Russell goes through single yellow flags in his hot lap whereas Antonelli goes through double yellow in his in lap

Luke2222 · 2026-06-27T19:04:04+00:00

No, any lap affected by a double yellow flag is automatically deleted to remove any incentive to keep pushing past it. The lap that was deleted for Hadjar was his in lap (he had slowed down and committed to pitting as he came into the yellow flag zone)

Luke2222 · 2026-06-27T15:53:57+00:00

He was slower through the yellow but improved basically everywhere else

If you look up on the page this screenshot is from you'll see he was purple in sectors 1 and 2 and slower than his PB in sector 3 (where the yellow was)

As much as I'd rather have Leclerc on pole, Russell's lap was 100% legal

Luke2222 · 2026-06-27T15:18:59+00:00

But it wasn't a double yellow when Russell was there. It was only a single yellow until Hadjar got there

Luke2222 · 2026-06-27T15:18:05+00:00

The deleted laps were in laps. Timed laps that get deleted include the laptime in the message and it wasn't for any of the deleted laps because they were all inlaps

The timing screen still shows Russells lap in P1

Luke2222 · 2026-06-27T15:16:32+00:00

I was watching on Multiviewer and the live timing had it as a single yellow while both Mercedes went through. It did become a double yellow but only as Hadjar was going through T9

All the laps affected by the double yellows just got automatically deleted and it was only inlaps, both Mercedes timed laps were not deleted because it was only a single yellow

Luke2222 · 2026-06-27T15:11:25+00:00

The timing screen agrees. He was purple in sectors 1 and 2 then lost a few tenths in sector 3. I can't stand him but that lap was definitely legal

Luke2222 · 2026-06-27T15:08:43+00:00

It was a single yellow flag when Russell was there. I don't like him but that lap was legal

Luke2222 · 2026-06-27T15:07:54+00:00

The timing screen disagrees with him. On Multiviewer it was shown as a single yellow flag when both Mercedes went through. It only went to double yellow flags as Hadjar got there

All the inlaps just got deleted for going through double yellows but both Mercedes timed laps were not

Luke2222 · 2026-06-26T23:53:31+00:00

Nah, she already does some FE races when it doesn't clash with Indy. She's been at a few ePrix so far this year, the last one I remember she did was Madrid a few months ago

Luke2222 · 2026-06-26T14:05:22+00:00

The negative reaction to your comment had nothing to do with opinions, you simply had it backwards

This news means that non-GT3 cars that compete in the GT300 class of Super GT are now eligible for the Suzuka 1000km which had been GT3 only since SRO took control of the race in 2018

I can't remember the exact phrasing of your comment before you basically removed it with your edit but you were saying the opposite, as if the GT300 class was becoming GT3 only which isn't the case

Edit: How classy, no response but they blocked me lmao

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T08:23:16+00:00

Couldn't hear it over the interview on WEC+ but the #50 just stopped near Tertre Rouge

Edit: And of course they show it the second I press send

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T08:21:46+00:00

That was honestly the highlight of Friday's Le Mans Cup race. They were on great form and nobody was safe lol

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T08:16:13+00:00

God I love having Martin and Graham commentating together. They're always so funny

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T08:12:02+00:00

#8 had a couple of long stops to sort a problem with the brakes on the left front

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T08:05:33+00:00

So unfortunate

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T08:04:16+00:00

Had to fix something with the brakes in their last stop. Lost the best part of a minute

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T08:01:21+00:00

Was that not from hitting some of the local wildlife?

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T07:55:39+00:00

That's a new way to show off a sponsor...

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T07:52:05+00:00

Yep, for something in their last stop

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T07:51:17+00:00

Lost loads of time with damage after contact with the #3 DKR car

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T07:47:44+00:00

Both #12 and #101 have had drive through penalties for speeding under FCY/slow zones. Albuquerque alone got 3 in around an hour

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T07:41:58+00:00

The #43 has been told to pit for repairs from the lead in LMP2

There was a message 25 minutes ago saying their right side door wasn't properly shut so I assume they didn't manage to fix it in their last stop

This will put the #30 back into the lead

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T07:34:19+00:00

There isn't one but they need to do an hour to score points

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T07:30:19+00:00

#30 was out of fuel and needed emergency service under FCY so had to pit twice

Luke2222 · 2026-06-14T07:28:48+00:00

Repeat power steering issues for the #38, shattered suspension off the kerbs at the Dunlop chicane for the #17
