    Oh my god that was dangerous from Ocon, Gasly is absolutely right to be pissed.

    Ocon literally did what he did to Perez back at Force India - overtake stupidly and leave no room for his teammate.

    Red flag should be pretty good for the race leaders who started on mediums as they can slap on a set of hards now and likely go to the end of the race on them. Not so good for the Mercedes and Max behind starting on the hards, as they’ll have to either stop for mediums later or stick on mediums now but these will likely not last until the end of the race.

    Very happy for Charles!

    But something needs to happen to this race. As it is now it is a Saturday race with qualifying, the race on Sunday is negligible, boring even.

        Well, this is an old school track so how about we honor the old school ‘adventures’ that made racing so dangerous and exciting?

        1. The water spraying at unknown intervals as you mentioned
        2. Force all the drivers to drink a pint of whiskey and smoke a cigar before they are allowed to enter their cars
        3. Make the guardrails out of bails of hay
        4. Make sure that the runoff areas are running off into the harbour
        5. Mandatory faulty wheel nut, you just do not know which of the four it will be
        6. Helmets made from leather
        7. No visors allowed, just a ray-ban clubmasters

        Perhaps if we introduce these rules the race will become more entertaining?
