Merc out in front already....

 

[nny]

Can't wait for Ferrari to make the wrong tyre call.

They brought a bunch of Ultrasofts, they are going to use them.

 

[Xando]

Why even start like this just delay the race

 

[kharma45]

Why even start like this just delay the race

This will help clear water if nothing else

 

[nny]

Kvyat: "this is too lame, fuck this shit, I'm done."

 

[spuckthew]

I suspect if this were not Monaco, they would have started normally.

 

[ElTorro]

Now it's Kvyat vs Verstappen at the end of the field, lol.

 

[dakun]

I suspect if this were not Monaco, they would have started normally.

For sure.

 

[brotkasten]

It really looks like Kvyat got Max' car.

This will help clear water if nothing else

Not to mention rich people are busy and have plans for the rest of the afternoon.

 

[Hasney]

Max, Lews or Danny K. All angry, wonder who will retire first.

 

[dakun]

I doubt this race will be 78 laps long

 

[Xando]

This will help clear water if nothing else

Considering it's still raining like before the start that seems kinda useless


Yeah Kvyat is done for today

I do wish they'd add a rules provision for stars that would otherwise be started behind the SC. Delay by 10 minutes as the keep scouting the track. After a half hour, whatever, but that would be long enough for running water to drain off of most tracks after it's stopped raining.

We're going to get radio calls from drivers en masse soon, desperate to start.

 

[Par Score]

I look forward to the day they do the races in the simulator because a real race is too dangerous.

Real cars, but remote controlled, is about the best we can hope for :c

 

[Spades]

Why do they always seem to leave the SC out for longer than it needs to be? Always.

 

[Juicy Bob]

I doubt this race will be 78 laps long

This will hit the two hour time limit for sure.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Should have just delayed the race, this sucks

 

[nekkid]

Real cars, but remote controlled, is about the best we can hope for :c

Meet Roborace.

 

[Ark]

Why do they always seem to leave the SC out for longer than it needs to be? Always.

The irony of everyone complaining about the SC start, is that if they hadn't done this, someone would've crashed and we'd have a SC anyway :lol

 

[TCRS]

the state of modern formula 1

 

[paskowitz]

Lol, Kyvat on suicide watch.

The state of modern F1 indeed.

 

[PodcastFips]

Wow, this is boring.

 

[Lender]

Why do they always seem to leave the SC out for longer than it needs to be? Always.

Because it's modern f1 and drivers and organisations have become wusses.

 

[Mohonky]

Why does Kyvatt sound like he's running round the track?

 

[Upinsmoke]

Remember when F1 cars used to race in the wet. Seriously whats the point in having a wet compound if every time it rains they red flag it or bring a safety car out.

 

[Tempy]

Real cars, but remote controlled, is about the best we can hope for :c

Looking forward to Roborace tbh. But more from an AI perspective.

 

[Blablurn]

the state of modern formula 1

 

[nny]

Kvyat giving himself drive-through penalties and all.

 

[darkinstinct]

Why do they always seem to leave the SC out for longer than it needs to be? Always.

I think the reason is hidden somewhere in its name ... safety car ... probably because it's a car.

 

[ElTorro]

The rain does not even look that bad.

 

[TheChamp]

This rate cars will want dry tyres before the SC is in

 

[Juicy Bob]

Kvyat is suddenly up to speed now

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

For sure.

No way. It seems the standard procedure nowdays is that if it needs full wets --> no race.
Can't remember the last time i saw an f1 car do a full race lap on full wets.
Fia wimps are ruining another good race.

 

[brotkasten]

It could be worse.

We could have the Mercedes running off in the distance on a regular track.

 

[Aiii]

The rain does not even look that bad.

I reckon they just want to clear the standing water before they go all out.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

No reason for the SC to take so long to leave right?

 

[Lender]

Magnussen wants to race. My man.

 

[SictorVullivan]

It could be worse.

We could have the Mercedes running off in the distance on a regular track.

But a Mercedes IS running off into the distance...

 

[Mohonky]

Remember when F1 cars used to race in the wet. Seriously whats the point in having a wet compound if every time it rains they red flag it or bring a safety car out.

Wonder this myself, if the full wet goes on, the race is stopped. They'll go a few laps and be straight onto the inter. Or as usually happens, they go onto inter before the safety even pulls off

 

[Spades]

The fact that they'll be pitting for intermediate tyres within a lap or two of the SC coming in pretty much emphasises the point that it's been out for way too long.

 

[NHale]

Embarassing. May as well start pitting to intermediates.

Meanwhile at the 24hrs of the Green Hell drivers were driving with more standing water, night and fog. Grow some balls little boys.

 

[Aiii]

I like how everyone is all "FIA are wimps" but when Bianchi's family sues them for being neglegent and not stopping the race in wet conditions everyone goes "oh yeah, they have a point, boo FIA"

 

[Tempy]

@adamcooperF1
Watching at Rascasse, someone just dumped a tear-off and it's lying crumpled in the middle of the track! Don't tell the FIA...

.

 

[Lender]

FFS get this show on the road.

 

[Spades]

This is so fucking stupid.

 

[brotkasten]

But a Mercedes IS running off into the distance...

I wish that was the joke, but you make a good point.

 

[paskowitz]

What is this shit!?!?

 

[nekkid]

Embarassing. May as well start pitting to intermediates.

Meanwhile at the 24hrs of the Green Hell drivers were driving with more standing water, night and fog. Grow some balls little boys.

It's not the drivers' fault.

 

[spuckthew]

You know the SC has been out too long when the drivers start bitching

 

[PodcastFips]

11% of the race done. Lololol.
