2018 Pirelli Grand Prix de FranceFormula 1

[BrainsBush]

It didn't for Bianchi at Monaco in 2014.

And Perez thisyear https://www.racefans.net/2018/04/30...rve-his-penalty-during-the-safety-car-period/

Was a good question!

5-second penalty for driving too slowly under SC for Sirotkin.

 

[FutureF1]

Idea for better racing: what about getting rid of tire warmers. Puts that much more emphasis on in and out laps.

5 Seconds, but it might as well be 5 years.

First Russian I know for driving too slow and getting a penalty

Would sound a good idea. Big teams will complain citing safety though.

 

[niky]

Vettel past Ricciardo. But Danny has fresher tires.

Danny won't need to overtake, anyway. Five second penalty.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Perez out.

That's both Force India's done.

 

[PeterJB]

If Vettel pits again and takes the penalty he can still finish 5th.

 

[DesertPenguin]

30 laps later the FIA decides to investigate Grosjean for Lap 1 Turn 1. Wow...

Connelly ?

 

[PeterJB]

They obviously realised there's a risk of him scoring points...

 

[PaMu1337]

Leclerc from ultra to supers

 

[sems4arsenal]

Kimi has completed well over the half way distance on the softest compound. We need Super Duper Hyper Mega softs.

 

[niky]

Should they pit Seb? Gamble on a safety? Won't lose any places, anyway,

His best and worst case scenario are 5th at this point, so yeah.

 

[PeterJB]

Jut noticed there's only 20 seconds between 9th and 17th.

 

[BrainsBush]

And Kimi within 5 seconds of Vettel on his reds soonish

edit: already 4.6

 

[Jimlaad43]

Remove the chicane you can't overta...

Oh wait, it's almost like the promoters knew what they were doing...

 

[Dennisch]

We need a Mercedes engine to go poof.

Rapid disintegration.

Plz.

 

[niky]

His best and worst case scenario are 5th at this point, so yeah.

Then again, Ferrari might just choose to screw Kimi over and keep him behind Seb.

They've got a manufacturers championship to think about here. Danny Ric is overtake-able I reckon.

 

[PeterJB]

Vettel really should pit.

 

[PzR Slim]

Alonso giving up?

 

[BrainsBush]

oooh Bottas pitstop....

 

[niky]

They've got a manufacturers championship to think about here. Danny Ric is overtake-able I reckon.

And they let him through.

 

[Dennisch]

All the time in the world for a pitstop and still they screw it up.

Edit.

Max reeling in Lewis quite fast at the moment.

 

[PeterJB]

Verstappen's last lap was 1.7s faster that Hamilton's.

 

[PzR Slim]

Verstappen's last lap was 1.7s faster that Hamilton's.

Traffic I think.

 

[Dennisch]

Verstappen's last lap was 1.7s faster that Hamilton's.

And Lewis found the pace again.
