What happened with Verstappen ? Issues with the car ? Which will lead to some penalty ?

Gearbox problems.

Adam Cooper ‏@adamcooperF1 22m22 minutes ago

Am told that @EstebanGtz has a five place grid penalty and three penalty points for impeding @PWehrlein in FP3

Hearing that the FIA stewards have decided to take no further action against @KevinMagnussen re his incident with VET in FP3

Good decisions.

It's Webber weekend on Channel 4.

 

[nature boy]

Great F1 comes back and Mercedes make a mockery of the rules.

3 new engines? GTFO.

 

[Zaru]

Mercedes could take 10 place grid penalties for both cars on every race from now and still win the constructor's championship.
Which is why them pulling this actually irks me.

They want 1-2's and have already lost enough of those due to the odd early issues with Hamiltons repeat engine failures. They would rather take the one big hit here rather then risk losing out on 3x 1-2's.

 

[Hasney]

Aw, I was hoping Ricciardo was going to put on some of that post-hardcore for a second there.

EDIT:The editing on this Rosberg interview is savage.

There's a possibility Alonso might have to have another engine change. Honda is investigating now

.

 

[Paradise Brunch]

Wait, Ferrari only bring one set of Medium??

 

[Mastah]

No engine change for Fred. Honda resolved the problem.

 

[Hasney]

No engine change for Fred. Honda resolved the problem.

Well, a problem. They still have plenty.

 

[bobnowhere]

Alonso will be starting the race in France at this rate.

 

[Mastah]

Well, a problem. They still have plenty.

Imagine for a second, that the planets align and Hamilton manages to win the race after taking his 345 place grid drop.

New motor and as many tyres as he wants.

It would be a complete mockery of the current "competiveness" of F1.

 

[dakun]

That Wehrlein lap. He should go to Williams now that Mercedes is no option

 

[Juicy Bob]

:lol

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Pascal gonna get into q2? Noooo *crosses ingers

 

[Mastah]

:lol

Honda-McLaren and Renault set the precedent last year. These are the rules.

 

[mclem]

107% of 107 seconds. I find that aesthetically pleasing.

 

[DrM]

Some storm clouds are forming over the circut

 

[Juicy Bob]

Wehrlein taking time out of running into me in F1 2016 to be much more productive in real life.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Wow at Renault.

 

[Zeknurn]

Wehrlein should be moved up to a better team next season.

 

[Terbinator]

Surely this highlights the idiocy of extreme grid-place drops?

Hamilton's competitors are going to be at 100% to fight for pole whereas Hamilton takes a fresh engine with minimal running.

 

[nekkid]

Wehrlein!

 

[nny]

Kvyat...

 

[stryke]

lol kyvat

 

[dakun]

Wth Massa? That track got quicker fast.

Wehrlein is a real Wunderkind.

 

[Paradise Brunch]

Wehrlein to Q3 pretty please.

 

[Par Score]

Wehrlein. Bloody hell.

 

[DrM]

Wehrlein really likes this track

 

[aspiegamer]

Holy shit Wehrlein.

Q2 gonna be fun since those are starting tyres...

Wehrlein really likes this track

I love Spa since it's one of the tracks where a driver that nails it can find an extra half second regardless of the car.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Pascal gonna get into q2? Noooo *crosses ingers

NINTH for Pascal?????????????????

 

[bobnowhere]

Mega lap from Pascal.

Kvyat, just move on buddy. Maybe Indycar?

 

[Lemonte]

Pascal for president!

 

[nny]

Massa could not participate in the Olympics in his country, so now he wants a gold medal for #1 in Q1

 

[nekkid]

I must say I really enjoy the lack of stress when Hamilton isn't starting from the front!

 

[Mastah]

Last year Manors were 2 seconds slower than McLaren and 3 seconds off the next slowest car. What a change in 12 months

 

[DrM]

Mercedes PR girl is cute

Last year Manors were 2 seconds slower than McLaren and 3 seconds off the next slowest car. What a change in 12 months

Mercedes B-spec team confirmed

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Some storm clouds are forming over the circut

No, thats Pascal Wehrlein.

 

[Risgroo]

Cardboard Massa returns!

 

[nekkid]

Last year Manors were 2 seconds slower than McLaren and 3 seconds off the next slowst car. What a change in 12 months

They've got a factory, and they're making new carbon parts rather than heating and bending existing spares using hair dryers (seriously).

Smart for Wehrlein to go straight out.

 

[Tempy]

Alonso deserves better. McLaren plz.

I still expect Williams to mess up their race strategy.

 

[dakun]

German reporter asking Hamilton "what is the problem with the tires and the temperature"
Hamilton: "Pirelli"

 

[djplaeskool]

No, thats Pascal Wehrlein.

lol

 

[DrM]

Alonso deserves better. McLaren plz.

That was a nice footage of throwing his headrest into the cockpit

 

[dakun]

Is it really that smart to start with the soft tires tomorrow if you are at the risk of losing places at and after the start because other cars start with supersofts?
I think the safer option is just creating a gap from the start

Edit: ok forget it. Others also on soft

 

[Juicy Bob]

I don't seriously believe that Alonso is enjoying his McLaren experience more than he would've had he stayed at Ferrari.

If it continues to be hot as fuck tomorrow, it could be very smart.
