2024 Monaco Grand Prix - Monte Carlo, May 24 - 26

which rule are you referring to? The one I know says

"In all cases the order will be taken at the last point at which it was possible to determine the position of all cars. All such cars will then be permitted to resume the sprint session or the race"

When Grosjean went up in flames, they used mini sectors to determine the order. In other cases they used the normal sectors. Today none at all.

Laps need to be completed before red flag to establish an order

They explained it on viaplay that all cars need to be through the first sector to establish an order. Not so much finishing 1 lap. But not all cars did ofcourse.

as I mentioned above, in the past they have also used mini sectors for this, and "the order will be taken at the last point at which it was possible to determine the position of all cars" would still allow this.

Everyone but Zhou had completed S1 before the red flag btw. So they probably didn't use it because he was stcuk behind the crash

[Cs98]

Wondering if it will count as running two compounds when the first sector wasn't even completed, hopefully not or the only exciting aspect of the race is gone.

[LHamilton]

Perez and Magnussen share the blame on this one. Magnussen does though have more blame on him, but I dont think Perez is totally innocent in this situation. It does look like Perez is looking in his right mirror the entire time going up from turn one. It almost look like he expects the HAAS (Magnussen) to ease off, but he doesnt and there is a crash. There is a little bit of a squeeze and Magnussen should back down. But there is an argument for a little squeeze from Perez, espescially with how the barrier cuts in later on the "straight". So.. I dont really mind a "racing incident" situation on this one.

[Sevach]

Bye bye Ocon, no fixing that.
Everyone changed compounds.

[Matt2725]

Should have forced same compound for restart IMO since they're effectively restarting the race, albeit one lap less.

everyone but Sargeant got new tires and wohl be allowed to go to the end.

Hamilton saying I tokd you to Bonno. I think it's about the fact that there was an early SC so he shouldn't have started on the harder tyre.

[Tvetovnato]

Now top 4 will pace themselves and do high 25s until lap 60 or so.

Correct.

Russell will burn through his mediums behind Norris. Hamilton staying way back from Max protecting his

[Spacepace]

Russell is going to try to overtake on track. He's really pushing

Also well done to follow the rules on red flag restart order, no laps were completed before red flag

Laps need to be completed before red flag to establish an order. Otherwise back to grid order, minus cars that can't continue

There is nothing in the rules that says the lap has to be completed, just a race order has to be established which it appears it has been.

As Sevach pointed out, there have been other situations where the racing order has been established via sectors.

If the situation was reversed would you still be singing the same tune?

Actually they used minisectors as we can se Stroll restarted ahead of Ricciardo.

By the way, funny thing from the rule book. In a race, a pit stop is not necessary, only a tyre change.

[214270]

Engineer needs to tell RUS to be smart, whole race on Meds buddy, wake the fcuk up and manage your tyres.

[Sevach]

Very optimistic from Russell.
