It routinely closes. Hamilton was penalised at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix for entering a closed pit lane.

This is probably getting close to the inability to enjoy imsa races thread... But F1 and imsa have VERY different context behind the scenes that dictate yellow usages.

We can take the race control is suspect and fixing the race to somewhere else as we have a race to watch here.

V8, is you could start a “I accuse race control of suspect behavior” thread that would be ace - thanks.

Also for another thread but I'm not enjoying the TV commercials while we are getting to green

Tires being warmed! On the restart.

Porsche wide.
BMW pointing the wrong way!
1st and 2nd super close. Can Nasr hold on - I guess not.

Alright!!! Go Jammy, go!!!

[J Jay]

With Deletraz barging past Jaminet, I can't see Nasr holding off Blomqvist for the rest of the race, as much as I want him to.

Seeing how close Caddy is, I have my doubts too. But... the 31 couldn't put a lap on the 6 before FCY so who knows.

[Akrapovic]

I can't see the 7 holding off the 31.

[Adam43]

Fastest lap in GTD, Molina Ferrari, half a second quicker than the Mercedes ahead.

I was going to say Nasr needs traffic to keep between them.
But so far it’s OK in clean air.

Worst-case for Nasr is getting stuck behind a GT in the bus stop, I think. If that doesn't happen, he might do it.

Traffic probably helps Blomqvist more, with the greater torque the Cadillac has.

Electric Hyundai, and don't bet on NFL, or rather some podcast about betting on nfl

[Akrapovic]

He's doing well, but all the Porsches have struggled getting the tyres through a stint without dropoff. I think this will come to the 31.

[AndreasDavour]

That Caddie looks like it is more planted on the track than the Porsche.

[veeten]

Nasr with the lead, but Blomqvist is closing fast.

[Adam43]

Deletraz lap time 0.7 off the two ahead. Jaminet another 2 tenths off.

Update: Blomqvist new lap record! Just stole it by 0.1s from the Porsche.

It certainly does. Porsche runs wide.

[Adam43]

The warmer it is the relatively better the Cadillac is…

[tomcug]

Nasr had a big moment into Turn 1, stayed ahead for now.

The 31 has been very strong going into turn 1 all race

[veeten]

Yes, Tom, we remember your dad. Stig was one of the greats.

It is really tricky corner, especially in these hybrids.
