It's especially exciting because..... Merc didn't win.

Hell yes.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Someone translate the German!

Couldn't really hear what they were saying.

 

[Hasney]

Best race of the year so far. Wow.

Prefer Bahrain as I prefer to see the action on the track rather than issues and crashes, but this was still fantastic.

 

[friday]

First race I have all season. Wow.

 

[Konosuke]

No German hymn today guys! DANNY BOY THANK YOU!

 

[Omiee]

I know vettel had some bad luck this year but man ricardio will be happy as hell to beat a 4 time world champion.

 

[MrJustinius]

It's Massa's fault I feel.

The onus in the overtaking move is on the car behind. Even if Perez broke early, he had brake issues that Massa would have known about. Should have stuck further inside and he'd have had the place.

 

[Veins]

Go RIC

 

[Tobe]

danny with the biggest smile of his life

 

[ramparter]

Glad that Ros extended his lead, I expect Lewis to win more races anyway so better postpone the inevitable...

 

[DrM]

Man of the race : Nico

With barely working car lasted for 29 laps.

 

[kiyomi]

This might be the only time I've ever been happy for a Red Bull driver to win.

Mental race. Canada delivers again. Such a pity Hamilton went out though.

 

[Dilly]

Yay, I can definitely root for Ricciardo. Might have found someone to replace Kubica as my second driver.

 

[ElTorro]

holy fuck that looked terrifying. amazing they can walk away from that

20 years ago, both would have been severely injured or dead. Just remember Häkkinen's crash in 1995. This crash was worse.

 

[Road]

Many thanks to our Mercedes god. Them coming to the mortal world made the other teams believe they could win and start to race for real. They just forgot to tell Hamilton when to stop with the act.

But that's the only way another car is going to win the race. Good for Ricciardo for taking his chance. By far the most impressive driver of the year for me.

Massa massaing. If Williams change their entire human element, maybe they can still finish 3rd on the teams championship. Force India has a slightly worse car, but it's outdoing them because they have a better everything else.

And how the hell is Button 4th? Haha

Points for everyone in this race. Only 10 finished.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

Great job Ricciardo. I just hope that anyone took your glory today.

Vettel in 3rd, still a weird thing to look.

Also I need to see how Button manage to finish in 04th.

 

[Juz]

Gotta love Riccy's smile.

 

[Nicktendo86]

Hamilton must be screwing.

 

[Hasney]

Yay, I can definitely root for Ricciardo. Might have found someone to replace Kubica as my second driver.

Yeah, it's a shame that Kubica's never going to make it back though.

 

[Xater]

Someone translate the German!

I would have if I could actually hear anything they were saying. Was way too low on my feed.

 

[mangochutney]

I think Perez made a slight move to the left. Still no reason for Massa to be that close...

I think a combo of ever so slight move to the center of the track along with a bit of braking and Massa just want not alert enough.

I'd say that Massa to blame as a result. Even if Perez did move and even if he did floor the brakes Perez was ahead.

 

[Pizza Luigi]

Where is the F1 theme song?

 

[keit4]

Gotta love Danny. The guy is very likable, unlike his teammate.

 

[h3ro]

Double points finish for Ferrari!! Wooo!!



...

:/

 

[nny]

Good job on the anthems, very easy to mix up those countries.

 

[Konosuke]

What made this race so sweet was the crowd roaring when Danny took 1st and through out the race. Keep the V6s!

 

[Gareth Bale]

Hamilton must be screwing.

Today couldn't have gone much worse outside of the obvious

 

[Lach]

How long since we didn't have the german anthem play?

After watching the crash multiple times I think its a racing incidient....Perez brakeing very early (his brake problems) and going a bit to the left gave Massa hardly any chance. Perez had to see how close he is in the mirror.

 

[Dutch Gronk]

Double points finish for Ferrari!! Wooo!!



...

:/

WE'RE BAAAAHAAAAAAAAACK!

 

[Ark]

That trophy is cool as shit

 

[markao]

Still super weird that both Mercedes cars dropped their power within a single lap?

 

[Tempy]

Best race of the year so far. Wow.

I'd say Bahrain was better with more passes and fights. But this is a good 2nd

 

[Dilly]

Yeah, it's a shame that Kubica's never going to make it back though.

Definitely, I still rate him very high.

Those crashes were like at 200km/h frontal? Must be weird to see that coming as a driver and nothing you can do.

 

[Staab]

Bernie's red button into play !

 

[pants]

Happy for Rosberg, extremely disappointed on behalf of Perez, fucking Massa. Also sad Hulk got overtook near the end.

 

[Norwegian Rudo]

I would have if I could actually hear anything they were saying. Was way too low on my feed.

Nico said he had no KERS. Vettel seemed flabbergasted at the amount of power the Merc must have to keep ahead without it for what, almost 30 laps?

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Razgreez]

Crowd was vocal all race long though. The upside of less noisy engines

 

[DrM]

Looks like ERS and brakes related. Rosberg had brakes in better condition, so he managed to save them. meanwhile Lewis roasted them.

It could be due to early safety car. Dunno, they will check.

Also no words for Felipe. Incompetent overtaker, other driver would blast both RBRs and Perez in S3 in single lap. Vettel will be dreaming those flying cars in front of him.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Yay, I can definitely root for Ricciardo. Might have found someone to replace Kubica as my second driver.

I love what I've seen of him so far. Just seems so damn happy all the time and having fun.

 

[Yagami_Sama]

I Imagine the lecture that engineers will have later.

 

[Tempy]

Ricciardo's smile really makes him way more marketable than Vettel

 

[Omiee]

holy shit, the mercs are way to fast.

 

[ramparter]

Rosberg was really lucky, of all his chasers only Perez wasn't able to pass him and gave him a lot of time. Had Massa not crash maybe even him and Seb would pass him too in the last lap.

 

[ElTorro]

Still super weird that both Mercedes cars dropped their power within a single lap?

Must be a software bug. Either some time- or distance-based function broke based on the current elapsed time/distance, or some remote command broke something. No way both engines broke down at almost the same time without some kind of casual connection.

 

[MrJustinius]

How long since we didn't have the german anthem play?

Spanish Grand Prix last year. 14 months or about 23 races ago.

 

[PdotMichael]

Someone translate the German!

Rosberg said that he had problems since the first pit stop.

 

[markao]

I Imagine the lecture that engineers will have later.

AT least you know it is not something completely random, must be easy to find and address for them.

 

[mclem]

Abu Dhabi?
Edit: ah, I was looking at pole. Yes, Spain.

Rosberg was on the radio complaining about the brakes well before Hamilton had a problem though
