Why the red flag? To sweep up the rocks?

Standing restart or is it rolling start? I can never remember what the current rule is

It's kind of weird that they don't get put back in the positions prior to the pit stops (or that everyone can change tires and repair the cars under red flag). Merc and Ferrari are being punished for not anticipating a red flag.

I like Button's commentary. He's pleasant.

Yeah they made a choice. If they didn’t red flag then other people got punished for not pitting. Pick what entirely artificial advantage you think is more fair than another one.This is how motorsports work.

merc definitely split strategy just to keep George and lewis from fighting and getting pissy, which really just makes it even funnier

Just thinking about what to do with all the money I don't have.
DC saying the red flag for gravel is "safety gone mad", but isn't that why Helmut Marko is half blind?

But maybe DC has a point? With modern helmets and visors the gravel might not be very dangerous? Imagine it would gently caress up the cars though.

Also, does anyone here believe that anyone is going to make it to the end on hard tires? I certainly don’t.

Having a sensible chuckle at people upset that Max complained about being pushed off. As if two years ago, Lewis wasn’t complaining about the same dumb bullshit.

The only difference between Max and Lewis is Max didn’t finish his whining with “…man”
