Bird mistake means Rosenqvist gets the pole.

Paul Stoddart's two-seater article - http://www.reuters.com/article/us-motor-f1-hungary-stoddart-idUSKBN1AF0EM

 

[Zeknurn]

I hope Rosenqvist is a contender for the championship next season.

Spoiler

I know it's going to be another Buemi year unless they change the regulations

 

[YourMaster]

Not just a decent, but also a smart move by Hamilton. He gave up just a few points, but in return he gets to stay on good terms with his teammate. You don't want to get into a future situation where you lose time having to fight your teammate, have him unwilling to let you past when you've got a shot at the win, or worse both get a DNF from hitting each other during an overtake.

Lol Ric giving Verstappen the finger when he passed.

Great job by Alonso.

Bit immature.

What a cunt of a bloke...

 

[RaySpencer]

Wolff reaction was very telling, it was Hamilton decision.

I need a gif, I missed his reaction.

 

[Lemonte]

[Ghost]

If I had to read that room I'd say Nikki told him not to give the place back and he did anyway.

 

[Breakage]

Why's Wolff getting mad? Hamilton made a promise and he just honoured it. He did that angry fist for the camera.

If I had to guess I'd say Nikki and Toto disagreed and Lewis did as Toto wanted. That's just judging from that gif though.

 

[dakun]

Holy shit at MAG telling HUL to suck his balls!

https://streamable.com/ajpsl

that's quite funny. Hulk is right to be mad at the move, MAG telling him to suck his balls is pretty funny though.

If anything, i like MAG for his "don't give a shit" Scandinavian attitude he shows in interviews.

i don't think he was mad.. he's actually saying "Yes!". It looks more like a move towards Nikki who doesn't show a reaction. It's quite clear to me that Nikki wanted Hamilton to keep the position. Even when Hamilton was moved in front of Bottas, there was a quick camera cut to Nikki, where he looked like he was annoyed it took that long.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

I like the nod from his dad. You did good son.

Damn, yeah you're right. I was too busy looking at HAM's father's reaction to notice Wolff's initial reaction. I just saw the slammed fist and his face as he took the headset off and assumed it was done in anger.

 

[Randdalf]

Wolff having that reaction doesn't make sense if it was Hamilton's decision, because Hamilton had been slowing down to let Bottas catch up for at least a while before then, and he would have known. He was clearly celebrating that the swap worked without getting overtaken by Verstappen.

 

[RaySpencer]

Thanks!

Yeah, it seems like Toto is happy it all worked out.

Nikki maybe not so much, haha.

 

[StopMakingSense]

He's definitely happy. Probably because the execution was slick as hell.

 

[MontyBrown]

Ant Davidson really wants to suck Paul DiResta's cock, doesn't he?

Insufferable commentary. Bring back Brundle ASAP.

 

[DD]

Whoa, I didn't know Buemi was disqualified from yesterday's race results. Di Grassi 18 points ahead. Yay!

 

[RSP]

Toto's just happy because he just signed BOT for 2018, and doesn't need any drama in the team.\

Edit: Altough I think Bottas would have understood seeing how far back he was from HAM.

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

HAM showed here that he is a classy gentleman. Shame about the Ferrari 1-2. I hate that team with a passion. The angry and unsportmanslike Vettel that never admits his faults and always blame others. The annoying Raikkonen who is always so negative and today made some pretty childish and arrogant remarks about Paul di Resta better sticking to commentary.

No I'm rooting for a Mercedes title this year.

Also, good for VER immediatelly apologizing after the race to Ricciardo.

I am Dutch but I feel the penalty was justified, keep penalizing drivers taking out other drivers with overconfident actions or mistakes in first corners of the race should prevent more eliminations in the future. It is only a bit annoying that the FIA is so incosistent with its penalties (Bottas in Spain and Baku, Vettel in Baku etc. etc.).

 

[Goldrusher]

Hulkenberg to Magnussen: "Once again the most unsportive driver of the grid."

Magnussen: "Suck my balls, mate."

Nah, that's always how their reactions go. Lauda watches unfazed while Wolff freaks out

But yeah, huge, huge respect to the whole Mercedes team. One of the biggest examples of sportsmanship I have ever seen in this sport. First from Bottas to let Hamilton pass, then from Hamilton to give the place back and lastly from Mercedes for deciding and allowing all of this to take place. This would never happen with Ferrari. Good on them that they not only let their drivers fight when it's JUST Mercedes, like the last few years, but also in critical situations like this.

This would never have happened last season at Mercedes with Hamilton and Rosberg, either. Let's not make this a Ferrari are evil and Mercedes are saints thing.

I'm genuinely surprised their equal status stuff lasted halfway through a championship fight with another team already.
That's the sort of thing that Ferrari wouldn't even PRETEND to do.

 

[PdotMichael]

Lol, team orders happened at Mercedes this season, so was not deploying a team order at Ferrari this season as well

[Kalor]

I just realized Channel 5 aren't showing the last Formula E race live. Out of all the races you would expect the last one to be live.

Bahrain? Hamilton had a huge pace advantage and Mercedes asked Bottas not to hold him up. It was inevitable that Hamilton was going to pass him.

A bit different than being deliberately sabotaged on strategy so your team mate can take the win. Twice.

 

[FrankCanada97]

I hope Rosenqvist is a contender for the championship next season.

Spoiler

I know it's going to be another Buemi year unless they change the regulations

There is a strong possibility Rosenqvist is going to IndyCar next year.

 

[DrM]

Last race of Formula E season 3 is about to start.

 

[Tempy]

Aiiee.

EDIT: Black and Orange flag for Buemi.

 

[DrM]

Buemi is screwed

 

[Jezbollah]

lol. That's karma, Buemi.

 

[Kalor]

Buemi going to pop off at someone again.

 

[Tempy]

Well that was awkward.

 

[Randdalf]

Buemi must be so mad

 

[Juicy Bob]

Schadenfreude

 

[Zeknurn]

Lmao Formula E always delivers.

Oh right, I forgot about that.

 

[NewDust]

Schadenfreude

Yeah, he got proper fucked, but I can't feel sorry for the guy.

It's jus a shame the championship seems decided.

Edit: Whaha, seems Da Costa delivered on his promise.

 

[Tempy]

I wouldn't want to be the guy who has to sit next to Buemi on the flight back home.

 

[DrM]

At least you would learn every possible swearing phrase in French

 

[Randdalf]

Vergne "chundering" down the track :lol

 

[DBT85]

He applauds and then bangs the desk. Seems happy.

 

[Tempy]

And here I thought we'd have a Formula-E race without a yellow flag for a change.

 

[DrM]

It was quite entertaining Formula E season 3 and I look forward for Season 4. Which will begin in December

 

[Tempy]

Vergne gets his first F-E win.

Grats to di Grassi for winning the championship.
