As long as I can remember too. There is a weird rule though.

I don't know if you remember Baku a few years ago, when Seb intentionally hit Lewis, but you can only work on the car in the pit lane. Kimi was penalized in that race because he was already in the garage about to retire and they started working on the car during the red. They needed to wheel him out to the pit lane first.

By allowing them to change tires, that could give someone a huge advantage if he had gained spots because the guys in front him pitted and he just hadn't pitted for tires yet. Now his temporary position gain is set.

Yep. Last year in one of the red flags, Tuscany maybe, this happened.


Don't think they let cars unlap on standing starts, but if there is an additional safety car the lapped cars should be able to get one lap back.

That's what happened at Monza last year. The guys who were waiting to pit did their pit stop under a red flag.

Ah, knew it was one of them. Sainz and Stroll benefitted greatly.

Used to be a totally different broadcast from sky, NBC Sports.

I've grown accustomed to Sky, but NBC Sports was pretty damn good too.

I felt like I wasn’t able to see any of these races last year though on tv though. Maybe I wasnt looking hard enough.
