FIA bull****, the white line is the track limit, end of story.

Its the easiest thing in f1 to enforce and yet they won't ever do it, symbolises exactly whats wrong with the whole sport

How do you think they measure when a car exceeds the limits exactly? Just stand Giuseppe on turn 1 to watch 20 cars zooming by and do it by naked eye. They use sensors and timing loops that's how. Previous poster said they didn't have time to set them up, they were spot on. They didn't have time to technically configure them, so impossible to enforce accurately

Wasn't someone in F2 qualifying being investigated for track limits??

The only penalty I can remember from F2 qualifying was a 3 place grid drop for Juri Vips blocking Deletraz

Engine cover off Max's car and the mechanics working on something as the anthem started

ScrubsfanChris · 13-09-2020 1:57pm

Hope that's not Hamiltons only challenger out already.

13-09-2020 2:00pm

Here’s hoping this is a good race day.

skipper_G · 13-09-2020 2:01pm

Looks like problem solved and Max will be okay to take the start

Redbull saying it is OK now, but then again they would.
I was hoping Max might end up getting a flyer and be in with a chance with Lewis trying to cover whatever Bottas might do at turn 1.

Interesting, I specifically remember a comment that everyone in F1 was well exceeding track limits since Friday and that that investigation in F2 was the first one all weekend.

Max Out

seamusk84 · 13-09-2020 2:15pm

Damn! Lets hope Bottas keeps in front so Hamilton gets pressure from behind.

antodeco · 13-09-2020 2:16pm

This is why I love gravel traps!

Rossi IRL · 13-09-2020 2:16pm

Why was he even back that far anyway

I was trying to work out how he ended up so far back to be caught up in that.

Faugheen · 13-09-2020 2:17pm

That was an absolutely atrocious start from Max.

PopePalpatine · 13-09-2020 2:18pm

Of course my stream craps itself during the chaos.

JeffKenna · 13-09-2020 2:18pm

**** sake

ctrl-alt-delete · 13-09-2020 2:18pm

No way Max's car was sorted, it went backwards at the start.

Radio message confirms that.

ScrubsfanChris · 13-09-2020 2:19pm

What happened with Max's start? Looks like he missed a gear or drop the anchor.....

This is it · 13-09-2020 2:20pm

Nah, that's a car issue at the start. He actually got away OK and then lost power, can hear how low the revs are

skipper_G · 13-09-2020 2:20pm

Unlucky for Max to get taken out, but after the initial getaway he basically stopped accelerating. Looks like that problem was not fixed after all and he probably wouldn't have made it too much further

His initial getaway was great but then he got swallowed up with whatever his problem is

What do you mean FFS? It's the only bit of Drama Drama we'll probably get

One of the few drivers that can challenge Hamilton is out

Rossi IRL · 13-09-2020 2:25pm

Safety car should of been in 2 or 3 laps ago

I see what you mean but the Red Bull just isn't quick enough

PsychoPete · 13-09-2020 2:27pm

The colour of those Ferarris is very nice, they should keep that colour

skipper_G · 13-09-2020 2:27pm

That might need a red flag

Edit: duh I forgot they would just send the cars through the pitlane

13-09-2020 2:27pm

Oh god lol

ctrl-alt-delete · 13-09-2020 2:27pm

Jesus that is shocking at a restart.

Bottas looked to have done so well too.

PsychoPete · 13-09-2020 2:27pm

Absolute carnage

Rossi IRL · 13-09-2020 2:27pm

Christ

Didn't like that weaving to be honest, bound to caus a crash

antodeco · 13-09-2020 2:27pm

Jesus!

ScrubsfanChris · 13-09-2020 2:27pm

Ah lads

This is it · 13-09-2020 2:27pm

Wow

Faugheen · 13-09-2020 2:27pm

What the f*ck was Bottas doing there?

deafroadrunner · 13-09-2020 2:28pm

Another safety car!!

ScrubsfanChris · 13-09-2020 2:28pm

Red flag coming

seamusk84 · 13-09-2020 2:28pm

jaysus

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

It worked though, was still 1st into turn one.

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

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

Burkie1203 · 13-09-2020 2:29pm

Shambles. Standing start again. Red flag surely

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

ScrubsfanChris · 13-09-2020 2:30pm

People at the back not paying attention.

Rossi IRL · 13-09-2020 2:30pm

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 2:30pm

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