Christ, DC is so adamant on circlejerking Hamilton that he's lying about what Lauda said.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Vettel has a huge advantage because of Grosjean.

 

[Cigol]

No surprise. His head is right up Hamiltons arse.

That'll be why he has publicly shamed him for being a cry baby etc... maybe in spite of his faults he just respects him as a driver.

Totally agree

I don't agree. By that point, Rosberg had already made his move and Hamilton was too far gone in his own move to bail out. This is a racing incident, full stop.

 

[Zaru]

So Ferrari going for 2-stop?
Edit: Or not

 

[John_B]

Rosberg is way late with that block.

 

[brotkasten]

Mercedes out, Vettel still doesn't win a race. So funny.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Well he goes full speed trying to overtake on the green. That's entirely his fault.

He straightens the wheel before touching the grass in the expectation he will be given space to pass. This is ALL on Rosberg IMO.

 

[ElTorro]

Both were probably surprised the speed differential. Hamilton had a right to try to overtake, Rosberg had a right to make one defensive move. Can't really blame neither of them. Accidents happen.

 

[Foshy]

And that's exactly why I blame Nico. He panicked and he was like, "fuck it I'll just block him. If he passes me it's over". Because he knows he can never beat Lewis.

and in the end the result only benefits him. one less race for lewis to catch up

 

[ramparter]

Ferrari already clueless on strategy?

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Só Vettel will try to do just 2 stops?

 

[spuckthew]

Anthony Davidson on Sky reckons Rosberg didn't even see Hamilton coming up that quickly (didn't look in mirrors) and just kept drifting over unaware.

 

[CaseyTappy]

Great to see Max keeping up with Daniels pace .

 

[olore]

So Verstappen in a Mercedes seat next race.

 

[dakun]

No matter where someone stands on this accident, neither deserve a penalty.

 

[chuckddd]

Time to demote Rosberg to the B team.

 

[brotkasten]

Ferrari already clueless on strategy?

No way! I've heard they hired Williams' chief strategist.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Guys, that gif is usefull to prove your personal agenda against a driver. In the end it was split second decision from a much lower vantagepoint and both contributed to the crash.

 

[nny]

...can we see that Merc meeting instead of the race?

 

[ramparter]

Time to demote Rosberg to the B team.

Williams?

 

[Leonsito]

No matter where someone stands on this accident, neither deserve a penalty.

Agree.

 

[Lemonte]

I hope red bulls can stay on the lead. I got my money on danny - max - seb/kimi for top3 finish.

 

[Diablohead]

I tuned in late and missed the accident but seeing that gif posted above... Wow

 

[paskowitz]

IMO 60/40 Roseberg / Hamilton's fault.

 

[Xando]

No matter where someone stands on this accident, neither deserve a penalty.

Agreed


Max vs Vettel coming up

 

[nekkid]

Guys, that gif is usefull to prove your personal agenda against a driver. In the end it was split second decision from a much lower vantagepoint and both contributed to the crash.

Yeah. It's lovely being able to argue fault and suggest avoiding actions in a slow motion, repeating replay of the incident.

 

[Ennosuke]

Usually this should be an easy win for Vettel, when but Mercedes are out. But this year Ferrari has done a bad job so far.

 

[brotkasten]

I wish they were on a better track. Max vs Seb would be really fun.

 

[ramparter]

Cant believe they dont even show you the gaps in F1 live.

 

[Merino]

I hope red bulls can stay on the lead. I got my money on danny - max - seb/kimi for top3 finish.

Seems like Seb is running faster than the Red Bulls while also being on younger tires

 

[Leonsito]

Lauda very vocal about blaming Hamilton, too much imo.

 

[brotkasten]

And where the hell is Kimi? He was right on Sebastian's rear, when he left the pits.

 

[ramparter]

Holy shit that Honda is sloooooowwwww.

 

[Zaru]

Vettel REALLY wants to have a go now

 

[spuckthew]

Hmm it's looking like Vet might be in with a shot here.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Ferrari much stronger on this compound then

 

[Xando]

Vettel in DRS now

 

[nekkid]

Lauda very vocal about blaming Hamilton, too much imo.

He did the same about Rosberg in Spa 2014. He far too quick to take his reactionary opinion to he media.

Time for him to go from non-executive chairman to unemployed chairman.

Also, buy a new fucking hat.

 

[kmag]

Seems like Seb is running faster than the Red Bulls while also being on younger tires

Ferrari might have actually played this smart (there's enough races that it was bound to randomly happen at some point). It's only a 5 second gap, and Vettel can still in theory two stop although it's at the very edge of feasibility.

 

[nature boy]

Oh if Lewis is punished he'll get a 10 place penalty at Monaco?

That would be amusing.

 

[Zeknurn]

Lauda very vocal about blaming Hamilton, too much imo.

Why? They most likely have a rule in the team where the driver behind should not take any unnecessary risks on lap 1. Hamilton was too eager and the team paid for it.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

For the drama sake, Vettel will pass Verstappen and Verstappen will hit him and both will be retired.

 

[Blastoise]

Brundle's arrogance has gone to his head.

 

[tomtom94]

Brundle's arrogance has gone to his head.

It's nice to see other people starting to notice this.

 

[darkinstinct]

If Verstappen takes himself and Ric out of the race this will be the greatest race of all time.

 

[Upinsmoke]

Hulkenberg on fire

 

[Lach]

For the drama sake, Vettel will pass Verstappen and Verstappen will hit him and both will be retired.

Was about to post this and thought better of it. So thank you for this....

 

[brotkasten]

First Mercedes engine DNF this year?

 

[nny]

Not a day for Nicos today
