If Rosberg gets points it will be a miracle but I'm not counting him out yet. The upcoming SC period will be a great help.

 

[Pizza Luigi]

Rosberg upshifts from 3 to 5 and from 5 to 7. What does that imply?

 

[Psychotext]

Wow, Rosbergs car is fuuuuucked.

 

[theignoramus]

If Im Rosberg and am in no position to score any points, I want to retire and save the engine.

 

[nny]

Damn, look at that Catherham running away.

 

[Caramello]

If Im Rosberg and am in no position to score any points, I want to retire and save the engine.

Yeah I'd definitely want to save the engine.

 

[Mokubba]

Save the Power Unit.

I doubt they can rescue this race for Rosberg.

 

[olore]

Rosberg upshifts from 3 to 5 and from 5 to 7. What does that imply?

Double clutch gearbox aka PDK?

 

[Ty4on]

Rosberg upshifts from 3 to 5 and from 5 to 7. What does that imply?

Maybe the paddles themselves.

 

[Slackbladder]

No point for Rosberg to continue. Best to save the car.

 

[Juicy Bob]

David Croft really wants Lewis Hamilton to take this title, doesn't he?

 

[Ark]

Around 10 laps until he gets lapped apparently. Wow. Horrible luck

 

[Shaneus]

Save the Power Unit.

I doubt they can rescue this race for Rosberg.

And the world weeps.

 

[aspiegamer]

So the car is jumping 2 gears on upshift? Or is he manually doing the jumps? Is one of the twin clutches amiss? That's a bit of an odd thing to tie to electronics though unless the wiring is just -dead-.

 

[marvelharvey]

Best to save the car.

Or crash into Hamilton when he tries to lap

 

[navanman]

Hamilton pulling out nice lead now, better on his tyres than Vettel

Rosberg's car changing up 2 gears instead of one so he has to change down for each gear he really wants.
Pit lane limiter not working too.

He is going to work his gearbox very hard if doesn't retire.

 

[Milchjon]

Pit speed limiter doesn't work either.

 

[DrM]

Rosbergs car will probably explode during the race, nothing is working

Hamilton pulling out nice lead now, better on his tyres than Vettel.

Mercedes is much faster today compared to qualifications.

Twin clutches? Don't they have sequential gearboxes?

 

[jey_16]

I hate when people pit early....forces everyone else to pit and fucks everything up

 

[Shaneus]

Hoping they bring in Danny to undercut Vettel. Fingers crossed.

Or do something for him to get past his teammate.

 

[ramparter]

Rosberg upshifts from 3 to 5 and from 5 to 7. What does that imply?

Really bad acceleration in simple terms.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Cuddler]

Congrats Ferrari, always with the best strategy.

 

[aspiegamer]

Twin clutches? Don't they have sequential gearboxes?

Hum. That just makes it even stranger.

 

[Mokubba]

Just when I thought Vettel was keeping Lewis honest.

Gap now over 7 seconds.

 

[Psychotext]

Vettel losing loads of time now.

 

[dakun]

That was fucking rude.. I'd imagine Williams would want better harmony

 

[Ty4on]

Will they push Rosberg's car out of the pits

 

[thenexus6]

I missed the first four laps what happened to Rosberg?

 

[Deaf Spacker]

What was that about?

 

[brotkasten]

It's crazy that we can consider a 3.3 second pit stop slow these days.

 

[Milchjon]

apparently Rosberg's clutch won't work and he has to keep his foot on the gas while they change his tires.

 

[Gareth Bale]

"stand down"

 

[Psychotext]

Thought Hammy might 2 stop just to take the piss.

 

[Chris R]

How many sets of the Super Softs do teams have left?

12 (SS) - 24 (SS) - 36 (SS) - 48 (Soft)

With the SS tire being ~2-3 seconds a lap faster I'd be on them all race but the final lap if possible...

 

[Zeknurn]

Rosberg's pit stop procedure sounds dangerous.

 

[Deadman]

Why are they trying so hard to get rosberg to struggle to 14th

 

[massivekettle]

Lewis could have continued and 2-stop this. Lewis's last proper lap in his first stint was faster than all but 2 VET laps. That's how fast Merc is.

 

[Igo]

God damn, people really don't like Rosberg anymore.

 

[Foshy]

rosberg coming into the pits so slowly looked hilarious :lol

 

[Memento Mori]

That cheering.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Rosberg is screwed. Not his day.

 

[Milchjon]

 

[ramparter]

When the whole internet hate you, electronics will fail you as well.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Rosberg can only change gears, he's out of the race then if they can't fix it before the first pit.


these steering wheels need binning for next season.

Nailed it!

 

[nature boy]

Fucking idiots cheering

 

[TCRS]

aww shit, can't select the gear.

crazy how their cars were more reliable in the beginning of the season and now one problem after another.

 

[pulsemyne]

So long Rosberg
