Yeah I saw that DotD maths :D

That moment on Eau Rouge with Verstappen doubled my respect for him in the space of like 0.5 seconds. Long way to go, but at least it was note worthy for the right reasons.

One of the better races this season, but tbh it feels weird when you are desperate for it to rain and then are immediately desperate for it to stop raining before the race gets black flagged.

Only a matter of time before Max and Gianpierro get shipped, going to be hilarious :D

Because the race had ended and cars were pulling into the second pit entry? Nothing to do with flares what so ever..

People pitting shouldn't cause a yellow. It is normal race procedure.

Also no one is racing at that point, as everyone behind Verstappen has crossed the chequered flag.

It might have been equally due to the firework display thing though near the first corner.

The warning yellow was normal. If you want to form a different opinion that's up to you..

If everyone says so, then must be right. But bizarre as its the end of the race and people slow right down at the end of every GP after crossing the chequered flag taking all sorts of lines to get pickup. Yellows definitely aren't shown on other tracks.

They're not pitting in the normal pit entrance after a cool down lap and the cars behind are potentially still racing each other to the line at significant speed.

That would make absolute sense if it wasn't for the fact the second pit entry (and pit lane, it isn't the same pit lane) is well after the first corner (La Source which is a very slow corner).

But anyway, evidently that is the reason there is a yellow.
 
That was dull fell asleep with 4 laps remaining didn't help had late one last night

The breaks probably come at the right time so can build up some hype again lol
