Please don't bin it now Charles

There was nowhere for Piastri to go there.

 

[Tigget]

Lewis is very unlucky to have got a puncture there if he has.

 

[Kanpai]

It’s odd, I thought the one positive of this track would be the view around it at night but you don’t see much of it other than the helicopter shots. Monaco it’s all a little clearer, admittedly it’s a tighter circuit.

For me Singapore still the best night race

 

[Flibster]

Sainz pit radio - Fernando 0.9 behind. 0.9 behind. Has been reported slippery track at the end of the straight there. Slippery track reported.

Ferrari pits providing Sainz with a vital piece of information here. No one knew the track was slippery 18 laps in....

 

[Tigget]

For me Singapore still the best night race

Yeah, I agree.

 

[Flibster]

Hulkenberg pit radio - Turn 3 and turn 11 keep on managing because people are struggling with graining on hard

Hulkenberg - Ok copy.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

They really love replaying stuff, eons after it happened, this weekend.

 

[Flibster]

Albon pit radio - Piastri behind you is double hard (ooooh.. matron!) so he will need to pit again.

 

[Flibster]

Alonso radio - Yeah, struggling with the fronts a little bit now

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Ooft, messy. Bits of car all over the road now.

 

[Flibster]

Alonso radio - Yeah, definitely the fronts are struggling.

Pit - Copy, we'll go up on aero balance. How much more would you take?

Alonso - Yeah I don't know. What are you thinking? 0.6 maybe?

Pit - Yeah 0.5, 0.6 I was thinking. The other car, Lance has got similar front graining problems. The best thing for our race is to continue a bit longer on this set so use your tools to help you.

 

[Tigget]

Replays taking way too long this weekend. Lots of floor damage.

 

[Trusty]

Why would Max think he could overtake there anyway? It's like the tightest turn on track

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Been a reasonably entertaining race tbh, the level of hate has not been justified... yet

 

[Tigget]

LeClerc left out….. ferrari.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Why would Max think he could overtake there anyway? It's like the tightest turn on track

Imagine overtaking on a race track!? Unbelievable. This isn't what we do here.

 

[Flibster]

Russell radio - Verstappen behind at 0.4. Don't let him push you along too much. Do what you need for the tyres.

Russell - Check the wing


Verstappen radio - He Just turned in on my. Check my tyre. Front wing.

Pit - Tyre is ok for now Max. Stay out for now. Tyre is ok

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Russell probably should have backed out of that imo

 

[Stu999]

Why would Max think he could overtake there anyway? It's like the tightest turn on track

Possibly cos he’d already overtaken Zhou there earlier? Just a guess.
