Clown shoes.

- Track not properly prepared
- Cars damaged as a reuslt, have to replace chassis and sub-components
- Damaged Ferrari given 10-place grid penalty because of a battery replacement due to that damage, no wiggle room offered
- FP2 delayed 2-1/2 hours
- Yet despite many waiting, all spectators removed from all stands due to "security teams shifts ending" (and, I strongly suspect, due to the requirement to open up the roads immediately after end of FP2)
- Martin's comment, paraphrased, "it's like a lock-down race".

This reminds me a lot of the 2005 Indy debacle. Michelin made it right for us spectators with refunds/discounts, I hope Liberty is calling in their check writers (and ticket dispensers) to make their Thursday evening ticket holders whole.

Clown Shoes.

This sounds exactly like Dallas in 1984. The track was breaking apart, and the event organizers cancelled the warmup to fix it.

It will certainly be entertaining to watch.... on TV.

Orange is the new black!

Actually, "the new white" (flaggers tradtionally wear all-white).

Actually, White is U.S.A. Qrange is International.

Cool.

What's the difference between a Marshall Post and an Intervention Post (asks the F&C-licensed steward...)?

woken up here on other side of the world.
watched FP2 highlights. pity about the manhole cover in FP1.

got to say its spectacular on the screen.
and its a fast track. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

could be anyone's race.
the tyres are going to decide it and which cars work the tyres best.
it seems to be outside all the normal parameters that have decided the season so far.

possibly not an MV shoe in for once.

To the best of my understanding. . .
There are many kinds of Marshall's. (Flagging, Intervention, Boundary, Radio, Light Pannel, Grid, Pit and more)
that might be asigned to a station. Their only access could be a window in the fence.
An Intervention Post will usually have a break in the wall with access to push or for the lift to remove disabled cars.
It really has to do with the responsibilities of the different specialties.

One of my corner working partners from Atlanta said his "Brother has a 914 beside his house."
I asked "What year?"
He said he didn't know.
I asked about rust?
He laughed, scrolled on his phone, and showed me this picture.
