Such a limp performance by Ricciardo. Shame.

I've been watching F1 long enough, just that I'm not so salty to hate another team for past success or failures that might have bothered you 10 years ago.

 

[Tempy]

Hulk out?

 

[chadskin]

Hulk

MAJOR CAVEAT: That tweet was 3 minutes after the start, when everyone was throwing around accusations about who did what.

EDIT: Also, what the hell were Mercedes talking about? "Compressing the field"????

True, but they haven't tweeted anything about the incident since then. So that is still their most recent explanation about what happened.

 

[nny]

3 cars to go.

 

[Kalor]

Sauber getting a good position with all these retirements.

If the field spreads out Danny might take a free stop if there was another sc and push on fresh tyres. With the field bunched he can't.

Overtaking is difficult anyway, more so with wet patches.

Good lord do you people hate Ferrari so much here.... it's like they're the ones who won the last 4 championships without any kind of competition whatsoever.

It's a case of attitude. It's not about which teams win races, it's about how they go about it.

Seven years of championships (with some really questionable tactics and behaviour), and then bitching and whining and threatening to leave the series and make their own when they don't win.

Mercedes have dominated, but at least they've done it with some class. Same with Red Bull.

 

[Waldo Lydecker]

As someone who grew up watching Ferrari dominating this sport in a much more cynical fashion than Mercedes have never done, get out with this.

Mercedes have let Hamilton and Rosberg (and Hamilton and Bottas) race openly and fairly.

Ferrari literally used to tell Barrichello to move over to let Schumacher through at the end of races.

Mercedes have also never exploited any influence in the FIA to have rules and regulations changed between and in the middle of seasons to better suit them.

So no, fuck Ferrari. Even though the Ferrari of today are nothing like the Evil Jean Todt Era, they've still got a long, long way to go until I stop enjoying seeing them screw up.

This x 1000, bravo good Sir

Sauber getting a good position with all these retirements.

Still not ahead of Hulk

 

[BigAl1992]

Jesus Christ. Hulkenberg has had the worst luck of all today.

 

[Grug]

Hulkenberg retired 2 minutes ago, Wehrlein still behind him.

 

[NewDust]

Jesus Christ. Hulkenberg has had the worst luck of all today.

I can think of some people who had worse luck today.

 

[Randdalf]

How is Wehrlein so slow

 

[nny]

Lol, the time Wehrlein is taking to overtake a retired car.

 

[kharma45]

Sauber points incoming

 

[chadskin]

3 cars to go.

2 cars to go.

 

[BigAl1992]

And now KMag is out too. Bloody hell.

 

[Ruruja]

How is Wehrlein so slow

Slow and steady wins 10th place.

 

[jey_16]

ridiculous thing is that Vettel didn't even need to cover Max that much, he had the lead if he took the corner normally! I hate the strategy of pushing drivers into the wall at the start

 

[nny]

2 cars to go.

It's happening!

 

[Ty4on]

Slow and steady wins 10th place.

He's so slow he can't overtake them soon

Just 10 minutes left and he's 4 minutes behind

 

[DBT85]

Points for everyone maybe?

 

[LordPusha]

Oh right, because Mercedes didn't threaten the FIA that they were going to quit F1, no its the other teams fault for not having a one year advantage to build an engine that took other teams 4 years to start challenging. Hah I'm done with this thread.

Sky Germany voting. 40% think Max Verstappen is to blame... Ffs. 29% vettel

Hulkenberg retired 2 minutes ago, Wehrlein still behind him.

Thought you were in bed.

 

[Filthy Casual]

Just put this on and holy shit what a disappointment. Championship dead now no point watching anymore.

 

[Par Score]

Sad times for Hulk and KMag :c

Bye Felicia.

Werhlein with the crazy overtake on Hulk!

Relax man, I'm a Ferrari fan and the hate sustains me.

German fans are going to be slightly biased

He has Kmag in his sight now - what a drive!

 

[Grug]

Safety car saved me. Sorry to disappoint.

Lol, wat.

 

[Danielsan]

Ric can be happy with these points, but man what a bland drive,

I thought you didn't get salty about other team's past successes 🤔

 

[Ruruja]

How can you be so delicate that you are done with a thread when someone disagrees with you.

Ferrari are much better these days but boy were they a bunch of cunts during the Schumacher years.

 

[Hasney]

German fans are going to be slightly biased

I heard Sky are saying that it doesn't matter who was at fault, but the incident affected Hamilton the most as he would have won the race already if there were no safety cars

Spoiler

/s

 

[Kalor]

When was the last time that a race didn't go the full distance?

 

[nny]

All this abuse...I foresee an engineer's strike coming, they deserve respect!

 

[Grug]

Fair to assume that wet + night = safety car start from here on out?

 

[Chuck]

Ric can be happy with these points, but man what a bland drive,

He's not happy with these points when he should be on the top step.

 

[dakun]

If two cars crashed now, wehrlein would still finish outside of the points lol

 

[Ruruja]

Fair to assume that wet + night = safety car start from here on out?

I don't think it caused the start crash. Who else has crashed, Kvyat (a given) and Ericsson? Nothing major.
