What signal were they given to proceed on another formation lap?

I'll wait.

btw-Ocon asked his engineer "Do I just stay here?"

"Yes"

The tire pressure rule apparently only matters if they are bolted on the car. Mclaren took theirs off and adjusted tire pressure no penalty

No idea. Didn't see the onboard messaging system.

Penalty.

I'm loving the midfield battle!

P10 Hulkenberg 31 pts
P11 Tsunoda 28 pts
P12 Gasly 26 pts
P13 Stroll 24 pts
P14 Ocon 23 pts

Considering that Alonso has 62 points, Stroll should easily be in P10 but he's a massive failure, giving the bottom five teams the opportunity to get a driver into P10 in the WDC.


Also WCC:

P6 Alpine 49 pts
P7 Haas 46 pts
P8 VCARB 44 pts

Well, there is a big sign right next to the lights that says aborted start.

They've shown it several times.

Onboard messaging system has nothing to do with it.

But yes, I agree you have no idea.

Aborted Start once the grid is formed? OK.

47.1 only applies during the formation lap, not once the cars have made it back to the grid.


What if half the grid makes it back? They should go but the rest should wait? That makes no sense.

I'm with you. Think that is the grey area that has pushed this to the stewards post race and will result in nothing but a warning or.something.

Wh knows. Have to wait until stewards rule now.

Have we discussed Norris’ post race interview when he claimed it wasn’t talent, just luck that won Max the race? The guy is literally in the fastest car and bottled it into turn 1. Meanwhile Max started 17th.

Yes.

Why is it hard to understand?


You know what the sign/lights/race control said after Norris' "second" formation lap?

"Aborted start" again. And crews came out to the cars.

I'm re-watching right now.

I'll just assume you are a Norris fan.

Pretty sure he said the time they pitted with the yellow/red came down to luck and not talent.

"It shouldn't have been red flagged but there was the crash in the end which cause it so... that's life sometimes. You take a gamble and it's paid off for them. It's not talent, it's just luck.

perhaps. These Sky knuckleheads seem to be saying that leaving the grid with amber and not green lights is a no-no

I laughed at the TV when I saw/heard that. He's so soft.

Max had one of the best drives I have seen and comes Norris, 30 seconds back, saying it wasn't talent.

So why did the crews not come out the first time?

They called the aboted lap rhe second time more than halfway before.


The lights never turned green so then anyone who left broke the rules. Right?

Have you bothered to watch any replays? They showed it from Ocon's car and aborted start is clearly lit.

And you can watch Norris drive off under the aborted start sign. Clearly lit.

Keep arguing. Obviously you are wrong otherwise there wouldn't be 4 drivers hauled in by the stewards.

Shouldn't they all be hauled in by the stewards then?

Never called for another formation lap and lights never flashed green. Right?

That's a different argument.

At least now you admit Emoboy was wrong.
