  1. No, cars unlap after the track is cleared.
  2. Well Masi is a huge dope, so it’s an open and shut case, Johnson!
  3. I think is the part that bothers me the most: The Race Director stated that the purpose of Article 48.12 was to remove those lapped cars that would “interfere” in the racing between the leaders. Masi knows here that Lewis has zero chance to hold off Max, and just basically admitted to having a huge effect on the results, and indirectly said that it was all for show and that the midfield doesn’t matter.
  4. This. This text sums up my thoughts in a nice coherent way.
  5. Hell, Sainz could have fought for P2 himself but he had two lapped cars in front of him. I think we have a long way to go here.
  6. Another possibility, is that apparently once cars are allowed to unlap, the SC is supposed to come in on the FOLLOWING lap. I admit I have not double checked that rule, though. If so, that obviously was also not followed.
  7. I think Masi might be in some deep shit for real though. Offseason is going to be a shit show.
  8. No, there wouldn’t have been enough time to do it the normal way and the race would have ended under SC. They made one decision, then changed it, but then changed on the fly once again, and started the race once only the cars in front of Max had gone, but not the rest. Obviously the title battle is most important, but it also fucks with other constructors fighting each other too, since they were fighting two different restarts essentially, because some cars started on the lead lap, and some didn’t. It’s a fuck.
  9. Yeah, if they wanted a one/two lap even battle, then Red Flag it, but holy fuck.
  10. They only let the cars in front of Max overtake the SC, what the actual fuck.
  11. It was confirmed by Mike Elliott a few days ago. Rumor was they were going to use it on the nose but it failed crash testing and they abandoned it. Stuff only counts against the budget cap once it’s homologated, so….they held off.
  12. Shit, Merc didn’t even spend development tokens this year. I think the top 3 will still be the top 3, but that Ferrari will be much closer, maybe ahead of Red Bull.
  13. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck boop.
  14. It needs to be tweaked but I’m not totally sure how. I don’t think repairing the car should necessarily be disallowed. At minimum, I do think replacing a front wing should be allowed since they are critical to the car, and it’s pretty standard practice and happens pretty often anyway. There is zero practical reason to send a car with a broken FW out for a standing restart. I have read a few possible ideas. - Allow a tire change, but only to a set of the same compound, so if you haven’t yet run a second compound, you’d still need to. This could work, but if a car is on their only set of hards and they got a puncture, how do you then rule? Eh. - Set order to the last green flag lap order. Don’t think I like this one because of situations like what happened in Jeddah where many stopped but then did like 3-4 SC laps. That was part of the strategy, and would have just been totally nullified. - Close the pits during SC laps kinda like INDYCAR. Would make red flag situations more “fair” to everyone but I don’t really like this as it does remove more strategy options. I dunno.
  15. He got his speed from his mom anyway.
  16. It will. It’s only a temporary circuit until they finish this monstrosity in Qiddiya. The layout isn’t confirmed but this was “leaked”.
  17. Such a great battle. I actually have an art piece of that one.
  18. Hey, it’s Vicerous! Been a while.
