Well hang on, aren't these the same stewards that banned that GP3 driver for being a victim of someone else's incident?

Which means they'll probably ignore an offence as severe as going too fast under yellow flags.

They'll probably ban the driver that caused the yellow flag.

FIA have called Pirelli & the teams to an emergency Sporting Working Group meeting on Wednesday in Paris.

Thank fuck for that. Knock some fucking heads together and get these new tyres out for Hungary.

I know it's pretty usual these days but there were far too many random yellow flags today that had no replay or explanation of what caused them.

Considering the events every time one happened everyone in the pub took a massive intake of breath and began panicing, lol

Still, even if it's just someone running wide, it'd be nice to know what caused them rather than having to panic.

Yes, Michelins.

Yeah Pirelli can go supply NASCAR since they've seemingly copied Goodyear's modus operandi.

So FOM should show replays of someone picking up debris all the time??

Yeah. I'd like to know the reason for the yellow than just it being left to our imaginations. Especially in a race like today.

Have a middle ground and announce what the yellow is for at the bottom of the screen.

kals · PostPosted: Sun Jun 30, 2013 4:41 pm

No Echti, what FOM should do is add into the on-screen graphics an identifier for where the yellow flag is. I've mentioned it before that it cannot be difficult to sync up marshall's posts with GPS technology to relay information on-screen

Pitlane channel has it.

Awesome, that is just great. That is perfect for those of us who have no access to that and simply watch the host broadcast.

At least it is a solution.
I don't really know what the problem is to be honest. If it is a bigger incident that caused a yellow flag you will see it. Either the TV director cuts to it or provides a replay later on (and don't bring up the Monaco TV director as an example for it).
There is no need to cut away from a battle for instance just to show us a yellow flag for a tiny part of debris or someone going wide.

They're not gonna change shit, maybe a fine and a reprimand but the race will stand.

If today's issues were due to using too much kerb, it all goes back to not having a strip of grass where the kerb stops to discourage drivers from overrunning imo.

What an amazing race, tyre situation sucks balls, especially as it cost Hamilton a possible victory! Also sucks for Webber, he deserved this one, was in top form!

I didn't ask for that, just an identifier. Having the yellow flag symbol but not identifying where is why is as good as having no yellow flag symbol.

Though it could be argued that if he hadn't made his customary lousy start (Putting him in the way of the mid pack scrap...) he would've won today....

So that's why he wants to race sportscars: rolling starts.
