Oi! It’s an actual racing track…F1 Azerbaijan 2021.

Pirelli got a lot to answer for. Baku straight is possibly the worst place for a tyre to fail.

It's an abnormally long straight and tarmac for public roads.

A chicane will have to be put in.

 

[Bradesmaen]

possibly the two worst teams it could happen to for pirelli. horner and laurence stoll will go mental

If Hamilton was in front it would have happened on the last lap and he would have slid across the line for first.

The Stroll one had me a bit worried for a moment, took him a few seconds to move.

He was fighting to keep it off the middle of the track. Was with it the whole time.

 

[Admiral Byng]

Stroll put a lot of debris on the track, you never know

But then, what happened to Stroll?

There were no incidents on that section or leading into it as I recall before Stroll's trye let go.

 

[FR0GGY]

He was fighting to keep it off the middle of the track. Was with it the whole time.

I think he meant after the crash.

 

[drd23]

Yeah, I was just looking at that myself when Paul mentioned it.

Pretty sure Nico Rosberg called that wall one of the scariest things on the calendar in his preview YT video

He was fighting to keep it off the middle of the track. Was with it the whole time.

It was more after the impact. Was worried he was hurt.

Quite a few cars fired up in the pitlane. You can't take fuel out but you can burn it off. Everyone is trying to lighten the load.

Lol Latifi’s radio saying stay out when in fact they didn’t mean stay out.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Hahahaha poor Latifi.

 

[darth_timon]

I'm recalling Silverstone '13. Also Vettel at Spa in '15. These tyres have a horrible history.

 

[darth_timon]

Staying out... or out out!

 

[FR0GGY]

what the hell is the point of covering that tire?

 

[Magma]

****ing hell the dobbing is priceless

 

[Dav]

getting the FIA to team radio messages is a 10/10 addition to the broadcast this year

 

[Admiral Byng]

Stroll tyre looks like the sidewall has separated from the tread.

Add Vettel in Austria 2016, flying down the pit straight when his rear exploded

 

[Magma]

Stroll tyre looks like the sidewall has separated from the tread.

absolutely has. was a great shot of it on the flatbed. completely sheared away

 

[CrowInFiji]

When is the restart?

 

[Dav]

I just know Hamilton is gonna win this and I hate that I'm sticking around to find out for sure.

 

[Bradesmaen]

I'm recalling Silverstone '13. Also Vettel at Spa in '15. These tyres have a horrible history.

Silverstone last year?

 

[Bedi]

ffs, race or call it off! What is this??

 

[Dav]

When is the restart?

probably not for another 5-6 minutes based on where all the drivers and team principals are at the moment
