Lewis forgot the sandbags in the pit.

 

[nekkid]

Right. This is the time for Hamilton to have Rosberg 2 or 3 places behind on the grid.

 

[aspiegamer]

Hamilton has been trolling the whole weekend it seems. Everyone is way faster this session, though. Everyone in the top 10 is already faster than last year's pole.

Almost everyone wastes his first lap and goes fast on the second, is it the tyres?

There's a magical window of proper energy harvested + tyres at proper temp + track spacing that they're all aiming for. The pit wall probably lets them know if at any point during a lap they've fallen out of it.

Is Pirelli likely planning on using these ultra-softs anywhere else this season?

 

[DrM]

God damn, Williams looks barely drivable

Is Pirelli likely planning on using these ultra-softs anywhere else this season?

Canada?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Fucking great lap from Ricciardo on Supers.

That's gonna make it interesting if it's dry tomorrow..

Singapore.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Why the heck is Ham out again o_o

 

[nny]

That was close for Rosberg...wow

 

[ramparter]

Hopefuly some minor damage for Ros that wont be apparent at first but will actually affect him tomorrow mid race...

 

[Deadman]

Very interesting from ricciardo.

 

[NHale]

Ricciardo and Red Bull with a master strategy call. Supersoft tyres in Q2 instead of ultrasoft. Oh boy....

 

[brotkasten]

Shame about Williams.

 

[nekkid]

Won't it be a waste of ssofts when the track is less rubbered?

 

[nature boy]

That Mclaren-Honda is amazing.

Spoiler

Amazingly bad.

 

[spuckthew]

Why the heck is Ham out again o_o

Practice. They still have a load of tyres left and there's a good chance of the race being wet.

 

[Aiii]

Won't it be a waste of ssofts when the track is less rubbered?

Nah, he'll still be able to stay out longer and hope for a clear track.

 

[nny]

Nico matching Lewis! .013 difference heh

 

[Pterion]

Don't think RBR's strategy will work out the way they plan it, but we will see. I can only see it working if they are on pole.

 

[Spades]

Rosberg. Nice.

 

[Hasney]

Right. This is the time for Hamilton to have Rosberg 2 or 3 places behind on the grid.

Then fuck up something on the first lap, as is tradition this season.

 

[DrM]

Don't think RBR's strategy will work out the way they plan it, but we will see.

Wurz is also having doubts on ORF

 

[NHale]

Won't it be a waste of ssofts when the track is less rubbered?

Stay longer on track even if he's being held, going longer allows him to pit without ending up behing a slower driver that starts on supersofts...

And if he gets pole he can slow every ultrasoft drivers and then take advantage of the clean air while others are handling traffic.

Of course it would be worthless if it rains.

 

[nekkid]

Nah, he'll still be able to stay out longer and hope for a clear track.

I always find those "clever" tactics where they pull an alternative tyre strategy, especially in one-stop races, doesn't ever amount to much.

 

[Zaru]

Wurz is also having doubts on ORF

But he also didn't think 2 stops would work out last race so we'll see

 

[AmaterasuOkami076]

I missed the end of Q2 then, did both Hamilton and Rosberg pull their fastest laps on ultras whilst Ricciardo posted his quickest on Supers?

 

[Pterion]

Marko is on suicide watch...

 

[chadskin]

Hamilton kaput hahaha

 

[brotkasten]

Oh come on!

 

[DieH@rd]

Drama!

 

[nature boy]

#unblessed

 

[nny]

Lewis...wtf

 

[Danielsan]

Hahaha. Return of the PU issues.

 

[AmaterasuOkami076]

Oh fuck off.

Fuck off. What shitty fucking luck.

 

[ElTorro]

Let the conspiracy theories commence.

 

[RSP]

Lewissssssss!

 

[jey_16]

HamLOL

 

[Deadman]

Hahaha

 

[Zaru]

Come on Merc, fix that car

 

[Pterion]

Ha!

I ain't upset.

 

[Dilly]

Rosberg getting gifted that championship this year.

 

[RoKKeR]

Conspiracies, ho!

 

[Hasney]

lol

Rosberg getting gifted that championship this year.

The gods approve of him.

 

[InertiaXr]

Mercedes what clowns

You have got to be kidding me

 

[hamchan]

I can't believe Merc has sabotaged Hamilton's engine again.

 

[John_B]

Hamilton is done for the season. By far the worst reliability of the whole field.

 

[Orbis]

I don't fucking believe it.

 

[Mokubba]

Congrats Rosberg
