Poll: Official 2023 Australian Grand Prix Race Thread - Albert Park, Melbourne - Race 3/23

Hulkenberg radio - Tsunoda is behine me for real?

Pit - For real.

Hulkenberg - **** he made up a lot of places too didn't he.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

For me, do not restart, end as it was at the restart order.
I think it might be for the best

However it ends it's clown motorsport, but going back to the previous order is the better option.

 

[Flibster]

Cmon.... Penalty for Sainz means Hulkenberg P3!

 

[Mad_Jay]

Sainz to get a time penalty for spinning Alonso, Hulkenburg to get a first podium

 

[SDK^]

They have exact GPS positions for the car, going back to an earlier point is a daft rule.

The last race when they thought Stroll was stopped on the track, but wasn’t, due to incorrect GPS

The GPS didn't work on Friday either!

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

If they keep this order and Sainz doesn't get a 5 second or more penalty then that is pretty poor.

 

[Mr Jack]

Has Ocon had a season where he didn't hit his teammate yet?

 

[UTmaniac]

BBC radio talking of a restart with crashed cars out.

 

[el_dazza]

Alonso reinstated to 3rd for the restart!

No race - cars will follow SC to the flag.

 

[utajoker]

Parade lap

Probably the fairest outcome

 

[PikeyPriest]

Are Sky correct? They were talking like the restart lap didn’t count because they didn’t reach a sector. I always thought the lap count was absolute as the cars cover a lap even if it is under a red flag. Are they right??

I understand the roll back for position, but they implied there could be 2 laps left which is wrong to me.

 

[Bazzards]

What a joke. Ha ha

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Why do I feel like Aussies are going to boo once they realise it’s just a parade lap

 

[Flibster]

Restart order.

Verstappen
Hamilton
Alonso
Sainz
Stroll
Perez
Norris
Hulkenberg
Piastri
Zhou
Tsunoda
Bottas

 

[Psycho Ned]

Right call I guess.

Sucks for the Alpines but there you go.

 

[Trusty]

boo!

Jesus..its not hard. Just restart it from the original grid and have 1 racing lap. if they mess up again, that's it

 

[Mr Jack]

Probably the fairest outcome

I hate these reset button restarts. Nice for Alonso though.

 

[el_dazza]

Tsunoda finishes 11th again
