F1 - General discussion and 2016 Season

[Binary_Bark]

Absolutely - this is a track that they could do it... not to mention if it rains.

Watching this week's Inside GP and no wonder Ferrari is not catching up, Arrivabene is more concerned about the "show" of Formula 1 than the "cylinders and power discussions"

So they put a marketing guy in charge and not an engineer...

 

[Willie Trombone]

Whoa... Vettel has a ****y car. What's that about? Talk about poor setup - or maybe somethings broken...
Vettel's not going to make it I think...

*EDIT*
Yep, Vettel is out - they've got work to do before tomorrow - that car is as ****y as it gets.

 

[Willie Trombone]

So my wish for today...
1) RAIN, and more RAIN
2) Rosberg and Hamilton get bogged down at the start and are passed by the Ferrari and both Redbulls.
3) No mercs on the podium
4) Hamilton finishes ahead of Rosberg
5) Ricciardio wins with Ice Man second and Max third.

let's just say you've got more chance of an asteroid hitting your house today...

Anything is possible...

Anyone see the Leguaan crossing the road?

Does Halo testing include monitor lizards? :0

 

[Binary_Bark]

first lap safety car, this can go either way I think

 

[Willie Trombone]

Rosberg in a league of his own. Hamilton's car isn't setup well I reckon. That suspension looks too stiff.

 

[Dave]

Anything is possible...

No, it's not. You do realise that Vettel was starting last?

 

[Willie Trombone]

Raikkonen taking Hamilton has been the highlight of the race so far, let's hope it gets better.
Good move by Kimi!

 

[Dave]

Street circuits are proving rather boring with the current cars...

Can't someone take out a wall to inject a little excitement into the race?

Yep. These cars are just too big for this circuit. Lol @ merc to Hamilton 'ok, you can go now'
Aaaand in to the pits. He may just take Kimi's spot... looks like Ferrari are second guessing.
Yep... now they have to hope Hamilton makes a mistake. Fortunately for Mercedes they don't have to take the place on track. Good move by Ferrari? I don't know... ultra soft on Kimi vs Super soft on Hamilton.

One more stop for Rosberg today?
*EDIT* yep - one more for Rosberg.

Safety car now please!

Yes, Ferrari making a cock up of tactics again...

 

[Willie Trombone]

Oh... now that I can live with... Ricciardio catching Rosberg.
SAFETY CAR!!!! That would do me nicely

Sadly Rosberg can just turn it up a little and job done.
Even sadder was the excitement of the commentators on the last lap lol.

 

[Genisys]

Great job by Rosberg. Hopefully he maintains the lead in the championship. We really need a new world champion. We also need new commentators that doesn't get excited every time Hamilton gets close to the acceleration pedal of the car.

 

[caroper]

Rosburg has an 8 Point lead, 6 races remain and if Merc beat RedBull by 8 Points or more in Malaysia they secure the Constructors Championship.

If the Constructors is secure then it is gloves off.
The last 5 races could see the Rosberg and Hamilton risking all to win.

The British commentators' praise for Hamilton borders on fellatio.
