Interesting to see how one faulty timing sensor/transmitter can impact:
- the live timing of the TV broadcast
- the DRS activation mechanism of your own car
- the DRS activation mechanism of the following car
Because they all rely on that data

Interesting to see how one faulty timing sensor/transmitter can impact:
Because they all rely on that data
Yeah, that's not really acceptable, especially not for the following car. Because teams will know this and use this. By accident ofcourse...
God Merc has bungled Kimi's race here. Surely they'd prefer track position instead of the extra stop at the safety car?
That overtake from Norris on Leclerc was majestic. Damn good race this!
Looks like Red Bull discovered a new way of bottling pit stops, faulty release light.
It's been a slow decline since they hit that world record pit stop and then Merc cried about it and had the rules changed. Ever since then Redbull has just been getting slowly worse with the pit stops. Today was particularly egregious.
It sounds weird as a redbull fan, but I was just happy both of them ended up on the points it was such a disaster filled race for them. Car seemed to just be a shit box all weekend. Pit stop fuckery basically put both of them at the back. Just a weekend to learn from for us....
There were some gremlins out there today for sure
Charles always in shit situations, still giving it all
Now its the TV Director. Where the fuck is the timing tower?
Probably hidden because they're having problems with Russell's transponder.
Edit: now they showed it again in lap 44 you can see Russell's time was not changing while everyone's time was.
I believe they switched to the old-school method of "gaps updated when passing the starting line" at that point, since overtakes were not being shown in the timing tower
Russell's transponder is messing things up
Terrible by Mercedes to have Kimi get undercut like that and get stuck in a DRS train after those nice overtakes he pulled.
Piastri is the real deal
Imagine winning a race and 7 days later you run in last.. while being Max Verstappen
THREE STOPPER? Merc are either brilliant or throwing Kimi's race here.
idk if Ferrari's pit strategy is good, but at least they gave us some entertainment
I'm not entirely sure I understand what is going on though, with Antonelli getting softs with 29 laps to go.
So that's how Ferrari's strategy dept is going to screw things up. Hards!?!
They have to choose something other than medium though. At the very least they are guaranteed track position with a tyre that should take them to the end.
Softs might have been better, will see.
It's entertaining to see what happens at least. And to think I thought I could take a nap during the race. ๐
I want to see VER's overtake on GAS
It wasnโt in the last corner as the timing would have suggested but in the first part of the last lap.
Crazy how Leclerc still doesn't seem to have enough authority to call his own strategy. We ofcourse only hear soundbites.
Though I don't get again why they didn't split strategy.
I keep thinking there are engine failures on the straight
What a start from Norris
Yeah, but under investigation for a false start it seems. Quite a shame if he did since most penalties are 10 seconds now.
Edit: that replay is pretty clear.
Verstappen called it even before the start.
Only 5 second penalty, good for him but seems like a very light punishment. Like Palmer is saying he'll take that any time for that advantage. Edit: it's not even misplacing, he literally tried to start too soon.
Yep, he can afford that.
Whelp that safety car was pretty convenient...
A full safety car for some debris sweeping? Smells like meddling in here...
I'd hope Gasly can finish in the P5 but with the drivers behind him, it looks like he'll need some dnf's.
For some reason I still expect Verstappen and Lando on the podium. But Piastri really should win. Hopefully McLaren strategy doesn't screw him.
Inspector Verstappen always catching and reporting Norris' errors haha. Just like last year.
Last time it was George who called it.
Sorry I meant the 2024 Qatar GP where Verstappen noticed that Norris didn't lift under yellow flags and reported it.
https://sports.yahoo.com/verstappen-wins-qatar-gp-norris-181544286.html
I meant the 2024 Saudi GP where George called it and Norris got away with it (no penalty).
Is it me or are the Ferrari's leaving more plank on the tarmac with all those titanium sparks?
With the way Verstappen is struggling and overheating his tyres, it seems Yuki theoretically has a chance to finish before him.
Forza Red Bull! Grande strategia! ๐ญ
What happened to the Race director, why is the safety car still out?
Russell's transponder seems broken lol
CHARLES DON'T LISTEN TO THEM NOOOOOOO
What a move by Kimi.
Ooh
Max on mediums and Kimi on softs.. how many stops are they planning to do??
Mclaren is just taking the piss with that radio call.
