The nightmare continues:

Just be glad it wasn't Bernie in the Lederhosen.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Any chance of rain for the race?

Any chance of rain for the race?

Just had a look at forecasts and the chance is dropping as time goes on.

Felipa Massa pitlane start after crack found in new-spec wing - revert to old spec, hence penalty

.

Why does Rosberg start from 6, and not 7 ? I thought the penalties were applied in the order they are given, so following this, it should have been :

Q3 results :
HAM
ROS
HUL
VET
BUT
RAI
RIC
BOT
VES
MAS

First Vettel's penalty is applied, so he dropped 9, BUT-RAI-RIC-BOT-VES move up on spot. Then Rosberg's penalty should put him 7, not 6.

What did I miss ?

Thanks for the link, the explanation looks weird, though

 

[RoKKeR]

Hoping for as many arial shots as possible, this is the most beautiful track they visit each year.

 

[Hasney]

Hoping Hamilton does one of his near trademark bad starts and we get Hulk and Jenson 1-2 for at least a little while.

 

[Zeknurn]

Wehrlein's accent cracks me up everytime. brotkasten do you have the same typical German accent?

I just tend to ignore all the explanations and pretend the final grid makes sense.

 

[kmag]

I can't help but think this will be a Hamilton procession given the temps.

 

[RoKKeR]

Vettel is only 29? Jesus! Thought he was over 30 for some reason.

 

[Zeknurn]

I will change my avatar to Haryanto if Vettel, Kimi or Hulkenberg wins the race.

Button going to be P10 in round 2 if it doesn't rain

 

[Tempy]

Buemi's just way faster than anybody else out there. He just needs to stay calm during the race.

 

[RoKKeR]

Love the dramatic shots of the curbs haha.

Hoping for a signature Hamilton fuckup on the start.

 

[moojito]

I wish McHonda would get the finger out and get back to being up the business end of the grid on a regular basis legitimately.

 

[Hasney]

Button going to be P10 in round 2 if it doesn't rain

I know. Would still be fun even for a couple of laps!

 

[Zeknurn]

Hülkenberg, activate order 44.

 

[RoKKeR]

Smh WEH

 

[kmag]

Well that's Hamilton won it.

 

[nny]

Go Jenson!! D

 

[Hasney]

well, Button is P2 anyway... Poor Hulk.

 

[RoKKeR]

Wow, HULK got rocked there.

Congrats HAM.

 

[Madchad]

Get in there button.

 

[Hasney]

Nice Rosberg, carve through that pack. Hulk will be difficult though.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

No incidents?

Great start Button.

 

[Madchad]

Holy shit this button train lol

 

[Hasney]

No incidents?

Great start Button.

Some lock ups and a little bit of contact, but nothing really major.

Still, with all the suspension faliures, I'm still waiting on something later.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Poor Kvyat. The guy need to get ahold of herself.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Hasney]

Kimi always gets stuck behind a slower car. Come on man.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Now with DRS enabled will be the end of Maclaren dream.

 

[RoKKeR]

"McLaren has too much speed" is a sentence I have not heard since I started watching F1 2 years ago lmao

 

[hamchan]

Wow I dislike this track.

 

[Hasney]

That's some hot Nico on Nico action.

EDIT: Finally Kimi!

 

[Xando]

Looks like Hulks tires are dead

 

[Leonsito]

Nico lost like 4 places in one lap, poor guy

 

[Tempy]

Wow I dislike this track.

Why? Short, but challenging track. Wide enough, plenty of passing opportunities. Nice mountain view, lots of height differences.

 

[dakun]

Is rain on the cards today?

 

[PjotrStroganov]

VES is currently destroying RIC.

 

[Hasney]

Looks like Hulks tires are dead

Yeah, or setup hoping for rain in both quali and the race. Thsat would kill the tyres on top of not being right.

Yes Nico. now get Kimi!

Is rain on the cards today?

It wasn't supposed to rain before the race, so who know with this place.

 

[RoKKeR]

Holy shit that camera in the curb!

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Poor Button.Be overtook like that should be quiet frustrating.

 

[Orbis]

Why? Short, but challenging track. Wide enough, plenty of passing opportunities. Nice mountain view, lots of height differences.

I agree, it's a proper F1 track in every regard.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I hope Ricciardo is saving tyres or something like that. He is quite "quiet:
