in. At least wait til the race is over to use them.
 
I agree that this behavior has no place in f1, or any sport, and needs to be stamped out.
But how would it be enforced?
His mate will buy a ticket on a group booking. So the ticket purchase wouldn't pick it up. So unless they go down the route of checking passports on entry for anything up to 400,000 people. (forget a 2 day pass you'd need to get there 2 weeks early).
 
The flare thrower is still being detained. On what grounds, I have no idea.

Because he committed a felony, and anyone who gets arrested for a felony can be detained for six to nine hours (depending on the severity of the charges). Officially it's for interrogation, but they'll probably want to keep him just to ruin his day further.

EDIT: It should be said that he has the right to talk to a lawyer, and getting a lawyer to show up at a police station on a Saturday evening might be difficult.

He was released last night. He also turned himself in to security as he was being treated to beer showers and not so friendly reactions from the rest of the crowd. Another flare thrower was removed from the track yesterday, and both won't be there today.

And I hope "never again at any F1 track" but they probably won't go that far.
 
Good to see a zero-tolerance approach here. Let this slip once or twice and it will only get worse as idiots keep pushing the boundaries further.
 
Perez runs over a Ferrari airgun, and Ferrari were missing Sainz's left-rear wheel.... :odd:

I don't want to crap on Ferrari anymore, but they keep on doing so much stupid stuff this year.

Ferrari handing the race over to Mercedes. There's not a whole lot of action, so it looks like it will all be up to the pits and strategy.

Alonso is out on hard tires.

probably Binotto: We don't need to change anything.
