Hydroplaned.Just baffling. It was a full safety car. How did he manage that?
The complaints rightfully crop up every time this happens.I hope they will change the rule about changing tires under red flag conditions.
And just like that he will be the driver champ next month. Lando is running out of races to catch up.Max got screwed in quali, but gets handed a win now.
It all levels out.

The problem is if a crash happens and cars behind have to drive through debris, you can't then send cars back out for a restart with tyres full of carbon shards.The complaints rightfully crop up every time this happens.
If you change tires, you go to the back of the grid.The problem is if a crash happens and cars behind have to drive through debris, you can't then send cars back out for a restart with tyres full of carbon shards.
Yes, disqualified for outside assistance. The marshals lifted his car to clear the drain he got stuck on.Am I right in understanding that Hulkenberg has been DSQ'd for outside interference because a marshal helped his car clear a drain cover?
Or at a minimum, absolutely no changes to the car. It can be turned off and turned back on, that's it.If you change tires, you go to the back of the grid.
I agree.Or at a minimum, absolutely no changes to the car. It can be turned off and turned back on, that's it.
Nah because then someone else's crash becomes your problem.I agree.
Your car resumes the race the way it was when race was red flagged.
Issue is if you have damage or a flat, due to it being a safety issue, you start at back of grid.
Or red flags reset positions back to when conditions started, not just when red fag falls. There are fair solutions. Right now it's nonsensically rewarding those often the furthest back and punishing those with the most to lose.Nah because then someone else's crash becomes your problem.
There isn't a sensible solution that works for all eventualities other than allowing tyre changes.
If your options are to go to the back of the grid or risk crashing from a debris-induced puncture on the restart when the cars are bunched up around you, just because the crash happened to be between you and the pitlane, that's just as unfair as the current situation but with added danger when no-one wants to change tyres to avoid losing trwck position.If you change tires, you go to the back of the grid.
Maybe he won't need it :Hopefully Ocon makes that the widest Alpine ever made.
