F1 2020 :Round 8 Monza

Alpha Tauri made a mistake , they should have left Kyvat out on his hard tires for the first safety car , they would have had both him and Gasly in the top 5 .

This has made this a very interesting Race .

Oh please
Nowhere near a fan of his, but I agree there should be light on the right hand side of the track if not necessarily the pit lane entrance.
He was let down my his pit wall/engineers who didn't inform him the pit lane was closed.

Something every other team (bar Alfa) told their drivers.

What's the procedure for race restart? Safety car?

ctrl-alt-delete · 06-09-2020 3:05pm

Looks like they are trying to change parts on Bottas' car - have they tried changing the driver?:pac:

Line up on grid in the same position as when the red flag was called

“No”

One lap behind the safety car and rolling restart. The grid lights are only used if the race was started behind the safety car.

Charlie-Bravo · 06-09-2020 3:08pm

It's a safety car restart. Hamilton won't be able to do his stop/go until the safety car comes in.

So a lights out restart?

In-running betting:

Hamilton 4/1
Bottas 6/1
Sainz 33/1
Max 40/1
Lando 80/1

You can't really have much sympathy when the vast majority of teams were clued in - the sign came on at the same time as the safety car was sent out.

I do think the last two lights are not in the best position, but honestly what could he have done if in his own words there was one on the entrance to the pit lane?

He has been to see the stewards, another reason why he isn't liked by as many as like him. He was praising the team earlier on about all the unseen work that goes unnoticed by many - time to suck it up and blame the team for this.

So is Stroll now favourite to win??

Unless Mercedes try to use him as a roadblock to let Hamilton open a gap. It has happened before when Ocon drove for Force India...It'll be interesting.

Nah, not really, come on, maybe Crofty trying to climb on glass a bit, but it was a slamdunk. Two red light, but most importantly, his engineer dropped it - he should've been told to stay out.

More worryingly, the fact the penalty for Giovinazzi was a quick deal while they had to think about it for Hamilton, once again, leaves the usual suspicions in the air.

Would love if Hamilton with all his prancing around the FIA offices in the paddock somehow misses the restart.

I thought they changed that rule? I could be wrong though

Cool_CM · 06-09-2020 3:10pm

Last time a driver visited the stewards during a race and went back out to complete it?

Alfa Romeo winning the Italian Grand Prix? Alternative universe stuff.

All the talk has been it cannot be done under a safety car.

flazio · 06-09-2020 3:11pm

The pundits think Stroll has to restart like for like.

It looked like was sad scooting back to the grid last we saw him

Brundle said earlier you cant serve a penalty under safety car.

Sorry that seems to be messed up from Oddschecker. Proper order is:

Sainz 11/5
Stroll 5/2
Bottas 10/3
Gasly 5/1
Hamilton 6/1

TheDoctor · 06-09-2020 3:13pm

Was there not a change to make starts grid starts rather than rolling starts?

Might be thinking it was if the track was wet and you did a few laps behind the safety car

That's about right. Sainz for me.

d8491prj5boyvg · 06-09-2020 3:14pm

This is going to be interesting but all because of an anomaly. Will be good for today

Faugheen · 06-09-2020 3:14pm

There’s something very amusing about Hamilton scooting down the pit lane.

Yeah thats the rule change I meant but i cant find anything online.

Rossi IRL · 06-09-2020 3:15pm

Hamilton will do well to finish 7th

Just seen Latifi is 9th wtf

Will be a mad end to this race

My money is on Stroll or Sainz now

BrentMused · 06-09-2020 3:16pm

It’s easy to forget sometimes with so many races being damp squibs these days, but the excitement when something like this happens in F1 is hard to beat!

SureYWouldntYa · 06-09-2020 3:17pm

Scenes if Sainz wins now, albeit under mad enough circumstances but he was good for a podium anyway

Then next year he's stuck in the Ferrari struggling to get out of Q1, maybe a win today will help make up for it

tipp_tipp_tipp · 06-09-2020 3:17pm

I think if stroll keeps his cool he will win. Passing seems very hard today with DRS trains. Will be interesting if gasly can put him under pressure.

ctrl-alt-delete · 06-09-2020 3:18pm

Lewis sounds depressed, will be interesting to watch him battling back through and see how far he can get up.

Standing restart adds even more uncertainty

Sainz is great off the line

PsychoPete · 06-09-2020 3:18pm

Gasly for the win at Monza

antodeco · 06-09-2020 3:18pm

So a standing start!

flazio · 06-09-2020 3:19pm

It is a grid start.
That's a surprise.

06-09-2020 3:19pm

Standing start. This race just gets better

Busi_Girl08 · 06-09-2020 3:19pm

Hamilton grumpily sighing about his penalty on the radio made my day to be honest ha

TheDoctor · 06-09-2020 3:19pm

Someone is going to mess up lining up on the grid

My bad. Standing start....soooo much more fun. Looking forward to this!

Burkie1203 · 06-09-2020 3:19pm

Standing start

06-09-2020 3:20pm

I’m going for Norris ftw.

tipp_tipp_tipp · 06-09-2020 3:21pm

forgot about the standing restart. This will be crazy

06-09-2020 3:21pm

The message seems to be “Just suck it up Lewis!” and that is from his own team

Zookey123 · 06-09-2020 3:21pm

Yeah I remember talk about a rule change a couple of years ago about the grid starts so it must have been approved. Happy days.

Faugheen · 06-09-2020 3:22pm

As much as you don’t like him, that’s the difference between Hamilton and Bottas right there. Hamilton is desperate to win even when it doesn’t look likely and would try to get a 5 second gap, and they have to try reign him in.

Bottas wouldn’t even argue in the first place.

He has nothing to lose now so no point him complaining about it
