Rosberg going for it now

 

[Yagami_Sama]

If they could use those signs at the pity wall showing the time, they could pass some instructions there like what they should press or is not allowed?

 

[Zeknurn]

It's a shame Kimi picked up that penalty because it would have been nice to see him on the podium. Especially if EJ is doing the interview.

 

[ElTorro]

Every time everbody anticipates crashs and safety cars nothing happens.

 

[RoKKeR]

Not sure why I've forced myself to watch this whole thing, so damn tired.

Yet here we are.

Perez podium is great. That's about it.

I have a hunch it may be Enrique Iglesias, since he seems to be around quite prominently.

 

[nny]

(More like, "Well done baka")

Also, do not forget that Baku welcomed all of us.

Checo!

 

[djplaeskool]

This is an awesome track.

 

[marvelharvey]

You know... shouldn't it be part of the job of the driver to at least know what all the buttons on the steering wheel do? I mean, sure, he doesn't need to be a master at it, but basic troubleshooting should be part of the complete driver package, shouldn't it?

My sim racing setup has grown and grown to the point where I have too many buttons. Last week I bought a label-maker and now there's no forgetting where the 'right tyres only and 20l of fuel' button is. Anyway, I'm done with the label-maker now, perhaps I should send it to Mercedes?

 

[Tempy]

Perez ready to sign that Ferrari deal.

 

[Deadman]

The contrasting fortunes of Perez and mclaren is pretty strong evidence for karma.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Kimi needs to go

 

[hwy_61]

GG Sergio!

 

[djplaeskool]

Fucking perfect run for Nico

Also love how hype Force India guys are. I'm becoming a fan.

 

[brotkasten]

Did the Sauber just go off in the run off area, after Rosberg crossed the line?

 

[EnlightenedMint]

So happy for Perez.

 

[kharma45]

Did the Sauber just go off in the run off area, after Rosberg crossed the line?

Yes

 

[Hasney]

Yee-Ha

 

[hwy_61]

Nico killed it, man.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Good job Perez. Another podium. So that ferrari deal is quite possible.

 

[Hasney]

It's amazing how being shitcanned by McLaren has been fantastic for Checo.

 

[brotkasten]

Yes

That was so funny to see.

So happy for Perez and Force India.

 

[hwy_61]

I hope we get another shot of the mariachis

 

[RoKKeR]

That Mercedes celebration, fuckin' cornballs lmao

"You-hooooo!!!"

"Yeeee-haaaaa!!!"

 

[NHale]

Sky saying Lewis race result was hampered by engine problems. No Crofty it was his mistake yesterday that fucked his race. You can't excuse a driver anymore than Sky does with Lewis and Jenson. Unbelievable.

 

[DieH@rd]

Had to do it

 

[djplaeskool]

Haha, I love the shots of people waving those Azerbaijani flags through the fence.
I'll restate, this is a great circuit in a great location.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

What a boring race!
I was expecting at least a SC to spice it up but nothing ever happened.
Pirelli needs to nerf the tyres. Its like the Bridgestones all over again. One stop races everywhere.

 

[brotkasten]

Had to do it

Rally good job.

 

[Deadman]

So surprised there were no crashes at all

I think the track is quite decent.

 

[dakun]

Lol all drivers happy. That's new

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Well that was a fairly clean race. Was expecting more people losing it.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Had to do it

LOL
Was that the corner where he was locking up all weekend?

 

[brotkasten]

LOL Lauda.

"Both cars had the problem. Nico just fixed it quicker."

 

[Deadman]

Lauda says Nico had the same problem and fixed it early.


Ted unhappy they didn't just cheat and tell him.

 

[massivekettle]

Sky saying Lewis race result was hampered by engine problems. No Crofty it was his mistake yesterday that fucked his race. You can't excuse a driver anymore than Sky does with Lewis and Jenson. Unbelievable.

That's absolutely right, though. Without this problem 2nd place was easily doable. He was 5 seconds from VET with 25 laps to go.

We had that before but Red Bull whined, Silverstone happened when teams run with tyres under the minimum pressure and now we get this.

There is no way to win. But the multiple types of tyres available helped create different strategies.

Ted: "Just tell Lewis the engine mode Nikki!!!"

 

[hwy_61]

Well that was a fairly clean race. Was expecting more people losing it.

Definitely. Especially with the super narrow part. I was expecting lots of tense moments. I'm happy that it was a safe race for all though.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

LOL Lauda.

"Both cars had the problem. Nico just fixed it quicker."

Wasn't Rosberg complaining in Canada about the alarms? Maybe he read the manual.

 

[dakun]

Lol rosberg hurt himself. Gif that

 

[NewDust]

Lol rosberg hurt himself. Gif that

This please

 

[hwy_61]

Hah!! Love the excitement outta Sergio and force India. Really cool to watch

I wonder if steering wheel UI is going to be something that will be developed on. That's actually a pretty crazy challenge. You need a glancable UI that can be used to control all the little details of an F1 car. Your user will be driving over 300 km/h while using it.

I mean, yes, training the user is part of it, and there may be rules against what you can show, but this should not be an unsolvable problem. And today kind of shows that in a race, it can actually matter.

 

[Zeknurn]

Lauda says Nico had the same problem and fixed it early.


Ted unhappy they didn't just cheat and tell him.

Well shit now I almost want to watch Sky f1 postrace.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Seeing those buffoons being salty about Lewis is much more entertaining than the race was.

 

[Norwegian Rudo]

LOL Lauda.

"Both cars had the problem. Nico just fixed it quicker."

There was a point where his lead suddenly dropped quickly. It was 19 seconds or so and suddenly it was 14. Of course the commentators never noticed because they were bitching about Lewis.

 

[DrM]

Wasn't Rosberg complaining in Canada about the alarms? Maybe he read the manual.

Yeah. He probably went over it with his main engineer after the race

 

[ramparter]

Yup, but he quickly reacted so I though he was just controlling his pace. Maybe it was that part.

 

[hwy_61]

How baller is the life of a an F1 racer. They literally have a stairway of 10s to climb up.
