Poll: Official 2024 Japanese Grand Prix Race Thread - International Racing Course, Suzuka - Race 4/24

[Mr Jack]

I assume this will reset the race order to as per the starting grid?

Does this counting as running a tyre compound for the two tyre rule? I assume so.

FIA Stewards - Turn 2 incident involving Ricciardo and Albon will be investigated after the race - Causing a collision

We have a restart order:

Race control - Order for restart: 1, 11, 4, 55, 14, 81 ,44, 16, 63, 27, 77, 22, 31, 10, 18, 20, 2, 24

And yes, it counts.

 

[Flibster]

Someone check who is climbing into Sargeants car. Make sure it's not Albon out of habit.

Stake might actually not be stuck changing the tyres given the time they have to not cross thread the wheel nuts…

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Race will resume at 14:32 - Standing start procedure

The nice green sport of F1. Sitting still burning a couple of laps of fuel off to shave off some race time.
Still blows my mind how long these engines can sit idling for. Imagine that in the old days, just all the cars on fire.

I really miss Brundle

 

[Mad_Jay]

Really hoping this hasn't nulified the rest of the race with all the tweaks and tyre changes that has happened.

 

[spook2575]

Merc hard tyres interesting

 

[ZedPowered]

I really miss Brundle

Agreed. Miserable bloke when I met him in the BRDC in 2022 but much better than Davidson.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

I like Ant Davidson personally. Brundles got the familiar fatherly voice but I don't think he offers any amazing insight that others don't.

 

[Flibster]

Hamilton, Russell, Ocon, Gasly, Sargean thave changed to the hard tyre

Tsunoda and Zhou have switched to the soft.

New set of Mediums on Sainz, Leclerc and Magnussen

New set of softs on Stroll

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Even if it's a bad race, it was worth it to get a laugh from the posts joking about Williams' spreadsheet.

 

[chrismscotland]

Agreed. Miserable bloke when I met him in the BRDC in 2022 but much better than Davidson.

Can't stand Davidson, I actually quite like Brundle's son Alex he's great on the F2/F3 coverage

 

[Flibster]

Ocon pit radio - Okay, so straight into management. Bottas and Stroll on the soft tyre. They won't last long in these stints. They're going to have to stop again.

 

[Flibster]

Piastri pit radio - White H 30 position 8. White H 30 position 8. Leclerc 1.3

 

[Mr Jack]

Didn't Checo have his DRS open before it was enabled?

 

[imtoooldforthis]

I think there is a delay on the DRS is available message appearing on the brodcast.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

Perez already gone into bum mode, was nailed on with Ant Davidson hyping up his pace this weekend.
