Post here all non technical related topics about Formula One. This includes race results, discussions, testing analysis etc. TV coverage and other personal questions should be in Off topic chat.
Listening to Hamilton's team radio, and the commentators, it was mentioned by bono for Lewis to look for the boards to tell him whether a standing or rolling start was required, due to radio restrictions.
With the standing start it became a second formation lap, and radio comms to the driver are (kind of) forbidden during formation lap. Remember how Magnussen got a penalty for discussing pitting during the formation lap a few races ago?
