I assume they're doing it now as people are in. They want to complete it all this week and are working 6 - 10pm each evening. It was supposed to have been done in March but got cancelled because of the lockdown.

The other teams were aware the pit lane was closed, which caught commentators off guard, when they didn't pit.
Hamilton going to the stewards to during the stoppage didn't help his case.
My shiny new door is now fitted and peace and quiet has returned.
They didn't even tell me they were finished/leaving but the door is on and the new keys were lying in the hall. The nice thing is that the new key is similar in size to a traditional Yale lock key whereas the old one looked like it belonged to a Medieval castle so my bunch of keys is now lighter.
Not sure about the 1/4" gap below the door though. The old door had a rubber sealing strip.

I suppose it's bearable if the end is in sight. Our lot began removing facilities in February and then disappeared during the lockdown. The scaffolders are working so slowly that I think they're actually still in lockdown and there are no finishing dates for any of the jobs.

You've no doubt got another visit planned by the See You Later Insulators. We've got public works people with names like Mitie and Engie. Yours is just plain SYLI.My shiny new door is now fitted and peace and quiet has returned.

I'm just thinking,i haven't had a chip (as in fish & chips) for nearly 3 years. Could this be a world record for those who eat chips,albeit not very often?🤔

I couldn't find any mushy peas in the supermarket tonight. Did we have a mushy pea shortage at the start of 'lockdown'? Anyway,i settled for processed peas. Looking at the label on the tin they don't seem to be very healthy. They taste good though,so i can't complain.🌼

From what I understand, the timing for the pit lane being closed and Hamilton pitting from the lead was pretty marginal, which is why it took so long for the penalty to be imposed. Unlike Giovinazzi, who got his stop & go pretty quickly, but then he had been some 30 seconds further back down the road.
The reason he went to the stewards was to see the footage for himself - which is entirely permissible.

Why he felt it was unfair for him to be given the same penalty, for the same offence, is the bit I don't like. He knew about the Safety Car being deployed, which also caused the pit lane closure.
If it'd had been a blue flag for someone in front of him, he'd have seen it.

Bono has to take part of the can here as well, as he's the one who made the call to pit. Communication is always team to driver.
Plus the point that was raised on the radio and then later TV coverage, was that the signal repeater boards were on the outside of Parabolica, which is not in the driver's eyeline. And initially, there was only a single waved yellow flag.

Marshalls called off the track, but they were moving the car under double waved yellows, at the point where he'd pulled off the track proper.
Bono isn't the only one that should take some of the blame either.

At least he didn't *reverse* in the pit lane a la Mansell (Portugal '89). That would've been an instant black flag.

I felt sorry for Sainz, second at the time and close, but no stop.
