Yup. Russell's rear wing lights are definitely stuck on. The rain light isn't on unless he's harvesting.
Something gone in the wireing.

Stroll pit radio - Car behind Fernando has DRS.

Stroll - Yeah just seen the car. My tyres are done, I'll let him pass

Pit - Keep pushing mate, head down.

I’ve never seen that before, it is very odd.

 

[Scam]

Commentators have given up lol. If I didn’t have some scotch left I’d be going up to bed too.

 

[Flibster]

Stroll losing his temper.

Stroll pit radio - Keep your head down, do what you can to control surface....

Stroll - I'm doing it man, it's ****! It's just ******* ****!

Pit - Deg is high for everybody, keep focussed...

Stroll - Yeah it's higher for me!

 

[Journey]

A solid 1 out of 10 there.

 

[Stu999]

A lot of field spread even between the top three.

And the crowd goes.....mild.

Surprised that Russell got a penalty for gaining an advantage by going off the track but Hamilton didn't for turn 1 vs Charles.

Russell definitely tried from further back but Hamilton wasn't ahead when he went off - maybe track limits are different for T1.

 

[Mr Jack]

Glad I didn't stay up for that. Hopefully the more mixed grid and time for strategy to play out tomorrow should make things more interesting tonight.

First lap leniency, innit.
