That penalty just seemed like a total joke but I don't know the penalty rules well enough to know if they had much choice. A penalty that still leaves you with the advantage just isn't a penalty at all, it's like those £10000 fines they give sewage companies.
But a good if very disrupted race, and ridiculously tight at the end. Hypercar is bloody awesome now. Just a shame that the worst conditions came at the worst time, wet + dark must be incredibly difficult. I did like those spells when they were all mixed up on tyres and suddenly a hypercar on drys was barely faster than a GT because they're so crippled at low speed (and I think the GT class has driver aids?)
I'd love to actualyl go one year but that looked pretty miserable 🙂 Plus, it always seems like you almost need the first year just to learn how to even spectate?
Have to agree that 5 sec penalty for Ferrari didn’t seem enough!
Porsche over filled their no6 car on the last pit stop, I think they had 26% energy left at the end.if they’d put in 20% less fuel they’d have got on the podium.
Have to say i think the Ferrari penalty was OK. For me a racing incident and as it was at the point where the conditions were changing it probably played into their hands
if they caused a collision then it should be at least a drive through. Hypercar is great though. Apart from the useful SC interlude to get some snooze there was stuff going on all the time.
Spectating is easy provided you're prepared for the camping side. that was one of the worst weather weeks I've had there but it wasnt even that bad with the worst weather over the race. But we have a gazebo to hide in and wet weather gear for when it rains trackside. the last couple of years have been mid heat wave and have been unpleasant in other ways.
