F1 2023

it was a morning kark

Yes, I get this. Things don't just glide out anymore.

I think it's not absurd to suggest that in the future, especially with new tracks or tracks with resurfacing/changes, that they coincide the weekend with testing of tyres or some form of testing the week prior.

With normal track circuits yes...the challenge comes with street circuits were certain sections of the road have to be closed hours before the start of the race.

You can't ganrantee that what you fixed the day before and tested will still be safe thereafter. In fact i do believe they said the safety car had done some laps before the start of FP1 to gauge/test.

Oh a lot of drama queens on this thread. Let me guess they all support the same driver.

I don't think this is a case of it just failed and it was an exception - it's something they've recognised and instituted a fix for over a dozen. If they ran last week or earlier in the week they would've identified it for sure.

Bit ridiculous but rules are rules.

If ever there was a reason for an exception this would be it.

Wait, so they've removed the spectators from the circuit???

WTF did people pay for then???

And they're the ones who stuck around. Refunds for sure are necessary.

I genuinely can't believe they're going to run a practice session between 02:30 and 03:30. Maybe I'm just old, but those times are ridiculous.

You know how dumb you look, wading into a thread and uttering ramblings that’s got nothing to do with current topic?

 

[quovadis]

Looks like we will get P2 underway. Hope, for the FIA's sake, no more issues.

Ja I think if it was a "known" track none of the teams would do it, but they need every bit of time they can get on track to understand it.
