After a reasonably quiet first half of the race, two incidents due to tyre wear mixed things up considerably, resulting in Sergio Perez taking the win at Azerbaijan, joined on the podium by Sebastian Vettel and Pierre Gasly.
It seems almost like they're doing some kind of halfway two lap warm up.
The speed increase is not in his favour, for sure! But I hope they go easy on him. It was a lot to process all in a few seconds and there was no harm done, really.Mogster wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 14:46He attempted to pit but didn’t, then he increased speed for no reason. I can see there’s a defence for not pitting as he was going quite fast, but the speed increase after is harder to defend.El Scorchio wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 14:42Sounds like Norris was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t there. Choice of either speeding in the pit Lane or ignoring the red flag to pit. I hope they don’t penalise him.
But if they do, it absolutely annoys me that they do it after the session. It completely screws over the person in 16th who may have had an opportunity to get further up the grid in Q2.
It is very surprising. Looks like Hamilton threw all his eggs into the ‘let’s just try and be as fast as possible down the straight and lose as little as possible everywhere else.’Restomaniac wrote: ↑05 Jun 2021, 14:58Do you know what this does? It has RedBull doubting everything now.
I don’t think anyone (Mercedes aside) thought we would be seeing this.
