This isn't farewell home GP Massa deserves :/

It's exactly the farewell GP he deserves lol.

 

[PdotMichael]

He should drive into Hamilton.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

It most certainly can. Russia used chemicals during the Olympics to clear the rain miles away from where the events were held.

Oh I didn't know it worked the other way around. Thanks for the info.

 

[brotkasten]

Look at the bright side. Ham finally wins in Brazil.

Can't wait for the podium.

 

[Zeknurn]

Sauber will retain both drivers unless something drastic happens.

Gutiérrez was seen in the Sauber hospitality unit today. Nasr better get his credit card out.

 

[CrayToes]

10 minutes!

 

[brotkasten]

Restart in 10 minutes. Let's see.

 

[Kalor]

I'm ready for five more laps before another red flag.

 

[Zaru]

They're trying again? Oh lord.

 

[DrM]

look how charming he is

 

[Solaire of Astora]

The maybe he shouldn't be on that job

So who would you recommend? Bearing in mind that Charlie has been directly involved in Motorsport for over 40 years.

You gotta wonder, which of the two can muster up more money,

 

[sems4arsenal]

Race will restart in 10 minutes, where we should be getting even more rain IIRC?

 

[RoKKeR]

Damn it's already been two hours.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Charlie is just fucking around with the drivers right now, he's still salty Seb told him to go fuck himself.

 

[Xando]

Just came home from work and was expecting to see the final laps.

Anyone can tell me wtf is going on

 

[Randdalf]

"Don't trust the messages on the radio"

🤔

 

[Orbis]

They're trying again? Oh lord.

Why the fuck did they stop it? If they left the cars out there they would've been clearing water.

 

[Frankfurter]

Damn it's already been two hours.

? The race started like ~1.45 hours ago.

 

[brotkasten]

Just came home from work and was expecting to see the final laps.

Anyone can tell me wtf is going on

Crash on in-lap, safety car start, race, crash, crash, crash, red flag, restart under SC, restart, crash, red flag.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Why the fuck did they stop it? If they left the cars out there they would've been clearing water.

To give us more actual racing laps

 

[Paradise Brunch]

Restart in 10 mins? I thought the condition got worsen.

 

[Randdalf]

Wonder what's up with Rosberg's knee

 

[Zeknurn]

You gotta wonder, which of the two can muster up more money,

Well, the rumour is that Petrosbas wants to cut all sponsorship money going into Formula 1 after their horrible financial results.

 

[Peter Ian Staker]

Well a Merc is about to win the race

Spoiler

.... the AMG GT that is.

 

[Tempy]

I think they should just get everybody in a room and decide this with playing the F1 videogame.

Or indoor karting.

 

[Ganzlinger]

I thought Wehrlein was in talks with Sauber.

 

[Xando]

Crash on in-lap, safety car start, race, crash, crash, crash, red flag, restart under SC, restart, crash, red flag.

Sounds like fun.

That rain pouring down doesn't look like they won't drive for long.

 

[brotkasten]

I think they should just get everybody in a room and decide this with playing the F1 videogame.

Or indoor karting.

This should be the rule from 2017 on.

If the race can't be continued on track, they'll have to finish it with karts.

 

[Hasney]

Thank god this Motorsport Manager is damn good. Making up for a bad race.

 

[DrM]

I thought Wehrlein was in talks with Sauber.

I highly doubt that Manor or Mercedes would let him go. He is still Mercedes simulator driver though.

 

[Fox Mulder]

This is why I don't understand people constantly getting excited about rain.
It is clear current F1 wants nothing to do with it

Rain can be fun and shake up a boring ass standard grid. This just sucks though, regardless of whether it's the cars, tires, or driver skill.

 

[brotkasten]

Thank god this Motorsport Manager is damn good. Making up for a bad race.

So happy to hear that it's good. As I got older, I'd much rather play a manager game, than a race game. I can't wait for Workshop support. Gotta need official names and liveries.

 

[Xando]

Imagine the teamradio when the safety car bug happens

 

[JDB]

Not sure why they think conditions will be any different this time around.

 

[scorcher59]

So who would you recommend? Bearing in mind that Charlie has been directly involved in Motorsport for over 40 years.

He might have many a year in racing, sure, but if you are in effect in charge of the race you'd have a clear directive to follow be it the driver's safety, the spectacle or whatever. Who could replace him? I really don't know, which got me thinking, is he the best then?

 

[Randdalf]

The nationalities and teams in their F1 equivalent match up with the current season, so you can imagine it whilst modding isn't available.

 

[ElTorro]

The gods of F1 don't want this race to happen.

No...rain USED to be fun.
It hasn't been for a couple years and wont be for the foreseeable future

 

[Chris R]

Time limited? Congrats on the championship Nico :/

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Safety car's driver will be on the podium right? He lead the race more than anyone today.

 

[brotkasten]

Imagine Rosberg fumbling the restart, like Kimi did. Oh God.

 

[DrM]

That GT AMG sound

 

[DieH@rd]

Imagine Rosberg fumbling the restart, like Kimi did. Oh God.

Imagine Hamilton doing the same. This clusterfuck of the race does not deserve to end the championship fight.

 

[Orbis]

Max really wants that place, damn. If we go green expect a move.

Me to Bernie during red flag "will we be back at this track next year?" Bernie: "At this rate we'll never leave!"

That might be an interesting challenge going forward.

How do you make wet races fun again? Step one, in my mind, has to be to make it actually possible to race when it's wet. I hope the new tires next year comes with some great wets.

 

[Chris R]

Time limit needs to be looked at again

Shouldn't be out now, let the rain pass then race.

With that you're right. I don't wish it to any of them, to be clear. I just wish Rosberg was forced
to fight Hamilton for once, instead of coasting to the podium.
