[Jinjo]

Norbert Haug is REALLY happy

Pointing out the Mercedes emblem on everyone's outfit lol.

Is that true? Wow, especially when Alonso is 3rd.

 

[olore]

I wonder if Lewis will get a penalty, he certainly made more than one movement, though I'd like to see the replay again. It wouldn't surprise me if the stewards called him in to explain his actions.

Saw that too, would be a downer if so, we`ll see if they call him

 

[Yen]

What team did Mercedes rise from? Brawn? Which was BAR?

Mercedes > Brawn > Honda > BAR

 

[PedroPanache]

Hamilton penalty for what? gif?

And Webber fourth in the WDC too. Poor bastard lol

Good finish for Mercedes engines, too. Top 3. Potentially 4 if not for Schumi.

After passing Vettel, he defended his position by making two movements down the start straight. It would be a harsh penalty, but technically he did make more than one movement.

WOOO YOU GORGEOUS, BEAUTIFUL MAN

Holy f. That's epic nice find

Mercedes > Brawn > Honda > BAR

I miss BAR. I have TONS of BAR apparel. My sister worked in Lucky Strike marketing back in the day It was one of the reasons I got into F1 when I was young.

I don't think so.

He'll just say he was following the racing line which drifts left and the racing move he made was back to the right.

Get race loved every second!!! Well done Nico, Flawless victory

 

[navanman]

This is the closest season yet. No car dominating. Williams looking like they have a great car too.

Good to see lewis looking happy with 3rd, i expected him to be sulking again

 

[brotkasten]

Best part of the race was the Massa train and Kimi's podium finish!

Mercedes > Brawn > Honda > BAR

Honda got majorly screwed in that deal. I think they sold everything to Brawn for like a pound and didn't insert any sell-on clause, so got nothing when he sold to Mercedes.

 

[Shaneus]

Williams is fucking fantastic today for me in F1RM. Currently have them as engine and STR as chassis, will try and put my eggs into one basket when the winnings are sorted.

Poor Button though. Probably my second favourite driver on the grid, never disappointing to see him do well. Hamilton did great as well.

Have to say, McLaren with easily the best, most consistent car of the season. Constructor's is essentially guaranteed.

Raikkonen 14th? That's shit. Decent car, poor team management :/

Yeah Maldonado has been looking particularly punchy, anyway good race.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[PedroPanache]

I don't think so.

He'll just say he was following the racing line which drifts left and the racing move he made was back to the right.

The rule is "More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted. Any driver moving back towards the racing line, having earlier defended his position off‐line, should leave at least one car width between his own car and the edge of the track on the approach to the corner."

My reading of that would suggest that Hamilton should be fine.

they ( williams ) improved a lot from last year. really nice to see senna and maldonado in the points

 

[Adamm]

It's their own fault, they just wanted out as quickly as possible

 

[Britprog]

Good to see lewis looking happy with 3rd, i expected him to be sulking again

He is leading the WDC, didn't make one mistake, took over many cars without hitting one of them (I was cringing when he overtook Massa)!!!

All this with a bad start to the weekend with a penalty for the gear box change.

So good weekend overall for LH.

Huge financial risk on Brawns behalf.

 

[hobz360]

Rosberg looks so tiny right next to Button and Hamilton....

 

[paskowitz]

What a great race.

 

[Timbuktu]

It is very difficult to work out who really has the advantage. McLaren still seems to have the best car, but not outright dominance and the rest has been so inconsistent. Does Williams or Sauber have the better car for example?

 

[Dilly]

The constructorchampionship, what?

 

[Pterion]

Good to see lewis looking happy with 3rd, i expected him to be sulking again

He's leading the championship. It's not that bad.

 

[Shaneus]

It was an excellent race, great job by my pit crew
*glass slam*

The constructorchampionship, what?

RBR on 106, McL on 55 lololol

 

[brotkasten]

The constructorchampionship, what?

Yeah, that was really confusing.

"when did Alonso make 72 points?"

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Ross seems to be easier going as he gets older. He's smiled as much for this win as he did for an entire season at Ferrari.

Man, both him and Schumacher. I think not being in an infinitely-superior team has humbled them.

Glad Williams are finally picking up, too. Happy birthday Frank, enjoy your points

 

[Nolan.]

Also have to say Kimi got shafted with the strategies today he was so strong in the beginning then tyres faded. Damn looking at the start again the Mclarens were really quick off the line. Plus surely the BBC points system is wrong with Redbull ahead in constructors...

 

[Gareth Bale]

Bruno looks about 18

 

[moojito]

Probably showing last year's constructors table by mistake.

 

[brotkasten]

Bruno looks about 18

And he's already 28. It's a shame he entered F1 so late. His career is basically over.

 

[Shaneus]

Vettel has Webber's #2 driver facial hair from 2011

 

[brotkasten]

I love how Vettel didn't mention Webber when he talked about being overtaken on the last laps.

 

[SunhiLegend]

That must have felt good.

 

[paskowitz]

I love how Seb is happy even in defeat.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Lotus fucked up Kimi with his race strategy, shouldn't have ended up in 14th

Edit: BBC showing overtakes during the race, SKY still interviewing people. Haven't shown any footage of the race so far.

 

[Shaneus]

That must have felt good.

It did for me. Can't imagine how stoked Webber must have felt. Great to see him take Vettel, especially considering Vettel had a bit more choice with tyres given his 11th pos quali.

But man, those Williams. I think they'll be up there with McL, RBR and Merc within the next year. I hope, at least.


Ahaha. Check that shit-eating grin. Fucking loved it.

 

[Igo]

It's their own fault, they just wanted out as quickly as possible

True, but how do you not at least have a sell-on clause in the contract.

Huge financial risk on Brawns behalf.

To the best of my knowledge they were still putting money into the team even after the name change.

How much risk did Brawn take on when the bought the team?

 

[Dilly]

EJ doing an Austin Powers impersonation there.

 

[navanman]

Webber taking his flying moment to heart.
LUV U!!

 

[Shaneus]

So, what to watch now? I have access to the Sky stream and BBC iPlayer. This is fresh territory pour moi.
