    Didn't watch all of the video, but the first few cars that were going through... unless the radio calls were delayed, the drivers were getting warned about the crash after they had already threaded their way past it and the debris.

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    I cannot understand why the race director (Clerc of the course for us) cannot directly warn all the drivers over the radio.

    Despite FIA saying it meets their standards, guaranteed they change it for next year. They will say something like out of abundance of caution but will be thinking phew, that could have been bad!

    I posted it a bit higher in the thread but no matter. I do find it shocking. It really puts Leclerc's comment in perspective how there wasn't even a safety car announced immediately, let alone a full lap later, and no red flag either. Bizarrely slow acting from the stewards. Completely unacceptable if you ask me.

    The stewards were busy deliberating whether Max exceeded track limits.o_O

    Generally speaking, you often find marshalling and rescue are poorer in countries that don't have a motor racing tradition.

    But here the Race Director was Michael Masi who goes to all the GPs!

    So no excuse.

    Mick was the only one who slowed down.

    lol!
    Not completely true...both Ferraris, Mclarens and Williams did. Mick, Alonso and Bottas as well. Mick sure slowed down the most by far.

    The Race Director is not the Clerk of the Course. The Clerk of the Course works under the Race Director and is usually a local.

    Without 2 way communication between the Race Director and the drivers how would they know for certain they received the message? What if the message is sent at the same time while the engineer is talking? LeClerc couldn't hear the team during Imola GP so the drivers can't always rely on the radio... they should be paying attention to the flags/lights... which it seems they didn't do...

    I remember Pirelli imposing a minimum tyre pressure after a debacle at Silverstone a few years back.

    How they can enforce that, I don't know, unless the FIA sends technicians in the pits to check at random.

    Results after 6 races 2019 vs 2021

    Leclerc and Vettel in 2019 had 139pts

    Leclerc and Sainz in 2021 have 94pts

    2020 was the pandemic which hit Italy hard not to mention only 17 races. 2019 had 21 races.

    Since 2019, Red Bull has replaced Ferrari as the main opposition to Mercedes, as the present standing shows.

    Not to mention the [cough] [cough] Ferrari engine debacle in late 2019 going into 2020??? We really don't know how long Ferrari has been "tricking" the original fuel flow sensor.

    Back in Lauda's era, the tires were run as low as 13 PSI.

    FIA performs random checks at any given moment. On top of that the teams have to send their tyre pressure data (unaltered) directly from telemetry to the FIA after every session.

    If the teams where messing with the pressures, the FIA and of course Pirelli, would know it. And we'd know it, as the punishment for running below minimum pressure woudn't be a slap on the wrist.

    I posted the RedBull rim a year or 2 ago of how "serated" the inside of the rim is to get heat into the tires. Here's another pic.

    "Hamilton also stated that he does not consider the restart incident in Baku, which cost him the chance to gain at least 18 points on the non-scoring Verstappen, to be his mistake."

    Remind me again why he deserves more respect?

    Must've been the teams' fault for not making a lewis hamilton finger protection shroud earlier.
