So they can't continue now. So that means a rollback to the previous lap, right?

 

[Jimlaad43]

Well that was a waste of time

 

[MagpieRacer]

Well that was a waste of time

Yeah who wants to see racing drivers absolutely going for it. Bore off.

Yes, that's how it should be - the last known order.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

We went NASCAR racing.

 

[Spacegoat]

Piastri in the points. Stop the count!

 

[05XR8]

Alonso, man…

2 lap sprint that is only there for a crash? That's not racing or entertainment

Funnily enough I don't think they plan crashes. Sport is entertainment, it exists as an entertainment format. Sounds to me like you should go and watch traffic out the window.

McLaren p1 in @Famine's FACC, Alfa p2

 

[Jimlaad43]

So, if Sainz gets a penalty for spinning Fernando, Hulken Podium?

 

[Grayfox]

Yes, that's how it should be - the last known order.

I hope so.
Would be nice for Lonso to keep 3rd.

 

[Jezza819]

Alonso right away asking about the Silvertone Rule.

 

[PaMu1337]

There's 2 things they can do now: call it a day and you have a rollback to previous order, or you end the red flag and do a SC lap to finish

 

[NotThePrez]

I don't see how a restart can even realistically happen, unless they add laps to the race.

Which, as a NASCAR fan, please no.

The rules do not allow that, not that they have let the rules stop them in the past.

Race decided in court then?

 

[NotThePrez]

The rules do not allow that, not that they have let the rules stop them in the past

I'm aware, and the latter half of that sentence is exactly what I'm worried about.

They will complete lap 58 behind the safety car to complete the race and this is the finish order.

 

[Akwaaba]

They will do one final lap under the safety car.
The question is which order they start the cars in, and that will depend on if Max completed the first sector before the red flag

 

[Jimlaad43]

Yeah, they'd need to do the lap so they have official finish timings so any penalties can be applied.

 

[Grayfox]

Order as they were minus cars that are out.

 

[MagpieRacer]

 

[Jimlaad43]

 

[NotThePrez]

Race is going to be restarted.

 

[C-ZETA]

Michael Masi has broken into race control this weekend, it seems.

 

[PaMu1337]

I'm pretty sure the results are not gonna be final for a few days

 

[MagpieRacer]

The tweet above literally confirmed it.

 

[Dylan]

This whole thing is hilarious with the hindsight that this clown show could have been avoided if the race just ended under yellow like it should have.

 

[NotThePrez]

I'm pretty sure the results are not gonna be final for a few days

And that's right before the nearly month-long break between now and Baku, no less.
