Ooh here we go! Wonder if someone like Albon will gamble on full wets
It is too obvious it's annoying
Perez went off.
Ocon could have pulled off a gamble
Ocon 
looks like a good decision now.
looks like a good decision now.Perez!!!!!!
This is going to get Red flagged
Ocon may stop being cross soon
Let them run on full wets before calling safety car ffs
No red flag please.
FFS they aren't even on full wets don't call the SC
Red flag! WTF are Red Bull doing to Perez?
Noooo red flag. Let them race FFS
What's the point in full wets then
Alonso waited for red flag
Luck for RB with the virtual SC letting them put full wets on
FFS red flag it was getting exciting make them put full wets on. It's pathetic

Stupid sport. A bit of excitement and they call it off.
For the safety of Zhou, i think red flag is correct
Red bull fighting with Alpha tauri for worst decision ever
Though Alonso second place is fantastic
Though Alonso second place is fantastic
Yup.
Completely agree. Been the most exciting race in ages, we had the inters Vs full wet gamble and now we just lose all that excitement.
There's no other sport like it.
It's stupid that cars stay out on inters because of a possible red flag. Perez shouldn't be penalized for doing the right thing for the conditions.
It's too wet to race now.
Classic spineless wittich
So races in rain are completely off now?
RB could get lucky with a countback if race doesnt restart. Perez goes back to 2nd.
Yes he should. Just unlucky. He gambled earlier in the race and it paid off, now it hasn't.
If they'd left them to put full wets on we wouldn't have needed the red flag.
Can see why Max is questioning it just make them put full wets on they're going off because they had the wrong tyre

The wet tyre is completely pointless.
This rain is pretty heavy. They already raced in rain at the start of the race so a bit of a silly comment really.
Exactly that.
Now, if you werent allowed to change tyres under a red flag, both RBs would be fecked at the restart.
Feels that way doesn't it, remember the days of Schumacher et al in the soaking wet
Bet either they don't restart or it's behind the SC
Only because the other drivers stayed on inters in wet conditions though. It wasn't a racing decision by them, just the danger of a red flag so unsafe.
He was referring to why the red flag.
I think this is it. They don’t want another car aquaplaning under the safety car and going straight into him.
Would be my guess anyway. Surely they can’t just be red flagging because of the rain.
I've seen racing in heavier, prolonged rain. This was a downpour for a couple of mins. Pathetic decision, sums up the entire season tbh. I really detest this 'sport' now.
I can't remember ever seeing red flags in the 90s and 00s, but now it's virtually every wet race. Crap drivers? Just lap them under the safety car. Do we really need to treat F1 drivers like they're toddlers who are incapable of being responsible for their own speed under double yellows and the safety car?
