ouch @ G Scale. His head looked like one of those car "bobble head" (sry just know the german word : wackeldackel)

 

[SunhiLegend]

Very slippery track.

 

[Nolan.]

The MP4- 27 is such a pretty car

^^
so much swag

somebody should 'shop some exclamations on that Schuey gif - like 'omg here i go again'

 

[moojito]

Webber wondering along with the rest of us why they don't just take the sandbags out on a friday and save everyone some trouble.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Yeah ^ lol

Webber doesn't look too happy with his car.

 

[Psychotext]

I'm not convinced this is sandbagging... I think the engine map stuff may have hurt them. Alonso must be laughing his arse off right now.

 

[moojito]

Neither red bull went out on the soft tire, I see.

 

[DrM]

Yeah ^ lol

yeah, 8th place for him

Indeed, Mclaren and Redbull falling over themselves would be perfect for him to protect his lead. I think Mclaren can still mount a challenge for the titles (less so the constructors) but it's a lot to ask at this point, that's why you need to take the points when you have pace advantage. I won't rule Redbull out quite yet for the weekend, they always seem to throw something out on Saturday morning all risk style to try and regain what seems lost.

Red Bull is sandbagging like they do quite often on Fridays (compare their number of laps to other teams, if they had problems they would run at least the same as the other teams).

They probably want people to believe the engine mapping is responsible for how fast their car was in the last GP and thentomorrow they get 1-2 in the qualify.

Haha Toto is hilarious 'I've gotta be careful now...putting myself into shit'

Edit: and sky apologises for Toto's potty mouth ha I like ToTo

Yeah. I highly doubt that the engine mapping gave them such an advantage. It would be even more embarrassing for the FIA.

ToTo?

 

[brotkasten]

ToTo?

Christian "Toto" Wolff. Williams shareholder, executive director and now Frank Williams' assistant and probably his successor.

 

[Psychotext]

Ta

 

[Yen]

I thought you meant Toto - Africa.

 

[kharma45]

Changed my F1RM line up from MSC and Kobayashi to Grosjean and Hamilton.

Hope it pays off.

 

[Dilly]

What's the F1RM name and password?

 

[Fantomex]

I think Red Bull will be fine, but they do play possum in practices quite often.

[Dilly]

Nevermind found it.

Looks like I'm 18th in this subleague.

PURE suspends 2014 engine development after funding issues

Did something similar, going from Perez/Maldonado to Hamilton/Maldonado because I had less money to spend. McLaren looks fast this weekend.

Sad news but depending on the rumours it was all a sham like the infamous USF1 team.

 

[Risk Breaker]

Regardind F1RM, I started pretty well but I'm dropping a lot lately, even when I thought I was going to do well last race because I had Lotus/Sauber (stupid unlucky Grosjean ). At least I got 6 out of 8 bets! (thank you based Nando)

I'm betting it all on McLaren this weekend, going Maldonado/Grosjean and Lotus/McLaren, lowering fuel to Mobil 1 for now.

 

[Shaneus]

Nah, it wasn't that. Webber was never happy with the car at all in Germany. I don't think the engine mapping thing hurt him at all, I just think they're struggling to get the car running the way they want it.

I have an 'orrible feeling Webs will be starting from pit lane

 

[navanman]

I'm betting that it stays dry tomorrow and Kimi gets pole. Just a feeling.

It might hurt in the race though with managing tyres.

Nah, it wasn't that. Webber was never happy with the car at all in Germany. I don't think the engine mapping thing hurt him at all, I just think they have it set to run the way Vettel wants it.

Fixed it for ya!

 

[DrM]

God damn, our national broadcaster will not show qualies due to bicycle olympic race...

 

[Shaneus]

Fixed it for ya!

No blown diffuser this year

 

[brotkasten]

No blown diffuser this year

But they're still trying to blow it.

 

[Shaneus]

But they're still trying to blow it.

Something's certainly getting blown behind the scenes at RBR.

This thread, god damn, rofl.

Anyway, I hope McL is back on form and Vettel gets pruposed.

 

[mblitek]

Agh I went with Schumacher & Grosjean. Risky! I had to downgrade to Shell...Shame I'll be sleeping for FP3 and qualifying.

 

[MrPonx]

I'm betting that it stays dry tomorrow and Kimi gets pole. Just a feeling.

Same

 

[Hammer24]

Thank you so much for the gifs, Sunhi.

You provide a great service for all of us who are at work and can't watch the FP. I was sitting at my desk, saw the gif and literally said "No, Roman! No, no, no! ... Damn."

.
Can´t be repeated often enough!

 

[Salacious Crumb]

If it's dry and there's no silly fuck ups it'll either be Lewis or Seb on pole.

 

[navanman]

Alonso looking very cool and relaxed.

 

[Dilly]

Hamilton should get pole.

 

[navanman]

Hamilton should get pole.

He just set an unbelievable time on the mediums tyres there.
fastest time all weekend, purple in all 3 sectors.

 

[Nolan.]

What's interesting is that even though this track suits the Rebull's characteristics more than some of the others (Mclaren are supposed to be slow in slow speed corners...) they are loosing time in the final sector even on the softs.

 

[Edmond Dantès]

Alonso for pole.

Not being allowed to set the engine mapping like they did might hurt them there no?

 

[Dilly]

Alonso for pole.

I'd be surprised by that. The Ferrari isn't bad at all but it's not exactyl smooth around here either. I think around 3rd place is more realistic for this weekend.

 

[navanman]

Alonso for pole.

Based on the evidence that he isn't doing much running and is Kimi like ice cool?

 

[navanman]

Mercedes look really really shit so far. Hope they are doing higher fuel runs.

 

[Dilly]

Yeah, their pace is terrible.

 

[Nolan.]

What is up with Jenson hopefully he doesn't bring this bad form through to Quali because it's too far off from Lewis
