Seemed mental from Bottas but I don't know if he did anything wrong

Red flag coming

I don’t think so. Prolonged safety car unfortunately:(

Edit: I take it back! You are 100% correct

Burkie1203 · 13-09-2020 02:29PM

Shambles. Standing start again. Red flag surely

That was dangerous as **** though. Grosjean is absolutely right.

ScrubsfanChris · 13-09-2020 02:30PM

People at the back not paying attention.

Rossi IRL · 13-09-2020 02:30PM

Surely a way to counter this is to not be allowed accelerate untill you get to the start line.

Nothing wrong. He didnt want to give hamilton a tow

He did what he had to do for his race. The lads at the back obviously didn't expect it. No brake lights on the cars obviously.

Red flag.

strawdog · 13-09-2020 02:30PM

This track is just too narrow and dangerous for a full f1 race I'm thinking

tipp_tipp_tipp · 13-09-2020 02:31PM

Scary onboard from Giovanazzi there. What's the rule on the leader picking up the pace on the restart? Can he choose when the go anytime up until the start/finish line?

I know he did nothing wrong by the rule book but it was dangerous as ****. That’s a fact.

Was it dangerous of Bottas or those at the back for going too fast. The latter in my opinion. Bottas is the safety car until the line, we always see others slowing to a near stop.while the safety heads in, Bottas just did it later.

They haven't even completed 1 race lap yet!

Exactly.

Zookey123 · 13-09-2020 02:32PM

another red flag!

TheDoctor · 13-09-2020 02:32PM

Nothing wrong with Bottas start there. Absolutely nothing.

Charlie-Bravo · 13-09-2020 02:32PM

Class work from Bottas. That's what I would do with the rules as they are. Everyone else's fault behind.

The exact same tactic was used in the junior races and they managed not to cause a massive pile up. I suspect one driver ran out of talent somewhere in the middle

Ohmeha · 13-09-2020 02:33PM

Exceptionally dangerous restart from Bottas, if it was legal it won't be legal from the next race

The rest of them would have done the same in his position too. It was the only thing to do.

antodeco · 13-09-2020 02:34PM

By the looks of things, Magnussen was nearly stopped on track

walshb · 13-09-2020 02:34PM

The race clock stops now?

Rossi IRL · 13-09-2020 02:35PM

The cars at the back were at fault.

Thery were at full acceleration when nobody else was

Bottas is the safety car. He did nothing dangerous

skipper_G · 13-09-2020 02:35PM

From the replay there it's nothing to do with Bottas choice of restart tactic. The incident at the back was already happening before Bottas had bolted

Larbre34 · 13-09-2020 02:36PM

Friggin amateur hour all the same

Completely disagree
Everyone is just used to Hamilton speeding away after safety cars, didn't count on anything else happening.
Cars in place 2 to 11 seemed have no problem.

TheDoctor · 13-09-2020 02:36PM

100% guys at the backs fault. Accelerating when the guys at the front hadn’t.
