Grid to reform in 2 minutes. However that's not a short process.

You're not missing much in Monza. Second safety car and we're only 45 minutes into the race.

Akrapovic · 13 May 2018, 11:18 (Ref:3822024)

Don't worry, I'm being a massive nerd and have both on anyway.

Mitchi_S · 13 May 2018, 11:23 (Ref:3822028)

Anybody know who hit the Titus Viper so that it crashed?

That's a proper set-up.

Victor_RO · 13 May 2018, 11:41 (Ref:3822035)

5-min board was just given to the lead group.

Is timing right? 4:25 gap between #4 and #912.

airbusA346 · 13 May 2018, 11:59 (Ref:3822041)

Green!

Negative, 0.5 seconds! green!

airbusA346 · 13 May 2018, 12:00 (Ref:3822043)

Hmm... how long till it goes red again, due to the fog.

Akrapovic · 13 May 2018, 12:07 (Ref:3822046)

This is craziness. Makowiecki is absolutely on it.

airbusA346 · 13 May 2018, 12:14 (Ref:3822050)

Shame they haven't got an onboard for #912.

airbusA346 · 13 May 2018, 12:15 (Ref:3822052)

Slow zone/Code 60 at Caracciola/Karussel.

airbusA346 · 13 May 2018, 12:19 (Ref:3822056)

#912 leads.

Akrapovic · 13 May 2018, 12:20 (Ref:3822057)

My word that was exciting!

airbusA346 · 13 May 2018, 12:27 (Ref:3822058)

BWT Audi crashed.

I think it was the #24 of Haase but not sure.

#4 Mercedes bangs the armco!

airbusA346 · 13 May 2018, 12:28 (Ref:3822061)

#4 hits the armco.

Irie · 13 May 2018, 12:28 (Ref:3822062)

Christodoulo hits the barrier

Akrapovic · 13 May 2018, 12:29 (Ref:3822063)

Quite a hit but it seems ok! And he's only 3.7 behind. That's one bad backmarker.

airbusA346 · 13 May 2018, 12:34 (Ref:3822064)

This is crazy.

Articus · 13 May 2018, 12:34 (Ref:3822065)

This is where the drivers earn their paycheck. I can't even imagine the pressure Makowiecki is under. He could bin in it in a second.

airbusA346 · 13 May 2018, 12:45 (Ref:3822071)

#4 has eased off.

Akrapovic · 13 May 2018, 12:45 (Ref:3822072)

I disagree with the commentator who said the track is worse now. There's more standing water, but that isn't why there was a red flag. Visibility is better and that's what it's about.

The #4 Mercedes is on an epic fuel saving run now. One last twist?

And Manthey have form for not having enough fuel to get to the end. The weather is such that I still wouldn't bet against more mistakes from the lead pair, but in the #4's case it's a shot worth taking.
