Alonso Onboard

VER KVY Onboard

 

[Chuck]

Dan the man!

Max dead again.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Massa is 9th?!

 

[Risk Breaker]

Shit race start.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Alonso had such a great start. Kviat just torpedoed Alonso and start the chaos.

 

[Lima]

Bottas gonna get that drive through penalty.

 

[Xando]

Terrible start for Max and Kvyat...wtf

Bottas, on the other hand...too good?

Looked like Bottas went too early for a fraction of a second

 

[Randdalf]

Looks like a good day for VET if BOT gets a penalty

 

[Danielsan]

Kvyat should know this is his last season.

 

[bubaglobalj]

On a positive note Stroll somehow ended up in the points (10th)

 

[McNum]

Are you even watching?

EDIT: oh shit, Bottas officially investigated for a jump start.

Yup. Driver error. Just not his. Well, the stall that put him in the Kvyat zone was his, but stalling shouldn't mean you get taken out like a bowling pin due to one car hitting another which then hits yous.

 

[Jezbollah]

What did he do?

Both Kyvat and Verstappen got bad launches. Alonso got a good one, passed Kyvat and was catching up to Verstappen. Then going into Turn 1, Kyvat didnt react in time to the braking, locked up and hit Alonso's rear right. Alonso then spun into Max.

Damn. Race potential is just gone in a second, just like that.

Looks like both Williams managed to get +8 places.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Those poor Dutch fans...

Spoiler

lol

 

[Lach]

Didn't look like a jump start to me in the replay.

But I know in track&field they include a minimal reaction time when deciding on jump starts. Is this the case in F1 as well?

 

[Theorry]

Kvyat getting murdered by Helmut Marko.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

GRO keep him behind ya!

 

[Jezbollah]

The only bad thing Max did was get a bad start. The rest wasnt his fault. Ironically Alonso getting a good start is what caused him to retire too.

No Kyvat had a good launch, he overtook Sainz.

Believe it was Sainz not kyv with the bad start.

Kvyat got a good launch. Sainz was the one who bogged down. Watch kvyat's onboard again. He drives around Sainz and then locks up the brakes.

According to Martin Brundle, they do. So we'll have to wait and see.

 

[Gen.Grievous]

What a horrible start by Verstappen. Dude needs to focus.

See if he was near vettel the drama would reach new heights.

Really now. He has has some amazing starts this year and suddenly he needs to focus after one bad one.

I feel horrible for all those fans that made the trip. Fuck Kvyat.

 

[Aiii]

If I was Gasly’s management, I would already be calling Dr. Marko to tell him they are ready.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

Sainz got a bad start. Kvyatt was alright.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Bottas needs to be as fast as possible. Vettel cannot win this.

 

[Jezbollah]

Kvyat got a good launch. Sainz was the one who bogged down. Watch kvyat's onboard again. He drives around Sainz and then locks up the brakes.

Cheers, I stand corrected.

Horner just confirmed that Verstappen got an anti-stall.

 

[brotkasten]

Would surprise me if Bottas got a penalty.

[Lima]

Why are they even investigating? Didn't look like a jump start at all.

 

[John_B]

Was it a jump start? How fast are they allowed to react?

 

[Humidex]

Not a jump start. Very, very close however.

 

[Theorry]

Clutch issue for Verstappen.

 

[NewDust]

Looks like RBR will stay at the bottom for # of completed laps.

 

[Razgreez]

Send and Dani hating on Valteri's Jedi reflexes

 

[nny]

If they don't decide there was a jump start, Vettel will just ram him, so Bottas' screwed either way.

 

[Jezbollah]

Was it a jump start? How fast are they allowed to react?

So the ruling is that they allow "anticipation time" - but according to Sky the frame in which the lights went out was the same frame that Bottas started moving.

If it's a jump start, then it's a jump start by the very finest margin.

Kyvat with a drive through.

 

[jey_16]

didn't look like a jump start

 

[Xando]

Drive through for the last driver is so useless.

Should give a +5,+10 next race


Kimi in shambles again, what a suprise

 

[Lima]

Max out while Danny will get podium again. I don't know how much longer he can take this.

 

[McNum]

The only bad thing Max did was get a bad start. The rest wasnt his fault. Ironically Alonso getting a good start is what caused him to retire too.

Yeah. I feel worse for Alonso, to be honest.

Verstappen has really, really not have had any luck on his side this season. I'm not sure if his luck has become so bad it's funny yet, but it's kind of getting old. I would like to see Max in a scrappy duel with someone again. If he's going to DNF, at least do it like that instead of mechanical failure or the errors of others.

 

[dakun]

Massa in 9th position on soft tires is quite impressive

 

[stryke]

Lol the camera was on a lonely Red Bull in 3Rd place for a while. We all know why.

 

[illamap]

Bottas had O.2s reaction time. In athletes under 0.1s false start. So he should be just fine.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

If Kvyat also got a penalty for the next race too. It will be very interesting to see the reactions.

 

[Jezbollah]

Kimi looking like he has issues. Being instructed to enter commands in from pitlane.

 

[Ennosuke]

Amazing start and speed from Bottas in this race. He is going to win this one.

 

[brotkasten]

So the ruling is that they allow "anticipation time" - but according to Sky the frame in which the lights went out was the same frame that Bottas started moving.

Kyvat with a drive through.

And since the Stewards aren't as harsh this season, nothing is going to happen.

Vettel can suck it.

 

[Lima]

Just push all the buttons Kimi.
