@Dennisch @PaMu1337 Now look what you've done!

Still in the points!

 

[phillgt2002]

If Forza had red flags, this is what it would be like.

 

[FoRiZon]

Wait why the Red Flag?

 

[PaMu1337]

Wait why the Red Flag?

Tire barrier repair probably

 

[Lateralus5813]

Hadn't he lost something in his car some laps before the accident?

 

[PeterJB]

When was the last time we had two red flags in one race?

 

[Spirit]

Hamilton didn't pit initially and Bottas had the chance to be behind him on fresh tires. Due to the Safety Car picking up the wrong Mercedes, Hamiltons’s now had the chance to cover and still keep the lead. Bad luck for Bottas. Now we are red flagged.

 

[Samus]

Tire barrier repair probably

Yup, same as Monza.

 

[PaMu1337]

Hadn't he lost something in his car some laps before the accident?

I think that was Perez

 

[Touring Mars]

A third standing start on the way... can Bottas snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!?

 

[Roo]

5 laps until 75% distance completed for full points.

Edit: nope, we're already there - I read the lap counter as 40.

 

[PaMu1337]

At this rate we'll have less races than a usual F1 season, but more starts

And we're one step closer

"So lads, how was your vacation to Tuscany? I heard there was some kind of annivers-"

Most of the Grid: "NEVER AGAIN"

Hamilton/Bottas: "It was...ok."

Ricciardo: "I got a new tattoo!"

I acknowledge this post is a bit presumptuous, but I'm pretty confident nobody was expecting this race to be this bizarre.

Aaaaand Stroll's car is on fire.

 

[FoRiZon]

Tire barrier repair probably

Well that's...quite a minor reason.


Also holy crap its on fire.

 

[Samus]

AFAIK standing start is an option, not absolutely guaranteed.

 

[phillgt2002]

The marshals are more entertaining than the race lol

 

[Veinz]

That was a big one, glad he's ok. I was watching his onboard when that happened, his car just snapped out of nowhere. He sounded really winded and blamed the puncture right away.

 

[Blitz24]

When was the last time we had two red flags in one race?

2014 Japanese Grand Prix.

The OTHER Japanese Grand Prix. You know, the one that was in 2016 in Brazil.

 

[andrea]

Mercedes and Ferrari only teams with both cars left.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Honestly I feel as though this didn’t need a red flag. The belt for the tyres has come undone, but the tyres all looks intact and relatively in place. Shouldn’t take too long to repair.

This recovery job for Stroll’s car is messy.

 

[PaMu1337]

Well that's...quite a minor reason.

You don't want anyone having a similar crash into a damaged barrier

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

5 laps until 75% distance completed for full points.

Isn't it past already?

A third standing start on the way... can Bottas snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!?

Pressure is on. He could also lose places.

 

[Ether]

Smoking point

 

[PeterJB]

While we wait for the restart, FREC at Spielberg is being streamed on Facebook...

 

[DesertPenguin]

2014 Japanese Grand Prix.

R.I.P. Jules

 

[girabyt3]

... Looks like Mugello is killing everyone in favor of Ferrari

 

[AshenGraey]

I hope Russel will finally get a point!

 

[Samus]

Well that's...quite a minor reason.

Not really, if someone else goes off in the same place they need the same original protection.

If they're not fully tied together someone could go under them.

 

[Frank McGank]

As interesting as that may be, people prefer to see overtakes happen on track and not in the pits.

It’s more an idea based on showcasing the capabilities of the pit crew in addition to the driver, and adding a bit of unpredictability as well. As it stands, a good vs bad pit stop is judged by a few tenths of a second. Imagine how it’d be if it was by a few seconds. Some teams might be better at it than others, because it requires a significant level of individual coordination and athleticism. Probably would have to have legitimate athletes doing it. Could even make a show of it by giving the pit crew members’ names and interviews and the like.

 

[Dotini]

Enzo's revenge.
