Seen it elsewhere in other series.
Can cause an imbalance in results if one group gets a clear session and the other suffers red flags.
Thought Hadjar’s near miss in the Tunnel showed skilful reactions - could have been very nasty.

Definitely a code brown... https://x.com/ahmed_baokbah/status/179399756976660...

Wow!

Wow!

I giggled watching this. Reminds us - they're not the same

Well the weekend is about to get started, F3 sprint race going off in a minute or two.

[paulguitar]

That didn't take long.

[Sandpit Steve]

Well they all got around the first corner with no incidents.

After that, not so much.

Loving the technical foot stomp on a front wing to seperate the cars

With the drivers watching on, thinking “Oi, I have to pay for that damage!”

[Adrian W]

Why ruin any chance of a race with a rolling start

[Adrian W]

Christ an overtake, it's only taken 13 laps

[Adrian W]

That was dire, if they are so concerned about the environment don't bother running it

More like my dad will have to pay for this …

[Sandpit Steve]

The only person who enjoyed that race was the sales manager from Dallara, eyeing up a new yacht in the harbour with the proceeds from all the spare bodywork parts used today.

So far this weekend every support series session has been entertaining one way or another

What will the F2 sprint race bring...?

Sorry but describing the F3 race as entertaining is a very long stretch

Well, a comedy of errors perhaps.

See the start of F2 sprint just now for more of the same.

[paulguitar]

Took even less time than the F3.

[Adrian W]

Aaand.............race race ruined

Car was recovered before the safety car came out, someone could have got out there with a broom

[TheDeuce]

Oh dear..

[Adrian W]

That was st. Anyone who tries to overtake looses a bit of their car

[TheDeuce]

I don't think losing the bit of wing is his biggest issue anymore...

But for sure, you can't pass here without a very high chance of contact - but he was out of the points so 'why not'? It's worth the risk so long as you can afford the repairs.
