    Would be fantastic and I've found a way that it is possible. Basically extend the straight and copy the Tarzan (laser scan it and everything so it's milimetre perfect). Also makes the track far better and overtaking possible.
    +1 Vettel good booed throughout 2013, and much worse than Rosberg/Hamilton last 2 races. Those people should **** off and go watch football or something.

    Start was a farce but I found the race really entertaining!
    Alonso was 10th. Think you're looking at something else by accident :D
    I don't know, it seems pretty obvious 7th was not registering anymore. Apparently to fix an imminent failure IS allowed, but the fix may not be performance enhancing upon the previous setting. What does that even mean though?! is that calculated on the moment the gears failed? Or the lap before. Typical F1.

    Agree. What would have been the outcome if there was no communication? Nico would have lost more time, but most likely would have finished the race.

    I think the distinct difference between Baku and Silverstone car setting was that Hamilton was simply in the wrong mode that prevented his car going faster, whilst here we had a clear failure of the car and that solution IS allowed. As far as I can tell.

    But Nico asked how to bypass 7th, and race engineering instructed him. At the end, we did see Nico's car stuck in 7th for a bit.

    It has to be to information to avoid a terminal failure.

    Christian Horner has already noted that the after the information was received by Rosberg, he had all seven gears in operation again, so how terminal could the fault have been? - The Stewards will decide that one (and hopefully it won't take too long!)

    I think it'll be Vettel in 10th. He had that 5 sec penalty for running Massa off track, and Kvyat was only 1 sec behind the Ferrari.

    Massa was behind Ham at the end, so I think he was more than 5 sec behind Vettel.
    That late change to softs didn't work so well for Massa.

    That's all presuming the FIA doesn't go stormtrooper and DQ Nico.


    Speaking of Ham: he really lived up to that tag after the race. :p

    I hope the FIA doesn't get on his case for running out into the infield before getting weighed out.

    It's getting to be a crap shoot what rules they'll enforce, ignore, or suddenly pull out of their sleeves.

    For all that chaos in pit lane, early, the only car tagged for "unsafe release" was the one sent out with three wheels.

    They've got everything going on except good old fashioned on-track racing.
    (Most passes outside the pits are DRS or tire expiration.)

    Vettel finishes 9th, even after the 5 sec penalty.

    Well in fairness earlier this year they openly told Lew "we can't help you" and now they are openly willing to test the rules. I'd be rather pissed as well.

    May be by sending that transmission they deliberately tried to harm Nico and help Hamilton knowing there would be consequences. You never know.

    Who knows and good point. It's a very easy way to get your other driver ahead sans team orders. Rosberg ahead by a minute? Just say 15 ''illegal'' things. Job done.

    I have a hard time believing with all the brains at work in that team that such an oversight would occur by accident.

    Dear F1,

    Absent monsoon/tsunami conditions, can we please not have any more safety car starts for the races?

    Thank you,

    The fans


    *conspiracy hat on: boy, "they" must have really wanted an British driver to win the British Grand Prix. *conspiracy hat off

    I think I enjoyed about 7 of the laps today, but they weren't all in a row, hahahahahhaa!

    Rosberg gets 10 secs and drops to 3rd.

    Was hoping a draconian precedent wouldn't be set. When they started bantering about "race exclusion", that seemed far too extreme given the situation.

    Stupid penalty. The rules are so ambiguous. A better solution would have been a reprimand and a clarification of the rules.
