I think without the sausage kerb, that could have been a copy of Billy Mongers accident, a car coming back onto the track like that is dangerous in any situation.

was this in the sprint or feature race?

No doubt Merc were the ones who tipped the FIA

How would they know?

The other teams are exploiting it, but Mercedes are suffering with it, they didn’t try the extra (second) stay out for ‘shits & giggles’

I’m not sure it’s the same thing.

I think Mercedes’ have a wobbly floor at the edges where it’s not supported due to their sidepods. And the flexing floor thing is a people actually changing the angle of the floor down the centre line.

Seriously cant see why they cant just remove all these sausage kerbs, and put a yellow/white line on the outer of the kerb (in replacement of the sausage kerb) and make the rule of no part of the tyre can touch the line. Stick some pressure sensors in it and it will enforce itself and no if's or buts about whether a car touched the line. Much safer, and also enforces the reason for the kerb whilst removing the risk of accident at the same time

A bed of gravel in place of the grass would have slowed that car down significantly, and could even replace the kerb because you wouldn't want to cut the corner and get gravel on your tyres.

The whole thing was caused by whoever went wide at Copse; when he came back on he ‘chopped’ the guy behind and then squeezed/pushed him onto the grass. Looks like he was simply a passenger after that. I would hope that a penalty was issued to the other driver.

This is to do with flexing of the plank, not the floor edges

Some time ago someone posted a photo of weird plank wear pattern. Was that RB's or HAAS plank?

Yeah, not the same thing though unless Mercedes second stay magically stiffened the plank area too

I think Nissany went wide, chopped back onto the track and squeezed Hauger onto the grass. Hauger then T-Boned Nissany.

That's what I saw happening too indeed. Very happy that we have a halo to prevent injury.

Yeah, once there was contact and he was on the grass with a broken front right, he was always just a passenger. Gravel would have slowed him down as the tub would have been down in to it, but on the grass there was not much deceleration going on.

Very poor show by Nissany. But luckily for him safety is a high priority.

Any strategy/ expected pit stops posted yet? There is a band of what looks intense showers heading in from the west
