FORMULA 1 GROSSER PREIS VON ÖSTERREICH 2016: RACE *** SPOILERS ***

He doesn't deserve one title, let alone four. Even in Britain lots of real F1 people hate the prat, it's only the nationalistic people who support him because he's a Brit, they used to support button, and coulthard at a push, and mansell before that, doesn't make them the cleverest bunch, nor the most discerning.

 

I want to see Max in a great car. And what Alonso is having to deal with is criminal. Miss him running at the front. The sport would be better for it. (That goes to Jensen too)

 

+27

Actually I think Max is in the right car right now. He still is very young and needs to learn a few things. Looking at him I see so much of the young MS.

 

Correct, we don't want to "produce" another Elton!

Gap from Rosberg back to Lewis at the moment of Vettel's tire failure (which caused the safety car), was actually 3.5 seconds.

 

Weird that it said 6.9 on the global timing then .

 

+1

RBR look to be in a good position for next years title race IMO. Still a lot of tokens to be spend by them, their Japanese gp update will bring them an estimated 20bhp.

Interesting that Suspension load (i.e. don't hit the kerbs anymore), and specific corner at that, IS allowed, yet brake failure warnings are not.

 

That's bizarre and idiotic

 

Sebastian's Tire exploded on Lap 27 whilst leading the race.

Lap 26
1) Sebastian - Gap
2) Nico - minus 1.215 seconds
3) Lewis - minus 5.955 seconds (minus *4.740*)

Lap 27
1) Nico - Gap
2) Lewis - minus *9.460* seconds
3) Max - minus 10.355 seconds

Lap 28 & Lap 29 Under Safety Car

Lap 30
1) Nico - Gap
2) Lewis - minus 0.938 seconds
3) Max - Minus 2.338 seconds

 

Whats funny is that no one even knows that the penalty is for receiving instructions. Is it a warning? A penalty point? Reprimand? 5 sec penalty? Drive through?

According the above, nothing.

Had they given Lewham or Kimi instructions on how to fix their issue in Baku...who knows? Even Brundle & co didn't know.

 

Thank you.

 

Even more stupid. Overregulation without thinking through

 

True, only a fool would write off Newey and new regs

 

Rosberg did not deserve a penalty - Massa


Massa's view. Basically echoing some of us, doing the thing any racing driver should do, but just the exucution wasn't quite there.

 

Pirelli says that Vettel's tire down by debris

So, bad luck again.
