PhilipR should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridPhilipR should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridPhilipR should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
pass around and drop back - another 3-4 laps of sc

Is the SC so long due to lack of intermediate tyres or just overly cautios?

I wonder why they all were driving on the right in the straight. The procedure is clear, they must keep left. But is the SC driver aware?

Umm, don't start pulling on that. You know the race where driving standards are a joke and they finally ran an uninterrupted race this year after a long run. No one has a perfect system

Hour 4 report on news site can be very short: nothing happened, entire time behind safety car.


Hope hour 5 report can be more interesting

TBH I do not get lack of intermediate tyres - in majority of cases cars would run on intermediate tires - and in changing circumstaces having them most definately be a safety factor right?

I get it they want to be more sustainable, but surely they can achieve this through means that do not compromise safety

Some drivers about to get their first racing laps when it gets going. Including Lapierre who has just got in the car 7 minutes ago.

I really don't understand why this SC is taking so long.

Hopefully these new rules will only last one year

They have to rearrange the race order, category by category. Will take a while.

Could be lack of intermediate tires meaning if they go wet or slick will be dangerous?

Just digging for a valid reason, nothing more

Using only one SC car on that long a track might be dangerous. But with three, cant imagine the delays.
