WTF is Jolyon going on about safety vehicle on the track being unacceptable? It's a red flag...
Race is going to restart.
Pirelli isn’t the problem. They can design a tire to do whatever they’re contracted to do.mendis wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 07:28Agreed 100%.

Supposably Gasly saw one on track while he was circulating around. Sam made up some dumb stuff about how the Japanese do things, as if he is an expert on racing operations there (he’s not), which just got Jolyon fired up more.
on German Sky Seidl just said that they could probably qualify on Inters in those conditions at the moment, but in the race the problem is a lack of visibility, and with full wets it's even worse, as they come with more spray. He didn't expect the race to continue.
I think because gasly was on track when there was a tractor ?
Have they not failed to produce the committed quality in 2019/20, that lead to regulation change cutting downforce for 2021? Even then, Pirelli kept bloating the tyres with higher and higher tyre pressures? Sorry, they have not produced the required quality ever. Even this year, the fronts are not sturdy enough that is causing understeer.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 07:38Pirelli isn’t the problem.

They are somehow suppose to design tires that are fast, hold up to the weight of the cars, and put on a good show, and really only two of those can exist at one time.
It wasn't shown and I doubt it will be shown, because that is disgusting from whoever sent the message to the steward. Especially at this track, given the historyorganic wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 07:41I think because gasly was on track when there was a tractor ?
Not sure if they've shown a replay of it on main feed:

There isn’t a manufacturer that wants to touch this ten foot pole. Pirelli is mandated to develop tires that work while also produce a show, meanwhile the FIA does their own thing and continues to make the cars heavier and heavier. The tires can’t be all things.mendis wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 07:42Have they not failed to produce the committed quality in 2019/20, that lead to regulation change cutting downforce for 2021?

there was a red flag when he passed it, and Gasly going way too fast.BlueCheetah66 wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 07:42It wasn't shown and I doubt it will be shown, because that is disgusting from whoever sent the message to the steward.

Sam's an idiot. He is constantly corrected for saying dumb stuff. I'd rather hear Scarbs in that booth.Hoffman900 wrote: ↑09 Oct 2022, 07:40Supposably Gasly saw one on track while he was circulating around.
