They haven't created a technical document on how to yet. I am sure Ferrari is waiting for it come come out quite eagerly.

6 cars in 10 seconds has to be some kind of record... :slap:

Surely they know it's past my bed time, that's why this is happening.

I didn't see the race but just watched the highlights. How did Alonso end up second when he got bumped and spun on that restart??

Red flag was called before the drivers completed the first sector I believe. Pretty much rendering the race start not valid.

That was truly an every multiplayer racing lobby start. I was struggling hard to stay awake and that last red flag infuriated me. As soon as I found out they were going to do a S.C finish, I shut everything off.

F1 used to go entire seasons without a single red flag, but ever since the death of Charlie Whiting, they have been incredibly common.


They used to only be used when it was genuinely impossible to go back to racing conditions with cars still circling the track. Now they just use them for fun to drag out the race. Personally, I'm fine with the race getting cut two laps short. They don't need borderline-staged chaos to keep me entertained.

Poorly trained squirrel monkeys.

The FIA should up their game and hire bonobos.

Could not comment on that last race… didn’t know where to start, so left for a few days to do some skiing.


What is the backup plan for Miami? I propose Speedboats…

Another race weekend at my favourite demolition track: Baku.

The practice & quaili today did not disappoint with a few trying to modify/widen the walls.

Well done Charlie, I have a feeling you did good for no reason,
Being in red is just a disaster in waiting.
But If you don’t finish it will give you time to do some piano practice.

Gasly keeping his mechanics busy trying to get his car a bit more wall/fire proof if that can be done?

TSU & NOR will not run tomorrow Q3 session because of the new rules (article 30.5)? WTF.

It is nice that McLaren is back in the running.

Ham wants more speed? Elon is becoming his best friend for that! Just needs a vehicle that wont blow up.

We have sprint race Quali now . Im getting quite mixed up in what they are doing to try to get this entertaining.
Just put some loud & fast cars on the track & you get my attention.

For once im of the same opinion as Horner: it is completely mad to be doing a Sprint race here at this circuit,
probably one of the most dangerous on the calendar.

What I really wannaknow: Will ALO be swift or not this weekend?:bellyroll:
