I DO NOT like how long they wait to throw safety cars.

They really like to play with fire don't they?

 

[FUNanywhere]

Come on Vettel

Perez was walking on the track before they called it.

 

[PaMu1337]

Leclerc sounds a bit angry at Vettels undercut

 

[Liquid]

Amazing shade from Leclerc. The seeds of discontent have been sown.

 

[Dylan]

Perez was walking on the track before they called it.

And previous one, Russel was standing in his cockpit with cars flying by before they called it. It's unacceptable.

 

[PaMu1337]

Kvyat and Kimi crash!

 

[PzR Slim]

What a terrible race this has been.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Another Safety Car for sure wit that one

 

[PaMu1337]

And another SC, time will be tight

 

[Demon Drone]

The quality of driving this year as a whole has been quite poor.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

Torpedo has struck again

 

[DesertPenguin]

Amazing shade from Leclerc. The seeds of discontent have been sown.

I'd rather Vettel win one race and bring back his composure so he can help Leclerc get higher in the championship overall

 

[Slapped]

My prediction - the Safety Car has best chance of winning.

I'd rather not see a team shaft the driver in P1 for no obvious reason. Whatever team it is and whoever the other driver is.

 

[FUNanywhere]

Vettel schooled Leclerc at the restart

 

[DesertPenguin]

I don't understand this when they go back to green. Shouldn't it have to be on the main straight so everyone has an even chance? Going green mid-corner with everyone else in a weird spot on track really messes with everyone. Sure it's green and you can put your foot down, but that might not be what you need depending on where you are on track. The guy in front of you is that much further out of a turn and can just floor it while you're still navigating mid-turn. Not fair.

The leading driver decides when to go, not race control.

Restarts in F1 have always been a joke.

Why?

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

That's my driver of the day.

 

[Dylan]

Leclerc given extra speed mode.

 

[PaMu1337]

Why?

Basically, when the SC lights go out, the leader determines the speed, he has to wait long enough to not overtake the SC. Overtaking is not allowed until a certain line on the track.

Its mostly to give the time for the SC to get off track, and still have the cars at speed on the start/finish line.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Why?

Because they have to give the SC time to get to the pits, when they put their foot down is up to them. Nobody can pass another car until they've reached the SC line anyway.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Still makes no sense. Other racing series do it just fine. Safety Car turns lights off, pulls into pits, field gathers on main straight and leader goes Green.

What is this about giving the SC time to get to the pits? Can't visualize what you mean.

Indycar is does it similar to F1. So does IMSA. NASCAR is the only one that I can think of off the top of my head that restarts just before the start/finish line.

 

[Demon Drone]

Mercedes not on the podium.

 

[HenrySwanson]

Sucks for Leclerc

 

[Dreadmed]

Mercedes not on the podium.

Seems like yesterday that people were discussing if Merc would win/make the podium in every race.
