[chrismscotland]

Sainz having a poorer weekend than usual for this 2024

 

[Mr Jack]

Surprised this isn't full SC.

 

[chrismscotland]

Yeah thought it would be given the location of the car

 

[Flibster]

Norris radio - ****** joking me.

Pit - Tell me about it

Norris - Aaaaahh ***** knew it.

 

[iamtheoneneo]

Joke of a safety call. Bottas chilling at the corner of the track whilst cars are bombing past at 100mph+.
but oh no a drop of rain - quick red flag the race.

 

[Mesai]

Surprised this isn't full SC.

Seeing Bottas out the car and only double-waved yellows was just insane.

 

[Flibster]

Yup. Bottas car still in gear. Watching them push on the wishbones and seeing them flex that much is making me cringe...

 

[Flibster]

Safety car deployed

 

[el_dazza]

Got to be a full SC coming, that car aint budging.

 

[Mr Jack]

Silly not to have done this sooner bit SC at last.

 

[chrismscotland]

There's a joke somewhere about how many people does it take to move a Sauber incoming

 

[spook2575]

Full sc?

 

[Mesai]

This is quality Norris luck.

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Incident involving Sargeant and Hulkenberg noted - Safety car infringement

 

[Mesai]

Since Alpine are so trash, can't we just sacrifice one of them every race to the safety car gods.

 

[SDK^]

That helps Perez - he was 10 seconds behind Norris with another stop to do. Now he’s 1 second behind with no stops to do

 

[Flibster]

So that's Ricciardo boned. 11 laps on his mediums and will have to stop again so... Nicely done Visa Cash App RB RBPT Honda Minardi

 

[Flibster]

Tsunoda and Magnussen collide? Both with flat tyres.

Stroll in the pits.

Replay time...

Stroll rear ended Ricciardo. Stroll blambing Ricciardo saying he slammed on the brakes...

 

[Mesai]

FML, Stroll...just leave.

 

[Mr Jack]

Lol
