Wow!
I had to watch a few times before i saw it.

And now they’ve delayed the restart…

Yeah, which is terrifying! There’s another longer video on Twitter somewhere with team audio. He wasn’t very happy, nor should he be. It’s dangerous as hell, not only for the drivers but the recovery guys too!

Oh yeah defo!

Getting more and more of a feeling that this is going to a very short race

I’m tempted to just go back to sleep :rofl:

I am getting Spa 2021 vibes and wishing I was still in bed.

Just seen the coverage on Gasly and the tractor and it seems there might be a bit more to, Gasly going quicker than he maybe should have and the team maybe not feeding him information on the radio

Here’s the trick, I never left bed :rofl: Well, got up for a snack and drink, but watching from bed!

Yeah, possibly. Albeit I don’t think he was actually going that fast, just looks it because of the spray. He had also just pitted and put the full wets on, so would have had very good grip.

I think I’m most amazed this tractor recovery thing wasn’t covered in flashing lights to make it more obvious!

Also now they’re saying he actually passed whilst it was red flagged. It got flagged about a second before he passed, which isn’t really enough time to change anything.

Well that would have been the ideal scenario.

Yeah, I think there’s a bit a blame both ways on this one.

100% this should have been flashing beacons.

Gasly has been summoned to the Stewards too now for a “Red Flag Incident”

Wakey wakey @JoeBloggs nearly time to try again

Slam dunk penalty

Congrats to Max, I think this has been coming for over the half the season.

Crazy advantage of 28s today.

Yeah Charles was never going to get away with that.

Aye, he won with a clear margin. However the confusion amongst everyone was amusing with even Max adamant he hadn’t won yet.

The rules are clear, full points unless the race as abandoned under red flag like Spa was.

Sky have presented it poorly the last 2 races.

It wasn’t just Sky, all the pundits and half the teams didn’t know either.

I think everyone was focusing on the race distance element, rather than that being if it wasn’t resumed after the Red Flag

Err, I guess the disadvantage of staying in bed to watch is that it’s easy to fall asleep again. Fell asleep after the red flag and just woke up :grimacing::sweat_smile:

I’m going to blame being ill.

Having a tractor out was ridiculous, especially when you consider it was Suzuka, you would think they would’ve learnt that lesson before.

Few engine penalties this weekend, reckon Red Bull will take the constructors this weekend too?

I think they will, don’t ferrari need to beat them by 19 points to stop them or something?

Something like that,
Leclerc has a 10 place grid penalty and Perez has 5.
I can’t see Sainz keeping the lead much after the start with Max behind. Hopefully the Mercs behind can put the pressure on.

I don’t know if it’s just me but the extra presenter Sky Sports bring in for the American races is just pointless

Danica Patrick

She seems to just repeat the same point one of the others have made and never really answers the questions or has an opinion.
