It doesn't matter whether it's a tyre issue or whether the kerbs are somehow causing the damage, or even a combination of the two - you can't say "stay off the kerbs", it's just not practical. I don't think this should be restarted. God knows what they'll be able to do in time for the Nürburgring next week.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Restarting this is like hoping they get through this without something massive happening. Bloody dangerous gamble

Getting ready to re-start. It must be difficult for the drivers, they cannot have great confidence in their tyres.

 

[The Bear]

Not that difficult obviously as they are all over the kerbs again!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hamilton driving well now. Shame his race has been utterly compromised by these shocking tyres. Just get this done without a major incident.

 

[The Bear]

I don't mind if Vettel has a nice timely blowout on his in-lap.....

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Sutil holding people up, so third place is still possible for Hamilton.

 

[The Bear]

Sutil still in 3rd and doing a great job. Alonso coming at him though.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ricciardo having a great race. More debris...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ferrari going to be bang to rights for an unsafe release I think

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Hamilton pitting at last.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Some great Hamilton v di resta racing there.

 

[Nando]

Yeh, that was great to watch.

 

[Nando]

Merc tyres don't seem too bad now...

 

[The Bear]

Unlucky Sebastian :clap:

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Oh noes. Vettel has a problem. Gutted.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Vettel gearbox gave up the ghost

 

[darlowolf64]

Oh noes. Vettel has a problem. Gutted.

Oh I'm heartbroken for him..... :disco:

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Safety car as vettel leaves it in a Schumacher-esque position of risk

 

[Nando]
