Tires should not play this big of a deal in this sport.

4 hours from now I believe.
I use it all the time and I never skip the little intro.
Nap time. Race is at 3am for me.
Tyres should always play a part in a rce, they are the interface between the car and the track. You don't want a tyre manufacturer to be more important than the chassis manufacturer, sure, that's why everyone has the same tyres.

I wouldn't mind the tyres being so crap if they gave a commensurate return in performance. But they are slower and more fragile than last year. If they were 2s a lap faster I would be fine with that.
JPM still holds the lap record at Sepang from like 2003. V10 v V8 but still!

Lots of the track records are from 2004ish. Of the tracks that were used in 2004 or earlier: Melbourne, 2004. Bahrain, 2004. Catalunya, 2008. Montreal, 2004. Current Hungaroring, 2004. Interlagos, 2004. Monaco, 2004. Monza, 2004. NurburgringGP, 2004. Shanghai, 2004. Silverstone Arena layout, 2009. Silverstone Bridge layout, 2004. Suzuka, 2005.
I mean, come on. Nobody was complaining the cars were too slow last year.

Before judging anything, one should look for explanations and reasons:

Now look at where Turns 12-15 are to see that YT footage only shows Rosberg after Turn 14, so we have no idea what happened between Turns 12 and 14. Sterwards did, hence the penalty for blocking.

Speaking of blocking, I love salt coming from Anthony Davidson on Checo-Hulk situation. He was sure there will be penalty, but once again he was wrong, lol. In Monaco last year he couldn't or rather didn't want to see on his fancy SkyPad how suspension in Sauber collapses and puts driver into barrier and tried to blame Checo, despite slow mo replay showing clearly suspension failure. Well, I guess some Mexican guy driving for McLaren and being paid handsomely, while compatriot and pal di Resta has to drive for peanuts for Force India, must hurt.

wahahaha
Easy... F1.com on the right hand side there's a countdown timer for each event, and if you scroll a bit down there's a "convert to my local time" option.

The ads are the worst part of sky. God damn, so many of them.
I want intermittent spitting rain but those look like classic deluge clouds.

They are talking about the loosing of liquid during the race on RTL. Lauda was talking about how he had a large advantage in hot races after he had his accident because he doesn't sweat through his burnt tissue (which covers his hole head) and didn't have problem of sweat getting into his eyes and obstructing his view...

A rare instance where a messed up sleep schedule is beneficial.
In bed, snowing outside, cozy as hell and ready for some F1.

Good Morning F1 GAF
Let's hope for a good race today. Last years Malaysia GP was very special for me. After nearly 20 hours of traveling I had arrived ad tokyo airport and we had to take the train into the city (about an hour). Luckily we had picked up our mobile wifi devices so I had the chance to check the internet for a live ticker of the F1 race that was still on. Turned out all the live tickers were shit and the best source of news was the Neogaf F1 Thread and continually pressing F5 on it was a great experience following this topic. Sunhi's GIF's came so quickly and gave great insight into Checo hunting down Alonso. So thank you GAF...Thank you...

Gotta get them in before Race start I guess.
Surprised by Dietrich, nice to see though.
Cars off already, Bottas with a broken wing, safety car start?

Bottas had to get a new front wing, according to Brundle.
I swear Bernie just loves stirring shit up.
"'Why not talk to Mercedes, Lewis?'" Ecclestone recalled telling Hamilton. "Lewis rolled his eyes... but I told him that he had nothing to lose as he wanted out of McLaren."

Will turn it straight off if they start under a safety car in these condition.

Wow, everyone seems to get off track at some point.

Of course not. He would get the best view being in front and can easily build a huge lead in the first lap.
That's assuming Ferrari have a bad start. Which almost never happens. Entirely possible that Massa at least gets to turn 1 first.
What the heck is going on with the judges?
Räikkönen got dropped 3 places without Mercedes even making anything of the, so called, incident with Rosberg and Niko never mentioned about it in the interviews. As if someone in the jury was determined to give penalty to Kimi and just made up a reason.

I hope Ferrari won't screw up the strategy. I'm crossing my fingers
I remember him crying a lot about rain last year even when in front but I guess the rain is actually not that bad except for that one corner or so.
Designed his own pedal box might be a bit of a stretch. Interesting though.
