How did Ricciardo end up in 18th?

He had a 43 second pit stop, they had to jack the car up 3-4 times as rear right wouldn’t go on. That totally ****ed his race

Should the rest of the competition take encouragement from the fact that Max didn't lead every lap of the race? Norris led for a few laps in the middle, after Max (and most of the rest of the field) pitted for tyres, after Stroll did a very Lance Stroll thing.

Of course, the only reason Norris led was because he didn't pit - but it did mean that he (and by extension all of the drivers ahead of him) was still close enough to the lead to be in front when Max emerged from the pits.

Holy crap, that’s insane, Bearman did an incredible job considering the circumstances

First thing Ollie is going to do when he wakes up is talk to the team about setting him up with a Neck Day routine in the gym

I’ve just watched the replay and I knew Sky F1 were going to be insufferable with another Britt in the race but FMD I’ve never heard such a one sided bias call. Makes blues radio last year look very even handed. Omg I just wanted to throw stuff at the tv, Crofty is totally pissing me off.

Htf did Nando not get a penalty for a jump start? Oh he’s British that’s why.
Well done to Oscar

Despite being in the middle of deserts, there is something about the Middle East races - much like Las Vegas - that leaves me cold. I think its just the over-hyped manufactured plasticity of it all and dollars over tradition.

And to add to that for anyone outside of the UK, having to listen to Croft and Chandhok as commentators makes watching the race almost unbearable .

Better get used to it or just not watch I guess because this is where F1 is now.

so good to see peco standing up for horner and telling peeps to stfu and let him do his job. max should grow a pair and tell his father to do the same.

Thanks, would be nice if the Brits would tell the world some of this information. Something has to be done about Sky f1. I tried to watch on the F1 app but the picture quality is terrible.

 

[largebus]

Apparently Norris didn't trigger the transponder at the start because his movement was within tolerances.
Multi gazillion dollar circus can't even afford accurate timing and scoring equipment.

 

[BomberFan355]

So far, looks like RBR are even more ahead of the competition than last year.

 

[Macca19]

Good result for Oscar. Race was a foregone conclusion. Thought Bearman did really well in his debut.

 

[Black_White]

Not a bad race to watch.
I enjoyed watching Piastri struggle then overcome his vehicle.
I enjoyed watching Cheko actually use the car to somewhere near its potential.
And then I get stuck in a quandary. Bearman. He’s British. But right now he exhibits none of the things that make us dislike the British drivers. Like the overt arrogance and whinging from two in particular.
At the moment I like him.

P.S. Hope Dan is enjoying his time driving, because he has 22 drives to go. If he’s lucky.

didnt watch f2 last year did you

The bloke is an 18 year old filling in for a race for Ferrari. Of course he isn't going to be an egotistical whinging campaigner.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Watching the race replay now and wanted to say that, you could clearly see HAM open up the wheel into PIA mid corner. Such a ******* sore loser when it comes to racing in traffic.

Yeah and he did the same thing last year at that exact same corner with Oscar. He’s a dirty campaigner

Offttt thats gotta hurt:

F1 Academy: Doriane Pin loses victory in Saudi Arabia after failing to realise race was over

Doriane Pin penalised for failing to notice F1 Academy race in Saudi Arabia was over; French driver handed 20-second penalty and drops to ninth with Britains Abbi Pulling elevated to winner; Sky Sports F1s Damon Hill criticises decision, saying lights should also indicate end of race

[BomberFan355]

I was watching it, was wondering why she was still going flat out. Even the team had no idea she was still going. Was a worry if anyone was out on the track back at the start/finish line.

Can she appeal?
Damon Hill is spot on.

Yeah from the reports I've read she was asking the team how many laps were left after she had crossed the finish line (The chequered flag was really hard to see according to a few of the drivers) and the team were too busy celebrating amongst themselves to respond to her to let her know she had won.....

Really sounds like a massive brain fart on behalf of the team here...

There's obviously a reason such a rule exists with such a penalty so harsh but I'd be filthy with my engineer if I were her. That's not good enough from the pit wall.

 

[gaskin]

Why can't the marshals wave red flags when the race is over? Surely that is easy enough to implement to make sure drivers slow down so a repeat situation doesn't happen.

Yeah i was, i feel sorry for her.

If you haven't seen it, that's what they had to do so she'd slow down.

 

[DamoESP]

I'm trying to find the official documentation on the penalty to see exactly what rule was broken, but everything I've read on the F1 Acadamy website seems to indicate that was penalized for taking the chequered flag twice, and not so much for speeding after the race was over etc.



Watching that seems she slows as soon as they red flagged the race, you can see there is no indication from marshalls etc that the race is over at all until the red flag

It would be better served as a fine and points on the licence rather than a race penalty IMO - by definition the race has already finished at that point so penalties against your prior performance seem ill-fitting given you haven't been advantaged in the race by your actions.

And what makes it look even worse is that they have already have a precedent for such an incident...its normally a 10 place grid penalty applied to the next race, which is what the penalty should have been here as well. Pin should have kept her win and then got a penalty for the next race.
