Allowed:
* Instructions to select driver defaults for the sole purpose of mitigating loss of function of a sensor, actuator or controller whose degradation or failure was not detected and handled by the on-board software. In according with Article 8.2.4, any new setting chosen in this way must not enhance the performance of the car beyond that prior to the loss of function+

Does this cover Nico?

Rosberg didn't lose function of sensor, actuator or controller and also wasn't told to use another setting. He was told how to cope with a gearbox issue. Ergo, I'm, this rule has nothing to do with the incident.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Unnecessary booing

It's not like he didn't pay for it already

 

[Aiii]

"Leagues better" yeah right.

Wishful thinking that isn't supported by actual stats.

 

[RoKKeR]

Not with his upcoming penalties.

Gearbox/engine penalties? Haven't been keeping up on it.

 

[Business]

Horrible show, from the SC start to the whole racing being pace management. Add the tarmac runoffs so not even mistakes are punished and you get something thats equally watchable on TV or a live timing app.

 

[ZanzibarBreeze]

Superb race, wonderful race for Lewis. Keenly awaiting that sweet sweet Nico penalty

Being stuck in a gear sounds like a loss of an actuator.

 

[mclem]

You could have someone's eye out with those trophies

 

[Terbinator]

 

[djplaeskool]

This is awkward as hell. lol

True, but crowds will be crowds. Austria just booed for the hell of it.

Lol bad news

Your posts are a big part of what keeps me getting back to this thread. You have incredible vision.

Podium interview:

"You know, we're going to save 350 million pounds a week. It's a great thing."

 

[nature boy]

Gearbox/engine penalties? Haven't been keeping up on it.

Yep he's on the limit with some components (plural).

 

[Zeknurn]

Aww, I was hoping Brundle would do the podium interview and call out the shitty crowd.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Fuck the booers.

"Best fans in the world" do not boo.

 

[hamchan]

Webbah. Heck yeah the most likeable driver on that podium.

 

[Pterion]

Is this some sort of alternate universe? Leagues better hahahahaha

Yup, hilarious stuff. Denial of the inevitable at its finest.

 

[chadskin]

Too bad Vettel didn't finish on the podium. Would've been an interesting interview with Webber.

 

[dakun]

lol Hamilton forgot Monza??

And just as he's saying there is almost no booing they boo the fuck out of Rosberg.. lol

 

[Chuck]

Don't hear a lot of booing, fucking lol.

 

[Mohonky]

Too bad Vettel didn't finish on the podium. Would've been an interesting interview with Webber.

".......oh you're up here? Fuck off ya cunt"

 

[RoKKeR]

Yoooo WTF!?!

"you don't hear a lot of booing which means we have good British spirit."

The fuck at that shade!

 

[hamchan]

LOL @ "Don't hear booing" followed by immediate boos to Rosberg.

That great British spirit.

 

[SilentRob]

"Not a lot of booing, great british spirit!"

"OK, Rosberg..."

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo.

".......oh you're up here? Fuck off ya cunt"

They already met at some point at the podium and joked around a lot. They seem to be completely fine these days.

 

[Zeknurn]

Ha, Webber sidestepped the crowd. Well done.

 

[mclem]

lol Hamilton forgot Monza??

And just as he's saying there is almost no booing they boo the fuck out of Rosberg.. lol

I think he was trying to discourage them in advance, which was a noble intent. .. If unsuccessful.

Could have been a dig, mind. I'm happy to give him the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Mokubba]

Lewis tried to help lol

 

[kharma45]

Yoooo WTF!?!

"you don't hear a lot of booing which means we have good British spirit."

The fuck at that shade!

Hamilton really does live in his own little world

 

[olore]

Chandon must pay good money to have a camera for the good part of 5 minutes there.

Haha, he almost forgot where the next race is taking place

 

[Mohonky]

Hamilton really does live in his own little world

Well yes he is #blessed

Theyre allowed to notify you about a critical issue, whether they can tell you how to fix it is another issue. Whether they can tell you how to deal with an issue is also another matter.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Brilliant shot of Lewis with the fans

 

[RoKKeR]

Impressive fan turnout here, really cool to see.

 

[bee]

well done lewis, helps that rosberg can't drive in the rain though i guess

just like to say thanks to all the haters in this thread, be it general f1 or just hamilton, always good for a laugh

What haters? I haven't seen any haters in this thread for this race.

 

[LudicrousSpeed]

Theyre allowed to notify you about a critical issue, whether they can tell you how to fix it is another issue. Whether they can tell you how to deal with an issue is also another matter.

Even that's really questionable. Force India apparently asked the stewards last week if they could communicate something like "your brakes are going" and were told no. Their legal options were to tell Perez to retire or leave him in the dark.

If that's where they're coming from on the radio ban, I don't see any way Mercedes doesn't get penalized for this.

That's why I said what I did... But with the current regulations and stewards, who knows how this will be explained.

 

[kharma45]

I don't think anyone has said boo about hamilton today, bar his booing comments.

 

[Kuros]

Impressive fan turnout here, really cool to see.

Certainly better than watching them racing around an empty circuit in the Gulf.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Lewis going to smash up the motorhome when he finds out they told Rosberg to avoid 7th gear

 

[Chuck]

Wouldn't a dq be hilarious though.

 

[John_B]

Great performance by Verstappen. Spain was gifted from the heavens, but this was all him this weekend. It's hard to say he won't grow to be up there with the current best.

Worst performance by Vettel since his move to Ferrari.

Rosberg was smooth sailing not too long ago and now he is like a small boat in the storm catching wave after wave. This season will be soul destroying for one of the Mercedes drivers.

 

[dakun]

Wouldn't a dq be hilarious though.

it would be a disgrace. Hilarious in terms of the state of F1 today.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Exactly.

Not only that, but only this weekend the FIA have told teams that they from now will be getting even more STRICT with these rules.

If theyre being even more strict, then being lenient in this case will throw up a big "WTF?" from all the other teams.

 

[hamchan]

Team radio rules are so rubbish tbh.

 

[Shirow]

Hey I'm kinda new to the whole F1 thing but I've been missing races like today due to how early they are for me. I'm in Florida. Is there a way to watch the races later in the day?

 

[Juicy Bob]

I respect Lewis for what he said. Basically trying to subtly tell the fans "come on guys, we are British. We don't boo." To try and diffuse the crowd's reaction to Nico.
