British Grand Prix 2016, Silverstone - Race 10/21

[Glaucus]

At least this solves my hot wings problem, got them in the oven late and will be done at the top of the hour.

 

[Stumble Bum]

Predicting 10+ laps behind the safety car, with Lewis the first to complain on the radio that they should start racing already

 

[Vertigo]

Want another 2008 from Lewis then. I was there, epic race!

Weather report: rain has stopped....track is wet though!

 

[Skeeter]

think about what you are saying, then show how to enforce it and you realise how stupid it is.

so someone makes a mistake, goes wide, loses time and you want them to then have what? a drive through?

makes no sense, that's never happened in the history of f1, doesn't need to happen and would absolutely kill racing.

should Hamilton last week got a penalty on last lap as he went wide.

so filled with hate for fia you are blind to what you are purposing.

all motorsports have ample lee way on boundary.

It would be easy. The FIA have hundreds of cameras covering every single part of the track plus inboards on every car. In qualifying if you exceed the limits that lap doesn't count. In the race if you exceed the limits and get an advantage your penalized or warned. The rule already accommodates going off the track through no fault of your own.

There able to police 3 corners, just do that everywhere.

Your blind hatred for me is obscuring how simple it would be to do (and your spell checker).

 

[Skeeter]

Oh FFS! Grow a pair Charlie you old cretin!

 

[Glaucus]

Lol, I didn't say it wouldn't be easy.

Just ignore everything I said again. So you wnat about 300 drive through a race then. This isn't tennis. Its Motorsport.

 

[antijoke]

Yawn, safety car start.

 

[Mad_Jay]

No need for an SC start on a track with 5 miles of run off.

It's blue skys ffs!

 

[LzR]

Is the SC driving around trying to make somewhat of a dry line? I'm sure they used to do that years ago...

Edit: Im probably thinking of something else...

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

The pinnacle of motorsport. Unless it rains, then the drivers tears eclipse the weather.
Safety car start, robbing us.

Edit: Even old man Hill thinks it's fine enough to just "get on with it" and he's all about safety.

 

[Vertigo]

Oh FFS! Grow a pair Charlie you old cretin!

Safety car starts are beyond pathetic. If it's stopped raining there's no justification whatsoever.

 

[Skeeter]

Lol, I didn't say it wouldn't be easy.

Do you see 300 crashes at Monaco?

Indeed, it's ridiculous, best drivers in the world and they can't start in the rain.

[Glaucus]

Haha lot of cars at manaco go out side track limits especially chicane after tunnel.

Its just an uterrly ridiculuse point you are trying to defend.

 

[Skeeter]

They could. Charlie won't let them try.

We always hear the drivers calling for the SC to come in earlier than it does.

 

[Finners]

Safety car start is a shocking decision, the racing is boring enough atm at least let us have the excitement of a proper start.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Charlie needs to call it a day. He's lost the plot.

 

[UTmaniac]

FFS Charlie, you drip, SC my bottom!
