That VSC was pathetic from Sai, Ham, Nor and Very. Another example of why a speed limited FCY is infinitely safer and easier than the VSC.

Rules need to change so Safety Cars stop being treated as strategic by teams and drivers, and we go back them being there for Safety.

Only F1 could take something as simple as a VSC and make it a overly complicated mess.

 

[PaMu1337]

Both Max and Lewis getting side by side. Does the rule for a full SC (cannot be alongside) apply to VSC, anyone know?

I don't think it does. In Max' case it's a bit of a special case anyway as Norris just slammed the brakes in a dangerous way (Max also shouldn't have been accelerating that much yet, though)

Hamilton just bonked into the wall.

 

[Famine]

Hamilwhoops.

Also lol, he's now on the same bit of track as...

 

[PaMu1337]

That looks like very little damage for such a hit

 

[Jimlaad43]

Hamilton bottles it!!!

 

[IforceV8]

Crossover time has been reached.

 

[PaMu1337]

That's dangerous to not get that car in

 

[Blitz24]

Time for Ferrari to make it or break it. Hamilton might need to pit immediately.

Soundtrack to the race:

 

[Jimlaad43]

Yeah Lewis has to box now

 

[Jubby]

Why no FIA action on Hamilton at this point? They gave Kmag the meatball for less.

Edit- irrelevant since he pit now.

KMags meatball was also quite late

 

[Blitz24]

Ferrari broke it with that stop.

Soundtrack to the race:

 

[PaMu1337]

Looks like Leclerc slightly overshot on his stop, and that caused the slowdown

 

[Blitz24]

Tsunoda has said hello to the wall.

 

[Veinz]

another sc coming lol

 

[Jubby]

This changes everything, now. Sorry, Yuki.

 

[Zorz]

I wouldn't want to be Tsunoda later, bringing out a safety car right after Verstappen had his pit stop to try undercut Norris.

 

[PaMu1337]

Looked to brake way too late

 

[Jimlaad43]

An entire grid of cold slicks for this restart. Will we get another SC within a few laps then?

 

[Skygrasper550]

Damn, this is becoming a race of attrition at this point. 6 cars already out, and it has only just passed the halfway mark.

All slicks though, with puddles still littered all over the track. Danny Ric chose the softs, might have better luck warming them up as opposed to the mediums.

 

[McLaren]

Looks like we’re on a timer to the end now.

They like to wait for their on track marshall to complain.

 

[PaMu1337]

Looks like we’re on a timer to the end now.

We've been on a timer since the start basically. There was no way the laps were gonna be made. We'll end in the low 50s.

 

[PaMu1337]

Kudos for the quick barrier repair there

 

[Touring Mars]

Bernd Maylander has probably done more laps than Latifi and Zhou combined...
