Ocon team radio transcription after they swapped drivers.

Engineer : Esteban, we have to let Pierre through, please. Gap behind him two seconds to Hulkenberg.

Ocon : What's the reason?

Engineer : We need to try and attack Ricciardo.

Ocon : Yeah, forget it!

Engineer : Okay, that is a request. Got three laps to go.

Ocon : Are you giving the place back after or not?

Engineer : That's what I'm working on

Ocon : Okay, I let him by. Understood.

Engineer : Esteban, the cars are not swapping places. Push to the end, please.

Ocon : Yeah, amazing. Thank you, amazing. Thank you

Engieer : OK, radio is still on.

Ocon : OK, mate. Yeah, yeah, you're good. OK. Yeah, OK. No comments. Too nice. Too nice. OK, mate.

Engineer : OK, listen. We still came 10th. We've still got a point, OK? It's a long way to go yet. OK, I know, I know, I know. I know it's frustrating.

Ocon : I've done what I had to do, which is the most important, but you guys didn't do what you had to do. That's it.

Engineer : What I'll say is we came P10 and we started right at the back with very little hope of getting anything out of this. And most of that is down to the fact that you drove very well and kept a cool head through difficult conditions. So you should be very pleased with yourself for that. And thank you for doing that as well

Ocon : Thank you. Yeah, happy to be working with you guys too, Dave and Josh. Very happy.

Ocon : Thanks for supporting. Thanks for supporting.

Engineer : Sorry mate, long way to go. Another 15 races, yeah.
 
Three place grid penalty for Perez for Spain next time out for driving back to the pits with a significantly damaged car. Bad to worse for him...
What about that time Hamilton finished a race with a puncture, shredded bits of rubber everywhere? #doublestandards
 
Formula 1 set to rock the streets of Sandton in October: https://www.timeslive.co.za/motorin...et-to-rock-the-streets-of-sandton-in-october/

"... The savage roar of the Oracle Red Bull Racing RB7 Formula One car will echo through Katherine Street in Sandton, Johannesburg, in October when British F1 racing legend David Coulthard puts on an exhilarating Showrun.

Spectators will witness the power and sonic fury of the RB7 for the first time...."
 
Agree. I swear the stewards are just trying their best to be relevant.
SC was totally inappropriate when he could get back on his own steam.
Safety car wasn't about him. It was about strewn carbon fiber and metal bits which could cause punctures at high speed, thereby creating a dangerous situation.
 
Actually I meant inappropriate for him to park it and cause a SC. Was the debris from his shunt? I don't recall TBH.
He should have parked it somewhere safely, ideally outside the track. Assuming he couldn't get there, park it and cause a SC. Not go galivanting around the track shedding weight for others to pick up.
