Is that still a thing after the last races?
Impressive race for renault. Really hope they can have a good good engine next year.
The same excuse is used a million times already.
I wish we could use the same excuse for webber since he is in the same car.

I really dont know lol.
Awesome trophy btw.
You should read you're you'd be suprised. All of the hate is just glorious to see actually.
28 wins
Yes it was nice to see something different to a Santander logo
It's only embarrassing to the other teams head designers, although to be fair to them they do actually have a resource budget and dont have two teams worth of data.

Wasn't true last year anyway. They were just more reliable.
Should be banned imo.
Sponsor trophy's are awful.
Maybe your confused because im here since 2009
Last 2 races were night races, could not wake up for them.
Yay, I will miss next race due to my trip to Luxembourg and other parts of Benelux
Imagine if Pirelli brought soft compound here....
Lewis was stuck behind after start and he did not race other drivers as much as Rosberg. Because of this he could watch his tires far better than Rosberg.

my calculator says ALO would have ended 3rd had not Ferrari gambled with the DRS, had they decided not to use it anymore after the pit-stop to shut it down, two pit-stops in a row meant +30 secs for ALO, 8th place and overtaking without DRC says a lot, Kimi, Hamilton and Alonso are my favorite drivers in that order, Vettel is in a place where even Spain's mighty Sun can't shine.

That's true, Vettel can do what he wants, nothing will change the opinion of some people.
Why are they speaking in their own languages?
To see how good he is you only have to see how he dominated his team mate.

Took me long enough to work out this sentence, but it just boils down to 'no you!'.
Hilarious.

They had to try if it would work after first malfunction. They should ask Mercedes about it, they have a lot of experience with stuck DRS
Alonso had some luck with drivers wasting tires in front of him in battles (Button, Rosberg)

Has anyone seen any Button interviews? I want to see if he whines about how his teammate dared to race him (whilst he was massively holding him up).

As annoying as Omiee can be, more annoying is how all of his "betters" keep reacting to him. It's making this thread shit, even on race day.
Give it a fucking break.
Give it a fucking break.
It's not just that. But yeah, both sides of that one are not helping.
They will bring almost B-spec car to Barcelona. RBR, Mercedes and Lotus are also bringing loads of new parts.
He said that he overheated his tyres too much, that the racing was excellent out there today, except Checo who was too aggressive. At 300kph you don't expect your team mate to pull alongside and bang wheels.

I hadn't actually seen your post when I started mine, but it sort of fits, yeah.

Pretty easy to replicate the positions of the cars / directions they're facing. Cool though.
With all 4 tyres as tracking points its probably not that difficult. It's still very clever.
It'll also be being done for specific parts, not the entire race.

Thinks his PR is better than yours.
That's pretty much why I just don't post in the thread much. I thought there would be more good discussions, but it always just get's overwhelmed and turned in to a fanboy bitch fest.

That analysis was really interesting. Clearly Button's fault that Perez hit him, but also really, really clever by Button.
My apologies to Ferrari, my cursed predictions strike again.
More impressive race than I expected today, some fantastic racing on the track. Actually quite surprised that Hamilton managed to come home in 5th, good result for him considering how poor the Mercedes was this weekend, Rosberg not so much.
A real shame about Alonso and Massa, I really expected them to be up there this weekend, hopefully this spurs Pirelli into making tyres that don't die after three laps.
A very enjoyable race all through.
Solid driving by Vettel, Räikkönen, Grosjean, Di Resta, Hamilton and the McLaren boys.
I'm glad to see that Grosjean is back after that rocky start of the season. Europe should be good for Lotus. Shame thing for Force India if they could have some tiny bit of luck come their way.
A shame that Di Resta missed out on his first podium but I'm sure he will get it this season.
I think Räikkönen has started training a bit too early for becoming a Red Bull driver with two Webber starts in a row.
Lastly, I'm wondering where the blame is to be put for the DRS and tyre failures at Ferrari. What happens if it turns out Pirelli is to blame for the tyres? A fine?
Barcelona will be exciting no doubt.

Should be great to see how all the upgrades pan out.
From what i read RBR and Lotus are bringing updates right?

They all are.
Everyone should be bringing updates to Barcelona.

I correctly got 1st, 2nd, 5th, and 7th which isn't too bad I guess.
It was a great race, which is surprising because I find this track boring as hell. Vettel dominated, that boy, too good. The opening few laps against Rosberg and Alonso were fantastic.
It's a shame what happened to Alonso, but he did pretty good managing the situation though. I don't think he could have won as Vettel just looked rock solid today. Massa Jesus, that guy can't catch a break.
And fuck yeah Lotus, nice work boys. Kimi, love ya man. You can never count that guy out, no matter how shitty the situation looks. Grojean did well, hopefully he gets a bit more confidence now.
Di Resta! Good show man, good show! Would have been cool to see Force India on the podium, they've really improved.
Hamilton and Perez did great. Rosberg, Button, and Webber, not so much. This could be the boost Perez needs to get his gears running, Button better not let up.
Overall the race was more than I expected.
high 5 !
