How the fuck is Alonso 3rd????

 

[Tempy]

Yeah, looks like for the last position they can finish their laps. Palmer improved, Ericsson had another chance but was probably too slow and pitted.

 

[ElTorro]

Wait, Palmer's lap DID count?! The fuck is this?

You can finish when the checkered flag is out.

How the fuck is Alonso 3rd????

Fresh-pressed Samurai juice.

 

[Camp1nCarl]

Interesting that Palmers lap counted. Also liking the Renault livery, adds a little color to otherwise boring color schemes IMO.

 

[ElTorro]

It's hilarious that apparently some teams did not understand the rules correctly.

 

[Shaneus]

WTF McL?!? Curious about Kvyat too, should've picked him for my biggest gain in the predictor :/

Also, when was the last time both McLarens made it to Q2?

 

[Draconian]

Laps for the final elimination of the three sessions count, like they always have, as long as the driver is across the start/finish line before the checkered flag is out.

It should be all flying laps count or no flying laps count. This is idiotic.

My fucking alarm didn't go off. What did I miss?

But that would make sense..

 

[Mobius 1]

My fucking alarm didn't go off. What did I miss?

Sheer lunacy

 

[RoKKeR]

Alonso is on provisional poll, nice.

Or was that 4th?

 

[Lach]

My fucking alarm didn't go off. What did I miss?

Haas and Sauber apparently didn't get the notice for the new quali format...

 

[FuturusX]

So who got the fan boost?

 

[Hasney]

How the fuck is Alonso 3rd????

Sandbagging the 2000,000BHP

 

[gutterboy44]

Alonso in in 3rd? What year did I just tune in to? So hyped to have F1 back. Let's hope this season isn't a complete snore.

One mistake from a car in front or hitting a yellow flag sector and you could lose out on a flying lap.

 

[Lach]

Interesting, that the Haas times (that didn't count) were actually really good. Def. ahead of Sauber and Renault...

 

[Hasney]

F1 Thread: Can of Punk IPA or bottle of Hardcore IPA that'll last me until the end of quali. You decide!

90s ealier and you are fucked the same way.

 

[Chris R]

Cars right back on the track again, love it.

Hope these teams understand the rules now, if you are potentially going to be in the elimination spot get your ass on track and puta lap down

 

[Pryce]

What the fuck did I just watch.

Haas not bad actually.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

F1 Thread: Can of Punk IPA or bottle of Hardcore IPA that'll last me until the end of quali. You decide!

Why not both?

 

[RoKKeR]

I thought Williams was going to have a new nose this weekend?

 

[Hasney]

Brundell talking bullshit. No good laps were ever done in Q1. Yeah, would be great if everyone was making great lapswhatever the setting, but it never happened during the shootout, it's not going to happed with thr elimination mode.

 

[Tubie]

So now most cars have that terrible Honda 2015 sound when slowing down in corners (to a much lesser extent).

Maybe Arai was ahead of his time.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Lewis seems effortlessly faster than Nico in these early stages.

 

[RoKKeR]

NBCSN going to commercial just as the lap times are coming in... guess they are lining it up for the elimination.

 

[Deadman]

Season over

 

[tomtom94]

Aaaaaaaand there's the Mercedes pace

 

[Pryce]

Vettel and Kimi a second back.

Lmao fuck this.

 

[jey_16]

Mercedes just killed everyone

 

[Mobius 1]

Fucking Mercedes

 

[Aiii]

Aaaaaaaand there's the Mercedes pace

Shocking.

 

[brotkasten]

Oh, look. It's Mercedes a second ahead. I'm so shocked.

 

[Brinbe]

jeez

well, time to wrap this season up.

 

[spuckthew]

Last year's pole was a 26.3 lol

 

[Juicy Bob]

Lol

 

[massivekettle]

Oh, look. It's Mercedes a second ahead. I'm so shocked.

Wow. Didn't expect that.

Ferrari looked so threatening thus far.

 

[RoKKeR]

Congrats to Hammy on his 3rd straight WDC, good job Merc on wrapping up another Constructors' championship!

 

[jey_16]

lol...have they actually increased the gap compared to last year

what a disaster

 

[Lemonte]

KMag

NBCSN going to commercial just as the lap times are coming in... guess they are lining it up for the elimination.

It has to be this way I'd prefer if they just ran ads during the breaks between the sessions but I guess they can't air 7 mins of ads straight or whatever.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Come on Jolyon, knock old JB out...

 

[Lunar FC]

NBCSN broadcast has been 90% commercials so far.

 

[Tubie]

RIP Vettel

Grats Hamilton

 

[Draconian]

Thanks for taking a commercial break during the first elimination NBC smh

 

[Mobius 1]

At least MotoGP starts this weekend and it's looking a bit more competitive

 

[Danielsan]

Will be watching this season for the midfield. Again...

 

[nekkid]

Those faces on the Ferrari pit wall, lol.

Unfortunately this is nothing new.
