Pirelli are jokesters, FIA are scammers, Masi’s a scumbag.

Safety car should have been out immediately. What was the latency there?
RedBull demanded red flag.
That’s separate to what I’m talking about. The race carried on without even a safety car for several seconds. Leclerc even complained about it.

There was a car strewn across the straight. Pretty bizarre choice. Was Masi watching the footy or something?

If I’m Hamilton, I do not want Mr Lock up directly behind me at this restart. Surely Vettel will not risk the podium with a reckless move?

Why not end the race behind SC...

"Michael, I know you're busy, but we had zero warning on that tyre" - Red Bull's Jonathan Wheatley told Michael Masi. "Consider throwing a red flag so everyone can change tyres"

That is quite a different approach from threatening with protests.
It’s a completely different thing. Very odd comparison to try and make.

Pirelli are total jokers. It’s either managing the pace for 80% of the race. Tyres that won’t take a lap or two following another car. Or they fail.

For the “spectacle” it just isn’t good enough!

Let’s not even start about Masi with his continuing moving off the goalposts

Can you imagine if Hamilton tried a move on Perez and they both just Prost off the track into the wall? That would make the forum here even spicier

AGREE! That interaction with Mclaren/Masi was amazing

To be honest though Max was off line??
That had nothing to do with it.
Oh really? I state an observation and you state a strong claim? Lets wait till Pirelli investigates. But Max was definitely running far right than normal.
with Stroll they had the suspision it was debris, with Verstappen it became clear its a --- tyre failure thanks to Pirelli who were claiming the hard tyres can hold on.

same with your comment on DiResta, because DiResta was right, Verstappen havent done 1 thing wrong and is now, instead of 15 points ahead, 13 points behind.

would you have reacted the same when this had happened to Hamilton or when Verstappen or Stroll needed to be brought to a hospital?

sorry i needed to get this off my chest .

Can anyone remember when Pirelli started to make the tyres in another factory? And where that second factory is?

That would be the most sensible approach but this is Massi we're talking about here

Perez drove thru a bunc of debris. Lewis too. So it was a risk anyone tyres could have had a puncture. Imagine Perez tyre going flat behind the safety car... Ha. I see why they called it.

With crap all over the start finish straight on tyres that could go bang at any point? I think it’s a little obvious.

At face value it looks like a Pirelli problem. Same sort of incident in the same part of the track, with similarly aged/worn tires.

That said, Stroll was way off line looking for a tow, and Verstappen likewise, pretty close to the wall when his incident occurred. Could very easily be debris causing a puncture, especially as we've seen it here before (e.g. Bottas).

Very unlucky for both of them though.

When he feels it's the opposite he goes and opens a fairy tale thread claiming fia intentionally changed floor rules to damage mercedes. :lol: :lol: tells you all you need to know really.
