Pirelli strikes again.

 

[Flibster]

Ok, wasn't as bad as I thought, but still not a nice accident.

Looks like the rear left tyre failed.

 

[muon]

Looks like a pucture.

 

[chrismscotland]

Huge amount of carbon fibre all over the track; what a mess

Wouldn’t be the first time we see more punctures as a result.

 

[Mr Jack]

That's got to be horrible for the driver, no warning and you're suddenly dumped into the wall at 200mph.

Pity the pitlane was shut that could have made things spicy.

 

[mmj_uk]

Why is a sport so obsessed with safety sanctioning tyres that are deliberately rubbish and dangerous? bring back refuelling and then they won't have to gimp tyres and have silly compound rules.

 

[Flibster]

Genuinely surprised he didn't have to go to the medical centre for checks after that.

They're not deliberately dangerous, calm down

Are they? We don't know he hadn't picked up debris or something that's caused it

Better a straight though. Can slide along.

Agreed, we see it far too often. Pirelli will just blame everything and anyone else.

That’s going to ache tomorrow.

 

[chrismscotland]

They should just red flag this if its going to be a "very long" safety car period; instead of wasting laps

 

[spook2575]

Ham wanting to pit it seems

Refuelling is even more dangerous. Also you gonna limit amount of fuel you can carry to force refuelling? Teams will always push tyres to the limit.

 

[Flibster]

Love that Maylander is grinning as he's driving that Merc around the track. That Merc's engine noise reverberating around the old town must be great.

 

[mmj_uk]

They're going to waste 10 laps behind the safety car aren't they to avoid any more tyre failures late on in the race.

 

[Flibster]

Lapped cars may now overtake... only Mazepin...

He'll probably spin while he does it

 

[Dup]

Got to say I much prefer Di Resta to Brundle.
