F1 2022

Instead of safety car they should all sit in pitlane to save fuel and then rolling restart. F1 is an entertainment product ffs

If I remember correctly, Ted was nearly on the out at Sky a couple of years ago.

From memory, it was new management that came in and s**t canned Ted. After a bit the rest of the Sky F1 crew pretty much demanded he was reinstated or a large chunk of them would walk.

Well that’s what Reddit told me anyway

Nyck just seems like a quality dude and instantly likeable...which I haven't said about any new driver in ages.

"Usually all cars, sometimes some" actually hilarious

What about “we learnt that race directors have to follow the regulations” fair dinkum * off!

 

[Magma]

so you should only bring out red flags for drivers stopping at the end but if it happens midway it doesnt?

this is such a bizarre argument

The issue Abu Dhabi raised was that F1 has no good way to actually deal with an incident that triggers a SC that occurs in the last few laps.

Instead everyone's focus was on whether Masi did or did not do his job in a sport where the job remits don't align with the conflicting procedures.

Just find a better way. Whether it's to throw a red flag or whether it's to get a SC but to allow all cars to unlap themselves. Maybe it's something else but finishing under the SC is ******* s**t. Period. That isn't what a 21st century audience wants.

I do not understand how those 2 cars between Verstappen and Leclerc couldn't be released? Or better yet why cos every campaigner need to unlap by going ahead of the SC? Why does Russell need to go ahead? Cars give back positions, why could he and other cars not just slow down until they are in position.

We could've got 1 or 2 laps in.

Goes against the argument they made about Abu Dhabi about how the rules should be the rules and not changed to manufacture a race

 

[gaskin]

HAHAHAHA Crofty still going on about the safety car.

 

[Magma]

and the reason why one was a vsc was because vettel stopped near an opening and danny ric didnt and they couldnt easily move his car.

should they not be aware of this by now? very unprofessional

 

[BIRDBRAIN]

Well deserved win Max. And a great debut by DeV, Latifi is the GOAT but maybe he should take the rest of the year off..

 

[largebus]

Why not go the NASCAR route and add a final lap for a late SC?

 

[DamoESP]

Look, we know the FIA couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery (how they apply grid penalties is currently against how the rules are written as another example), so not sure what people are expecting

 

[DamoESP]

* me, Sky are playing the whining British campaigner stereotype perfectly to a T right now

So normal day?

 

[happy_eagle]

So if you brought in an "automatic red" rule for the end of races, at what point to do put it
5 laps ?

I wouldn't be against that, but wouldn't do a standing start on the restart.

Would be carnage on the first turn of the restart for starters. Safety car is basically at the lowest limit of speed to maintain tyre temperature window

 

[Magma]

but really as well, how many races actually end under safety car? i'd much rather they do something about the ridiculous grid penalties before addressing something that barely happens

 

[my name was taken]

I dont think there should be special rules for the end of the race, if they start doing that the next question raised will just be "why can't they do that for the whole race" it just needs a consistent rule for the whole race.

 

[Chuckie357]

What’s that cringey necklace the female presenter has on, the F1 logo

 

[Chuckie357]

The rules get followed as they should and people lose their minds

 

[gaskin]

Binnotto saying in the discussions after last season the safety car was supposed to come in sooner this season so the race shouldn't have ended under the safety car.

Yeah some idiot left their car on the side of the road stuck in gear

 

[Football Smith]

No Mikey that was so not right

 

[BomberFan355]

I don’t know why they need to have a standing start if they did call a late red flag, should be a rolling start.

 

[BomberFan355]

Ted STILL sooking.
