No one can pit with Gray's car blocking the entry.

[ANF]

The race would have been more fun had live timing worked at any time during the race.

[Ruusperi]

At least we had some proper green-flag racing today.

Nice points for Flörsch

[milestone 11]

Aron should have stuck to the wets, though in the circumstances, seemed the right move to change. Staggered the wets lasted so well. Inspired choice by all that used them. Enjoyed that.

[Jellyfishcake]

Floresch was a little unlucky then, she overtook Montoya at the start of the final lap, then got repassed along the straight just as Collett came up behind them and got in the mix on the dry tyres 

 

Barnard gets a 2nd and 1st over the weekend, massive points haul for him 

[Muppetmad]

Nice job by Barnard  So what unusual piece of bad luck is going to deny Flörsch this points finish?

Her name was mentioned in some investigation about unsafe release pre-race.

[Frood]

Haven't seen the race yet, but I've seen the result - really happy for Barnard - and Jenzer must feel like all their Christmases came at once!

You've seen the provisional results. There's 8 documents titled "SUMMONS" so far for the race. Yesterday it took over 10 hours to get the final results out

 

EDIT: Obviously they summon everyone who got a penalty in the race as well, just to explain and do everything procedurally correct.

I've lost control over what was announced during the race, but I think these are the post-race penalties:

 

 

And the official result:

[Frood]

Crazy to think that the best single-race points haul by any team this year has been by Jenzer!

 

I think it's the equal third best team result in FIA F3:

Prema 1-2-5 + Pole, Sochi 2019 (57 pts)

Prema 1-2-4, Red Bull Ring 1 2020 (55 pts)

ART 1-3-4, Bahrain 2022 (52 pts)

Jenzer 1-3-4, Spa 2023 (52 pts)

Not only that, but they're now up to 6th and ahead of ART in the standings

[Frood]

Saucy is kind of carrying ART at the moment, and even he's having a pretty mediocre season. Tsolov was promoted too early (though he's finally showing some speed now); Frederick has been way too crash-happy all year.

 

Not as bad as VAR, mind, considering all 61 of their points have been scored by Collet alone!

Remember Formula 3? Well, they're actually racing this weekend, after a months' break. It's the final round of the season, and the championship may even be won on Friday. Paul Aron must take pole on Friday to still keep his slim hopes of winning the championship alive. If he doesn't, Bortoleto will win it.

There'll be one change on the grid, surprisingly not at PHM or Carlin. Hugh Barter has run out of money, so his Campos seat will be filled by FRECA racer Josh Dufek.

It's not as weird as the F2 season finale thing, but still weird.

[Frood]

As posited earlier in the season, Pepe Martí has joined the Red Bull junior team.

[milestone 11]

Red flag Bedrin. Car caught fire, out and safe.

[Ruusperi]

[milestone 11]

Bortoleto has this championship in the bag, should be a good battle between a few drivers for runner up spot.

[Ruusperi]

Red flag

[ANF]

Qualifying about to begin.

[ANF]

Red flag. Accordion crash at the Ascari exit. A train of 15 or 20 cars driving at 50 km/h.

[Ruusperi]

Idiots

[Jellyfishcake]

Predictable Monza qualifying nonsense.

[ezequiel]

And the idiocy begins

[Ruusperi]

Why wasn't this a problem in the 90s?

[jwill189]

It feels like 2019 all over again.

[ANF]

I WANT A TOW. I WILL DRIVE AT 50 KM/H UNTIL SOMEONE OVERTAKES ME.

[ANF]

You're not allowed to drive necessarily slowly, so just hand out race bans.

[Anja]

Maybe they should just do a one-lap shootout at tracks like this. 

[jwill189]

I WANT A TOW. I WILL DRIVE AT 50 KM/H UNTIL SOMEONE OVERTAKES ME.

 

I see that bet and will drive at 45 km/h behind you.

[Jellyfishcake]

I see that bet and will drive at 45 km/h behind you.

 

Until someone goes I raise you 55 km/h and whack, there's a crash    

[Ruusperi]

Red flag again

[ANF]

Dufek touched the sausage kerb as he turned into the second chicane.

[Lassel]

Campos look livid with Marti

[ANF]

Pepe said he needs to put a lap in. As if the team had suggested he should sit and wait (and be caught out by the next red flag).

Edited by ANF, 01 September 2023 - 13:27.

[jwill189]

Campos look livid with Marti

 

Weird when Dufek was so slow. Marti was better off without his tow.

[ANF]

Hmm. Goethe, on provisional pole, goes off on the following lap at Lesmo 2.

Oh, looks like he was pushing for another lap.

[Jellyfishcake]

You've done that one too early Goethe!

[Frood]

And of course the live timing is broken, because the FIA once again cannot do something that most national series find trivial. They're farcically incompetent.

It can't be that ****ing difficult.

Edited by Frood, 01 September 2023 - 13:38.

[ANF]

What the hell are we waiting for?

[ANF]

Bortoleto champion. "Session will not be resumed."

[Jellyfishcake]

You've done that one too early Goethe!

 

Or not, as it turns out? 

[Ruusperi]

What the crap? Session not resumed. They have plenty of time. F2 can be moved forward at least by 30 minutes.

[Marklar]

this is a special edition of "securing pole with a red flag"

[ANF]

And that's why you shouldn't award points for pole.

[ezequiel]

What a waste of time

[Frood]

Of course the FIA makes an absolute hash of crowning the F3 champion at Monza FOR THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW.

(I'm going to be grumpy somewhere else. I'm sick of the FIA being a ****show again!)

[ezequiel]

Colapinto and Martí will have it difficult to go for vicechampionship having qualified outside the top 12
