[Arucardo]

Fuck, missed it. What did he do?

Rammed Rosberg

 

[herod]

Don't you want a 2 season ban with that ridiculous suggestion too?

he's becoming the new grosjean.

 

[DBT85]

Arent they just making tyres to the spec that the FIA specify?

In terms of performance yes, they were asked to make tyres that degrade and that will make more exciting racing.

So far this weekend we've had 2 tyre delaminations on two different cars, one costing the driver a new gearbox and the other costing places in the race and an extra set.

Then Massa got his blowout too.

Though that could be something else, no idea yet.

EDIT: Hamilton said before the race he'd like to finish closer to Rosberg. Little did he know Rosberg was going to aim for the back of the grid.

 

[Omiee]

These tires seem pretty dodgy...

Scary as hell they are. If you push them to much you can get a puncture. Ridiculous.

 

[Shaneus]

Christ, Di Resta purple S1.

 

[NHale]

he's becoming the new grosjean.

He deserves a drive through nothing more.

 

[kiyomi]

These tires seem pretty dodgy...

What looked really weird about Massa's second failure was the way the tyre just split in two, almost, rather than just shredding.

 

[brotkasten]

Fuck, missed it. What did he do?

Closed the door on Rosberg quite hard and rammed him.

 

[Chris R]

Alonso looks to be in the points, not terrible considering what happened in the first few laps.

Also, thanks Pirelli for giving the shit tires to the team with the biggest and most vocal fan base Enjoy the giant shit storm heading your way.

 

[Dead Man]

he's becoming the new grosjean.

LOL

 

[Shaneus]

Rammed Rosberg

Oh, that sounds quite severe. Ramming usually results in both cars DNFing.

Not exaggerating, are you?

Closed the door on Rosberg quite hard and rammed him.

Yikes. Love to see footage. Sounds lucky none retained damage.

 

[Omiee]

Is vettel going to pit or what.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Fuck, missed it. What did he do?

Rosberg was next to Webber, inside the corner, and Webber decided to close his eyes and just ram Rosberg.

Worst idea by the FIA, fair enough using drs to make overtaking easier but, this tyre management bs better be tweaked for next year.

 

[brotkasten]

Sky has some kind of deal with Lotus? Who gives a shit about what Boullier says.

 

[Omiee]

Different guy next race.

 

[Ce-Lin]

Alonso cockpit camera shows a "funny" Alonso dancing around the DRS button and having to remind himself not to press it, wouldn't be surprised if he activates it again, poor ALO.

 

[Adamm]

Sky has some kind of deal with Lotus? Who gives a shit about what Boullier says.

They have done this with a different team principal each race this season

 

[kiyomi]

Different guy next race.

Maybe it'll be Monisha "I hate rookies but I hired one anyway" Kaltenborn.

 

[marvelharvey]

Michelin admitted their tyres were dangerous, will Pirelli do the same?

Edit: rhetorical question

 

[nopenopenope]

Webber on Rosberg:

 

[Omiee]

Damnnn that was closee

 

[brotkasten]

Alonso fastest lap. lol

 

[Shaneus]

Nice, Webber past Grosjean.

 

[Fuzz Rez]

Nvm

 

[Ce-Lin]

ALO fastest lap with broken car and no DRS, legend

 

[DBT85]

I gets tweaked every year, people have complained about it every year, and we have had some great racing since they started making the tyres.

The problem for Pirelli is that they are more than capable of making a tyre that will do 100 laps at 100%,, but that's not what they were asked for. All they are getting now is negative PR.

 

[Shaneus]

Web and Ros incident to be investigated :/

Fuck Mark, why chance it?!?

 

[NHale]

After the race?!?

 

[Psychotext]

Is it me or is this race a lot more chaotic than usual (apart from Vettel dominating)..

It's a good race aside from Alonso's problems robbing us of a race at the front.

 

[Omiee]

Webber is so bad. Already been passed by grosjean.

 

[kiyomi]

Web and Ros incident to be investigated :/

Fuck Mark, why chance it?!?

After the race though, so presumably it'll be a 5 place penalty for Catalunya if they find him guilty?

 

[Shaneus]

Grosjean taken Webber :/

 

[Addnan]

Webber is so bad. Already been passed by grosjean.

He's on new mediums...

 

[brotkasten]

A podium for Di Resta would make me kinda happy.

 

[Omiee]

So many battles on the track.

Hamilton took his old team mate.

 

[CurlySaysX]

Whine FM about to go back on air.

 

[NHale]

Perez vs Button Part 3.

 

[Omiee]

Grosjean and webber could take di resta and kimi since those guys will be on such old tires on the end of the race.

 

[marvelharvey]

A podium for Di Resta would make me kinda happy.

But will it make Di Resta happy?

 

[Interferon]

Whine FM about to go back on air.

Yeah, severe balance and understeer problems

 

[Adamm]

Alonso doesn't need any drs

 

[kiyomi]

But will it make Di Resta happy?

My exact thought.

Perez finally makes it stick.

 

[Sloane]

Yeah, severe balance and understeer problems

Seems to have some issues though, he's much slower than Perez since stop two or so.

Fourth stop as expected.

 

[brotkasten]

But will it make Di Resta happy?

My exact thought.

Why wouldn't it?

 

[Ce-Lin]

painful to watch ALO now, I feel for this guy, losing to RBR by the smallest of margins with an average car and now with a competent car bad luck is all over him.

 

[Addnan]

Alonso overtaking on straight without DRS. Nice to see.

 

[kiyomi]

Why wouldn't it?

I was just joking!

How many laps has Perez been on these tyres, guys? Does he need to pit again?

 

[Deadman]

4 stops, imagine if they brought softs like they originally planned

 

[Hackbert]

Alonso makes the best out of this day. Bet he will get Hamilton also
