SAFETY CAR

 

[Blablurn]

lol, now its getting sad

 

[PdotMichael]

A puncture is a puncture. If it was say debris from Webber's car that has fallen off as he has went round it wouldn't matter what brand it is out there, it's sharp stuff.

Not exactly...

You can design a tyre which can handle more sharp stuff than other tires if you want it.

 

[DieH@rd]

WHAT A FUCKING JOKE, RANDOM EXPLODING TYRES AT 300KMH


Red Flag this shit

 

[Salamndar]

A Fiasco!

 

[Interferon]

Red flag this shit.

yeah, it's getting out of hand

 

[DrM]

This is worse than Michelin 2005 US drama

And Safety car

 

[tHoMNZ]

Kimi and Romain could have been killed by debris right there.

 

[MrKaepora]

Pirelli, you suck! Bring back Michelin.

 

[Elvin Atombender]

If tyres keep exploding at this rate they can't keep racing.

 

[ConfusedCat]

safety car JUST for tyres

surely a F1 first?

 

[olore]

Here comes the SLS...

 

[JardeL]

WHOA, 3 punctures in a row. Pirelli is on fire!

Kimi was very lucky btw.

SAFETY CAR!!

 

[Omiee]

Vettel has damage on his tires as well? fucking helll stop this race!!!!!

 

[Dead Man]

Vettel had a damaged left rear too.

 

[kharma45]

No way, this is just idiotic hate.

People jumping to conclusions far too early was idiotic rather than waiting to see how the rest of the race pans out and hearing from drivers, Pirelli themselves, the FIA etc.

 

[ramparter]

Vettel has a problem too!!!!! F... yeah, thank you Pirelli, you are the tyres God!!!

 

[Adamm]

This is a joke

 

[Gareth Bale]

Damage to his left rear but no puncture

Vettel's luck...

 

[duckroll]

This is seriously not a safe race. If they can't fix it, they should stop it.

 

[DrM]

Here comes the SLS...

Maybe even his tires will implode

 

[keit4]

Safety car. Good for the race.

 

[Salacious Crumb]

What a fucking shambles, I'll be embarrassed to say I follow F1 after this farce.

 

[Acidote]

I know most of us like more... classic F1 races, but this is insane. They're going to get a pilot killed.

 

[Addnan]

Raikkonen is pretty lucky. He was getting hit in the face with debris. People have been hurt by less.

 

[Omiee]

Vettel has a problem too!!!!! F... yeah, thank you Pirelli, you are the tyres God!!!

Seriously?

 

[Stimpy]

It's looking much more likely now, I just don't like jumping to conclusions straight off just because it's Pirelli

It's Pirelli it's just easier to always assume they fucked up

 

[Shaneus]

Vettel had a damaged left rear too.

Just heard that, luckily for him they said that after he came in. I don't know if they can continue the race due to safety concerns. Only a matter of time until it pops in the wrong area of the track and goes straight into a wall.

 

[Chris R]

Maybe even his tires will implode

I laughed

 

[The_Joker]

 

[Ce-Lin]

where is the red flag ???? are they waiting for someone to die ?? this is unacceptable

 

[Zeppu]

We could've had new tyres by this race. But noooo...

 

[Mastah]

Who will defend Pirelli now? It was clear these 7 failures before this race won't be the last ones. And BTW, FUCK YOU Ferrari, Force India and Lotus for blocking introducing safe tyres!

 

[kharma45]

It's Pirelli it's just easier to always assume they fucked up

And now at this stage I do agree that it is a problem with the tyre and not anything else.

 

[Omiee]

This is all lotus fault. They were the ones who veto'd going to the old tires.

 

[jambo]

Pretty sure Vettel's damaged tyre was the ond they took off

 

[Salamndar]

Bring back Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone...Hell ask Hankook for tires!!!

 

[PjotrStroganov]

safety car JUST for tyres

surely a F1 first?

It's for removing the debris, no doubt.

 

[Adamm]

How can they keep this race going? They cant just sit behind the safety car

 

[Ark]

Ever wondered what Indy 2007 would have looked like if they let the Michelin's race? Well here you go.

What a fucking shambles.

 

[G-Unit]

I told you you tucks this f1 focused on tires was bullshit but you defended this crap. This is no racing. I rather schumie years than artificial races last few years

 

[Orbis]

Race needs to be red flagged. This is far to dangerous.

Absolutely. Lets everyone change tyres and gives Pirelli a chance to investigate what the hell is going on.

 

[Omiee]

Fuck you ferrari fuck you lotus and fuck you force india for blocking new tires you f*ckers!!

 

[Arcticfox]

There could be something on one of the curbs they drive over that is weakening the tire, but I do not know why the front would not be affected.

 

[Ark]

I told you you tucks this f1 focused on tires was bullshit but you defended this crap. This is no racing. I rather schumie years than artificial races last few years

I've been saying this since very early last year. The Bridgestone's were never the problem to begin with.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

I bet it's the curbs cutting the tires.

 

[nny]

This is just ridiculous.

 

[Shaneus]

Interesting they didn't mention any tyre wear on Webber's car *at all*. So bizarre.

I bet it's the curbs cutting the tires.

Vergne's blowout happened on a straight under almost zero stress.

 

[Meteorain]

I bet Kimi had an impassive do not give a fuck face when he saw that tyre explode in front of him.

 

[moojito]

Dat safety car engine sound. Damn!
