MODERATORS
For those who are complaining: Jules Bianchi died under similar conditions in Suzuka 2014.
If anything, it took too much time to red flag the race. Zhou was in a very dangerous position.
If everyone had been on full wets then it would have been fine behind the safety car, but they don't pit because they expect a red flag. Catch 22
I am angry because zhou's crash 2as unnecessary. He was going way way too fast at that point. If he had not crashed, we could have possibly seen the race continue with people switching to the wets and since the field was spread, the spray would have been less of an issue
Yup, and more recently Dilano van 't Hoff in Spa. :โ( Okay, that was Formula 4 and not 1, but similar circumstances.
The reason for the red flag will be because Zhou was in the firing line of anyone going off at turn one. Even at low speeds it could be fatal if someone went off into his stationary car or the recovery vehicle.
Exactly, in the Bianchi-incident Sutil was very very lucky that he didn't get killed.
They did exactly what they've done before. Reset positions per the last available sector timings.
Yeah but then you're putting the marshals in danger by having them recover the car with cars on the track in such conditions
It would be minimal risk--honestly not that different than dry conditions. Double yellows in that sector would mean cars are just creeping through.
Not really. Did you see the replay of Hamilton going off track?
