That was a very dangerous situation but not so much for the driver but for the spectators and marshals standing close to that fence. In Monaco the protection arround the track can't be that safe than on other tracks so it was very lucky that nobody got injured. I wonder where that tire was flying to?Hail22 wrote:Something needs to be done...we don't need another single seater death...not after all the effort to make the cars even safer.
Most likely in the water...I don't believe there is a road/walkway there...due to the velocity it must of fell in the water...mep wrote:That was a very dangerous situation but not so much for the driver but for the spectators and marshals standing close to that fence.

I don't see the issue, he legally took a standard racing line through a corner ie; wide in - apex - wide out.Hail22 wrote:
Isn't the whole point of having the one defensive move
The issue is that the overtaking car went to go one way, was blocked, went to go the other way, was blocked, and then ran into the back of him trying to move back the other way as they ran out of space into the braking zone. The blockee was also having to brake a lot earlier due to the missing rear wing. Dangerous driving to move around like that and it ended up in an incident that launched a car into the barrier. Having reflected on it though disqualification from the event was probably severe enough a penalty, even though that was for another offense.cheapracer wrote:I don't see the issue, he legally took a standard racing line through a corner ie; wide in - apex - wide out.Hail22 wrote:

But the lack of wing was clearly not slowing him up much- he was holding Daly up hugely before Daly knocked off the wing by just running into the back of him at the exit of the hairpin. He didn't become appreciably slower when he lost the wing. GP3 is not aero-dependant at all; jsut look at how skinny the wing is anyway.bhallg2k wrote:I think disqualification was very lenient. He should face a lengthy suspension.
The man's race was over, because he lost his rear wing. He had to retire. So, there was absolutely no reason in the world for his futile and dangerous tactics.
(The reality that he was out of the race was lost on me and someone else for a while yesterday, too.)

There is no issue, at that point of the track it is a right hand bend not a straight for which he took a standard "racing line" through the corner as he's entitled to do. Using a standard racing line as a blocking technique happens hundreds of times every race, every class, every track, every weekend.myurr wrote:

I wouldn't miss it and I've watched every broadcast since '78, it's a dinosaur.wesley123 wrote:

First of, Monaco is a classic on the calender and everyone enjoys it.
It's a legitimate scuba diving team that is trained for motorsport accidents.
