Poll: Azerbaijan Grand Prix 2021, Baku - Race 6/23

[KiNgPiN83]

Pirelli again. When will the FIA act?

Don’t they make the tyres the FIA want though? I.e. they could make a tyre that lasts a whole race but in the interest of excitement the FIA prefer one that needs to be changed/has different characteristics between compounds etc? I’m not saying that’s a good choice, just putting it out there that it’s what they ask for.

 

[Locky]

So they are going to gift max the win anyway it seems?

 

[muon]

Can you change tyres on a red flag now?

You can.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton radio - Is he ok?

Pit - Affirm.

 

[mmj_uk]

Stroll tyre failed after 29 laps.
Verstappen tyre failed after 33 laps.

Pushing the tyre life?

It said earlier they're rated by Pirelli for 40 laps.

Russell was planning to go 49 laps on them wasn't he?

 

[Flibster]

Latifi under investigation - not using the pit lane.

But they don’t even last as long as Pirelli at they will?

 

[Mr Jack]

Could easily have been punctures. Let's wait and see.

 

[turbot1984]

C'mon Chico!

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Enough laps to resume surely? There’ll be uproar if they gift max the win with a few laps left. Messy whatever they do.

 

[Kanpai]

Bring back Bridgestone!

 

[Flibster]

It said earlier they're rated by Pirelli for 40 laps.

Up to now, how many laps had anyone done on the hard this weekend?

Suspect Pirelli were wrong and the teams didn't do enough or even any running on them.

 

[deuse]

They should stop the race now.

If they do that then sorry F1 stinks...

 

[CaptainRAVE]

They can all change tyres now?

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton getting a new nose fitted.

 

[turbot1984]

I'm binning my sunday drive off ... got P Zeros on

 

[Merlin5]

Kwik Fit's budget tyres could probably do a better job.

 

[muon]

But they don’t even last as long as Pirelli at they will?

Problem is tyres aren't good on lap 40 and bad on 41. Ultimately they are degrading continuously.

No one knows exactly how many laps they will last, it will vary from car to car and also track to track.

 

[deuse]

They can all change tyres now?

They have been able to for ages

Pirelli choose the compounds, if they choose one and say it will be good for 40 laps then it should be good for 40 laps.

Always hated my P zeros. They were great unless it rained or they wore in the slightest.

Hamilton’s front wing took a hit by the looks of it.
