Poll: Portugese Grand Prix 2020, Portimao - Race 12/17

[Flibster]

Silly mistake. He was on for decent points.

So was Norris... Now P18 and P20.

They are banging on about rain now so there definitely won't be any.

Slippery surface reported in sector 16

I suspect the track is a fairly high downforce setup, so the gains with DRS are bigger.

Yeah they were saying yesterday that it is indeed a high downforce setup track

Yeah, fair enough. In that care, they need to make the zone shorter if they come back here.

Ham absolutely dropping Bottas now.

Sky know it's the only thing that'll make the rest of the race remotely interesting so they have to bang the drum when there's any remote chance of rain. 100% wont.

bottas droping way back,

Hard tyre for Vettel...

Stroll time deleted - track limits turn 1.

He's already had the black and white flag for track limits... Off to the stewards he goes?

What actually is the punishment for exceeding limits after the black and white flag's been shown?

There's my answer - another 5 sec penalty.

I think there is a headwind on the main straight as well, which makes it even more beneficial for the guy behind.

Grosjean time deleted - track limits turn 4

Black and white flag shown for Grosjean - track limits.

 

[Flibster]

5 second penalty for Stroll - track limits

 

[englishpremier]

Lol. The usual suspects can't manage to stay on the track. What the hell is wrong with Grosjean and Stroll. Consistently two of the worst drivers went it comes to this sort of thing.

 

[Steampunk]

Drivers will be doing the shocked pikachu that they're actually getting penalties for exceeding track limits.

 

[Flibster]

Grosjean time deleted - track limits turn 1
So, expect a 5 second penalty for Grosjean as that's number 4 for him.

Beggars belief that Bottas hasn't rolled the dice and fitted hards several laps ago, Lewis has been sailing off into the sunset in this medium vs medium battle for some time.

The team wont be too concerned, huge gap to car behind. they will just be sticking to the game plan, I doubt bottas will have a huge say in it at the moment, that boat sailed with lewis flying by him.

 

[Flibster]

Perez and Ocon showing it can be done cleanly

So how many cars won't be lapped today? The lead the Mercs have is ridiculous.
