Stint length violation for the #14 Emil Frey Jag as well.

At this rate the winner will be the car with no penalties by default.

Jag pinged/pung for the same thing again.

Drive-through for #7, I did think it was a bit strange that Smith could keep the charging #28 (Rast) behind for so many laps...

7 immediately goes way over the white line on pit lane exit. Watch this space for a penalty.

Gone a long way up the road, hopefully the distance travelled means no single huge impact.


Mercedes are moving forward, still betting on them to win.

Lasse should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
According to my amateurish calculation, you can save one pitstop during the race by taking the stint lenght to the limit, compared to pitting every 60 minuts and having a safe margin. Feel free to shoot down my calculation

Maybe the race engineers are taking in to the limit? And getting it wrong sometimes.

You're right but that makes the assumption it's all green. The FCY and SCs mess with it too much. Its usually worth pitting under FCY even if it's 10 minutes early or so.

Off course, and they do get an extra 5 minuts when theres a safety car, right?

Just seems weird so many teams getting it wrong, even if only for a few seconds.

Agreed. But as Graham Goodwin said, maybe the rule is written in an odd way that's caused this. Its unusual so many teams get tripped up

Only one recovery truck in site so I assume we're not getting barrier repairs this time round.

So despite penalties all round, both works Bentley are still on the lead lap. Audi however are looking particularly strong. Wonder if we'll wake up to a Mercedes on the lead lap tomorrow morning.
