Poll: Official 2024 Sao Paulo Grand Prix Race Thread - Autódromo José Carlos Pace - Race 21/24

[Murray]

Stroll’s car was moving, it seems to me that they were waiting to see if Stroll could have moved his car to safety. No way Alonso’s would be moving anywhere, especially on a much faster part of the track.

I mean his rear wing was still on the side of the track, they shouldn't even want him to be driving around without one and also need to remove the debris.

 

[Flibster]

German TV reporting that Stroll's red flag happened after 52 seconds.

So we have a broken car in the barriers and the track is wet, yeah, let's just let people go past a speed for almost a minute. After all what's the chance that another car will go off in the same place as this one? I mean, that's never happened at Interlagos before........

 

[Kenai]

4 hours between qual end and race start iirc.

Seems optimistic to have started qualifying 5 hours before in that case, given the conditions, as if it was ever likely to complete in an hour

Would be interesting to see where LN was on the track map when the accident happened...

I’m not sure how they could see all that detail right away and immediately able to make a decision, compared to Alonso nose first into the barrier on a much faster part of the circuit.

Oh he finished a lap and went to P1 #TeamFIAGB, obviously.

Maybe they should have got the drivers up an hour earlier for qualifying.

4 hours between qual end and race start iirc.

Or was 4 hours from qual start?

The regs require the provisional grid to be published a minimum of four hours before the race, but that's all I can find?

 

[Flibster]

RED FLAG

 

[SpartaP]

Hope Williams has a spare car… Jesus

 

[Flibster]

Both Williams and both Aston Martins are broken

I think Albon has the worst one so far.

 

[imtoooldforthis]

I guess this new track surface is an absolute nightmare in the wet, because this is abnormal.

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

This is pathetic,

 

[Slam62]

Wow another pit lane start

 

[uscool]

Wow that's smashed

 

[booyaka]

Albon - what you doing?!?!?! P2 - no need to be going mad

 

[.:MBK:.]

Ooof that's ugly

 

[Parky]

This is getting silly now, no need to continue otherwise they'll be no cars left.

 

[UTmaniac]

Albon helping Max, oof!

 

[Concrete]

Ouch that's a big hit.
