F1 2021 Season

Traffic is going to be an issue for qualifying tomorrow

I dont see many passing places on the track, qualifying will be interesting.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

This is going to be a race won in Q3.
Get pole and stay out of trouble, get the pits right and strategy, it will be an easy win.

Just looked up in the bar and seen a destroyed Ferrari, who is it and are they ok?

Leclerc and yes, he seems to be ok.

Busy night ahead for the ferrari mechanics

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Looked like a heavy crash glad he is OK.
Ferrari garage in for a busy night.

Hamilton summoned to the stewards...

 

[The Firestarter]

I hate walled up tracks like this. Every crash would be a red flag.

 

[17Larsson]

Hamilton summoned to the stewards...

He's been summoned twice.
He's definitely getting some grid place penalties

 

[Cheimoon]

He's been summoned twice.
He's definitely getting some grid place penalties

What for?

It's for double yellow ,so 5 place grid drop will be coming his way, if that puts max on poll, WC could be all but over.

 

[christy87]

What for?

Speeding under double yellows

 

[ChaddyP]

What for?

double yellow flag ignore and impeding...wait for it............Mazepin

The BBC were quoting Masi as saying there were no flags earlier.

Grid penalties will be a damp squib ending to the season.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Minimum 5 place grid drop, same as Max.

Practice not quali though, but I bet they wouldn't drop it to 3 places like Vettel got in practice apparently.

Believe that was in relation to the Mazepin incident, Hamilton should have got a blue flag telling him there was a car on a hot lap behind but didn't so wouldn't have known Mazepin was on a hot lap. Guessing the team might get a fine for not warning him but as it's practice not quali, shouldn't be a penalty. There were definitely yellows earlier on, believe it was Verstappen driving slowly that caused them for extra absurdity.

After giving 5 to Max do they have a choice ?if they don't give 5, there will be cries of fix, already seen FB posts saying it.

 

[Fully Fledged]

The yellow flag is over before he gets to it. He's also on a warm up lap so isn't go all out.

The flag was visible for 1 second. I think that must have played a part in the decision.

 

[LordNinio]

No further action

 

[Mickeza]

After seeing it on sky I’m amazed he even got summoned!

 

[The Cat]

Is the second charge still live?

 

[LordNinio]

After seeing it on sky I’m amazed he even got summoned!

I think it's auto summoned because he was in the sector

 

[Fluctuation0161]

Christian Horner has probably been crying to the stewards.

 

[LordNinio]

Is the second charge still live?

Yeah

 

[Fully Fledged]

They've ruined Hamilton's preparation for qualification for a non-incident. Disgraceful.

 

[Mickeza]

Ah yes - that would make sense.

 

[Jippy]

It seems stupid if the marshal's system was triggered accidentally for one second. Why couldn't they deal with that after quali?

 

[Jippy]

The bbc are worse than the sun, heading the FIA's tweet on Ham's summons being feck all- 'A breach of the regulations'

 

[Fully Fledged]

Why couldn't they see that before he was called. It should only take a minute for them to see it was a mistake and disregard it. Impleading during a practice session is normally a fine as well so that could have been dealt with after practice.

 

[christy87]

There will be a red flag tomorrow, this circuit is ridiculous

 

[The Cat]

Looks so narrow and walls everywhere to me.

 

[Fully Fledged]

Far too many blind corners. It's an accident waiting to happen.

 

[Leg-End]

This circuit has big accident written all over it

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Glad no penalty.
Still say this race will be won in Q3
Pole, good start and good pits, should be a winning position.

 

[The Firestarter]

Ridiculously close driving to the walls . Unreal reactions by some of the drivers.

Full race distance... worn out tyres... people trying overtakes
Can see there being several safety cars tomorrow

 

[senorgregster]

Sounds like Hamilton dodged a couple bullets there? Track us awful. How many SCs?
