Keating Motorsports Ferrari is off.

Edit: Tree'd. Couldn't reach my phone quickly enough. :lol:
 
He's beached. I wonder if he just missed his braking point?
 
Man, Aston has really had it this year :/
 
Jani was able to shut the door on the #1 Rebellion properly ;).

Alonso is still in the lead.
 
Toyota #8 had it's wheels spinning before the car was down on the ground, penalty?

Saw that too, but isn't that only a penalty in the IMSA series?

Someone got penalized for it in the night for spinning their wheels. RLM says that it could be their hybrid that caused the spinning wheels, when they turned it on.
 
Alonso reversed in the pitlane previously and now they've spun the wheels while up in the air.

I think the reversing was proved to be not the case, apparently Toyota showed the stewards some video of the car being pushed back. This one though the evidence is clear.
 
Haven't seen any mention of any investigation on the spinning wheels from the stewards.
 
Commentators are saying something about the hybrid system kicking in, but they also said others were penalized earlier in the race (presumably for the same reason)...

You can't start the engine until the car is on the ground.

Not sure what the exact rules say. But Toyota leaves the pit box under full electric, then it starts its engine sometime after it's moving.



Edit: Watching the lollipop man, raises his lollipop too early, and then he tries to take off, but he's still in the air.
 
Surely regardless of how the wheels are moving, whilst up on the jacks it’s still a danger to the pitcrew? So there should be a penalty.
 
Benson Jutton on Eurosport, such a nice personality!
 
#52 with another stop-go penalty for SZ speeding, this time 2 minutes.

Edit: Bummer, #69 in the garage with an electrical fault...

Alexander Wurz just said that #7 is not allowed to race #8 anymore with the exception of safety car and driver error on #8.

Time to bring the cars home in these last 2 hours.

I am strictly against team orders but from a team management point of view I can understand it.

Yeah, I would love to seem them race. But I doubt Toyota wants to let this one slip by because of driver error.
