After a red flag there really should be a rolling start. Pretty unfair for people that are shit at the start.

It starts be thing the safety car

there is I thought

 

[Chris R]

Actually only 4. Monaco, Canada, USA and Brazil

Ah ok, was going off what Fox had done for years. Here is hoping the championship is still being fought over in November (ah who am I kidding, NFL will have the market fully locked up for those final two NBC races).

 

[DBT85]

3:35 restart. 10 minutes.

 

[CurlySaysX]

Perez will easily get past Raikonnen if he is given Alonso's spot.

 

[On The Edge of Insanity]

Seems harsh, Perez didn't leave any room to do anything else.

On the replay it looked like their was space for Alonso to put at least two wheels on the circuit, four if he rode the kerb. Had he made some attempt to stay on the circuit then he wouldn't have been able to accelerate away quicker than Perez and probably would have been passed.

Sc start

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Alonso has to give the spot back to Perez. Bull.

Ah, I thought it was up to the race director for some reason.

 

[TylerD]

Looks like the mechanic is going to take over for ALO for the rest of the race.

Those yellow curbs are massive, had he gone over it he would have just gone into the side of Perez.

 

[Shaneus]

Okay, 15:35. Shower tiiiiiime.

 

[Diablohead]

The one race of the year that has more RNG then any other in formula 1.

 

[Adamm]

That's nice to see from Alonso. Coming over and apologising (?) To Perez when it stopped

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

not fair for Alonso

 

[Omiee]

So he has to give the position back on start finish after the restart. That a good solution for hi since he can than push after the first corner and try to overtake.

 

[h3ro]

Class by Alonso going over to Checo after the Red flag. Sucks he has to give the position back, but the call could have gone either way.

 

[Lach]

Is that solution (which i think is good and fair) even allowed according to the rules?

Classier than Benson

 

[On The Edge of Insanity]

I don't disagree, but in that case he should have braked and given up the position, which is what he would do on a circuit with grass rather than tarmac on the side of the chicane.

 

[NHale]

SO perez should put his car there and leave no space to the car in front and he will be able to overtake anyone? This is a bad precedent set by the stewards because if Alonso turned into the corner it would have ended badly for both.

 

[Leunam]

Not sure about that decision. :/

 

[Shaneus]

Great shot on Vergne. Never realised how *flat* the cars are.

 

[Omiee]

Lets say 2 laps behind the Sc means they have to go 30 laps on fresh tires and on lighter fual loads than the first laps.

RBR should easily be able to push and maintain second and 3rd.

EDIT: alonso could have breaked. Perez was in front after the corner.

 

[Tenacious-V]

Perez had the racing line and was ahead at the time, doesn't really matter how tight the squeeze (unless the pass was blatantly dangerous and would cause an accident), it's up to the person behind to back off.

 

[DBT85]

Had it been a normal track Perez would have had to leave room for Alonso though.

when they are alongside they have to leave room.

 

[Psychotext]

Proper race to the finish. Go go go.

 

[Leunam]

Mexican broadcast just mentioned Massa has been taken to the hospital. Precautionary I'm sure.

 

[Omiee]

Why would they go on the option when the supersoft is faster and people did like 30 laps on it.

 

[Atrophis]

It looked like Perez gave enough room so I think it's fair Alonso gives up the place.

 

[DBT85]

The problem with Piqs car was a gearbox seizure.

Yeah he was, although sky sports said that all seems to be fine.

We pause now for a brief music interlude.

Isn't the option the supersoft?

Yeah. Not a fan of Alonso, but that was classy of him.

 

[h3ro]

If they were racing on Gran Turismo's Monaco track layout, Fernando would have gone into the wall at Nouvelle since Checo left no room for him.

Yup, I'm that bored right now.

We pause now for a brief music interlude.

Everyone should listen to Instant Crush from their new album. Such a fantastic track.

Here in Brazil they just said he went for xray and stuff. Dunno if he went a 2nd time.

 

[SunhiLegend]

I don't think that should have been a penalty.

@InsideFerrari: Massa is allright, currently undergoing some checkups. The race will resart in 10 minutes.

 

[DBT85]

The radio message to Hamilton sounds like crap, cos RBR can change tyres now!

 

[Omiee]

Last few laps will be interesting.

 

[Dead Man]

Procession to the finish you mean.

True, but there is barely enough room for two cars to go through side by side at that corner even if they slowly lined it up. It is one of the few overtaking spots on the circuit and you cannot allow people who do not want to give up their position to simply jump across the middle and get away with it.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Disliking Perez more and more every day.

 

[TCRS]

so, 30 more laps or only 25 mins?

 

[Dutch Gronk]

So next time, just crash into him.

 

[DBT85]

Alonso complained but wasn't correct, he wasn't alongside Rosberg, he was behind.

 

[h3ro]

Vettel is totally winning this race. Dude has that Schumi luck.

¡Vamos CHECO!
