clock count down started from 16mins not 20?

pretty tight to include a pit stop!

[pincher]

Probably a daft question but do the F2 teams use the same pitlane and garages as F1?

Same pitlane, they are housed in a different padock out the back.

If they make it that far then can they pit on the last lap and cross the line in the pitlane? Or is that also blocked in F2?

The control line is before the pit boxes, so no, they won’t have used both types of tyre if they try that.

Ah, ok - was wondering about that. Makes sense. Thanks

The 20 minutes started as the pit lane opened, with one slow lap behind the safety car.

In absolutely no way did Boschung do a single thing wrong defending from Zhou.

Why investigate it?

[JonChalk]

..oh and that will be a red flag as well.

[TheDeuce]

Oh dear... Hardly a surprise though!

Well predicted

This is all a bit of a mess...

[kambites]

They might manage it under safety car if there's a convenient crane... or not.

Fair point

[TheDeuce]

I'd looked forward to this race too

Absolute waste of time. And tyres now they've all pitted as I doubt they'll be getting any use out of them..

It's quite clear that even the most minor of misshaps is going to result in a safety car or red flag.

It might be daytime before the F1 race finishes.

I’m watching that one with interest because the Max Verstappen rule makes it okay.

Edit: I believe it was noted actually, rather then under investigation.

[Sandpit Steve]

Oh well. That will be that.

[Adrian W]

That’s one way of finishing it by 4 o’clock
