Has been like this for a few races...is it the F1 director though?

No idea! Just seems to have been the case this race and last.

How do sky manage to miss all the crashes. We only see them minutes after the event.

Red flag!

Why are you blaming it on sky? It's nothing at all to do with them.

Monaco is particularly bad as instead of the of the FOM director, they use a local Monaco chap, and he's pretty useless.

What an impact.

That barrier will take a while to fix.

Chiton at fault?

Yeah. Monaco n00b error, although I guess he raced here in GP2.

Red flag!

Sky have no control. The feed is controlled by a single race director for all broadcasters.

BBC would have not got it either.

CaptainRAVE · 26 May 2013 at 14:14

Super sorts back on now?

PinkFloyd · 26 May 2013 at 14:14

Hang on. Changing tyres? I thought they changed the rules on it the other year :s

Incoming whinging about red bull getting lucky.. sparky cover your eyes!!

Skeeter · 26 May 2013 at 14:15

Oh poo. Red Bull saved again by a red flag.

smr · 26 May 2013 at 14:15

Bah another Monaco race spoiled by tyre changing under red flag.

Dimi · 26 May 2013 at 14:15

Worst race I've seen in a while, to top it of they can all change tires now.

Boring.

TaKeN · 26 May 2013 at 14:15

Ffs. Change tyres?

We had this rubbish once before.

Merlin5 · 26 May 2013 at 14:15

Do they all have to take their starting grid positions, regardless of where they might have progressed in the race? Surely not?

Vast improvement over the early 90s when the local broadcaster provided the feed. BBC used to make a good job of it, others countries like Mexico and Brazil were terrible.

They do get lucky, all the darn time.

They have to allow it I suppose, as red flags tend to be for rain.

Whats that silver car!?

Coincidence then.

God I hate Redbull, so much luck.

No current position, counted one lap back from the Red Flag.
