Not surprised. That was quite a significant amount of fire from both the brakes. They'll be concerned with the suspension wishbones, brake tin, cabling, hoses, even the wing was looking charred.

I love science… Maybe shouldn’t have went with the spell-check.

There was a ‘pastry’ / Piastri sign yesterday.

200 degrees on yerr bottom

lol Alonso said it’s like 200 degrees and his engineer just says “copy that”

I think by T4/T5 it was pretty obvious Sainz wasn't going to get going - so an aborted start at that point should have been the call, rather than waiting until Lando hit the second last corner.

Usually they clear the stalled car from the grid rather than aborting. They needed to wait until that was not possible.

Wouldn't be the first time that drivers have got burns from the seat. IIRC several years ago during a pit stop they dumped some water in the cockpit to try to cool the it down a little.

I liked that one

Struggling to understand why they didn’t pull the rear wheels off to get the heat out earlier.

Not allowed except in their pits, I believe.

Also, the guns are pneumatic, aren't they, so they probably couldn't use them there anyway.

Good job he's not still at Ferrari. "We are checking"

There’s a serious risk of swamp ass.

Ted was spot on about breathing in burnt carbon fibre and extinguisher fumes. .

No no I agree, it's why I was surprised why it took so long for them to move the car from the grid. I know it's a very short lap but it felt like everyone was just waiting.

or "That'll be the heat".

Yeah, it's nasty stuff even before it's burnt. I hate working with it. Always masked, gloved and long sleeves.

 

[Flibster]

it's always Turn 3....

Antonelli hits Verstappen at Turn 3.

 

[Flibster]

Safety car deployed

 

[layte]

oh no, not max.

lol

That grandstand will empty quick.

 

[el_dazza]

Well isn't that a shame

 

[t2na]

That dirty side of the grid was so so slow to get away. Did everyone on that side lose a place?!
