ouch.

hate that for a smaller team.

Ted saying that there's a rumour that Ferrari might finally abandon the pullrod suspension next year.

Has the Perez flip been GIFed yet? I'm at work and it wont play the vid on bbc site :{

Is that the new wind tunnel excuse from now on?

 

[massivekettle]

Seems like Red Bull has found something. They are legit best of the rest so far.

 

[Aiii]

Sainz must be really glad it's always Verstappen with them Renault engine problems hehe.

 

[Zeknurn]

Well it is still a Newey designed car which helps when the power unit isn't the deciding factor like everywhere else.

Alonso is on P8, too. Both teams must've unlocked some power!

Now look what you did.

 

[brotkasten]

Now look what you did.

Yup, time to lock that power up again.

"Ricciardo has pulled off track, with smoke coming from his Red Bull. The session has now been red flagged"

 

[dubc35]

Yep, he just got GAF'd!

e*
"I think I was going too fast", mocks Ricciardo, who confirms his engine has "gone."

 

[Aiii]

As I said, Sainz is the only person running Renault engines that isn't having that much problems, relatively speaking.

-Edit: Oh Verstappen had an electronic issue, so the engine should be fine.

Next year is gonna be so good. No more pull rod suspension, no more broken windtunnels, no more Luca Mozarello and German Jesus.

Will there be a race Ferrari isn't gonna win next year? I'm gonna go with no.

 

[Aiii]

Kvyat: "[Ericsson's] not a very nice guy."

Oh my.

Good, he's spinning way too much, twice today.

It's impossible that he isn't going to win the title. He can't win it this season, because he's obviously fighting the devil in that car.

"14:21 Vettel has another spin, this time at the first corner"

But next year, man. Next year...

e: Wasn't the race engine, so no grid penalty for Ricciardo. Yet.

Well it is still a Newey designed car which helps when the power unit isn't the deciding factor like everywhere else.

Renault (and Honda) may have improved drivability, though, not necessarily outright power.

That said, no doubt at all that both their chassis are better than their engine relatively speaking...

Missed the crash. Does anyone have an upload at hand?

Thanks!

Funny crash. The front-right tyre really bit him in the arse.

 

[acm2000]

perez gone did an upside down oopsie

 

[stryke]

Oh good it was an old engine. Ric won't cop a penalty.

Nice! They loved that Honda engine too.

Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball) was a big fan of Senna:

There are other drawings made by him.

FP3 is a go!

e: BREAKING NEWS: Jenson Button is complaining about the grip of his car!

The silly weekend continues at Force India. It's not like Hulk needed that rear light cover anyway.

Some other tidbits:
The weather forecast for tomorrow is thunderstorm.
Ferrari rumored to bring ahead their engine upgrades to Spa instead of Monza.

 

[brotkasten]

Ferrari rumored to bring ahead their engine upgrades to Spa instead of Monza.

I hope so. Even if it's just to get ahead of Williams again.

 

[Zeknurn]

Kimi's car has a "dramatic" water leak.

GG Ferrari.

I guess Kravitz had old information since it looks like the thunderstorms will hit tonight instead.

 

[brotkasten]

I wonder what happened to the "Ferrari performs well in hot conditions" narrative.

Vettel is best of the rest in terms of single lap pace. I don't think we can read much into the race pace from yesterday with how many issues everyone were having with the slippery track.

 

[stryke]

lol nico what are you doing...

 

[tomtom94]

I guess Kravitz had old information since it looks like the thunderstorms will hit tonight instead.

So if the thunderstorms hit tonight then that'll wash away most of the rubber on track... that could make the first few laps interesting.

 

[Xando]

Wtf happened to Williams there?

 

[Zeknurn]

Indeed.

Wtf happened to Williams there?

This track is the opposite of what Williams build their car for.

BBC are currently showing a programme called "F1 Rewind - First Wins" where Suzi Perry and Murray Walker go over some famous drivers' first wins, we're currently watching Senna's win at the Portuguese Grand Prix in '85.

Formula 1 testing will return to Paul Ricard next year, Motorsport.com can reveal, with Pirelli organising a two-day wet weather run.

The test will take place on January 25-26 next year, using 2015 cars, and all current teams have been invited to participate.

The whole of the two days will be devoted to wet running, with Pirelli making use of the circuit's sprinkler system.

Good.

Their Barcelona upgrade happened. That upgrade was more like step backwards...

I'm so shocked.

Well considering the Italian press is already speculating Allison might go, that says it all.

P.S.: Hate how all the drivers are ignoring the track limits.

If Senna is Goku then who is Yamcha? Berger?

 

[kharma45]

Who were they in the lotus garage?

Carmen Jorda, Maldonado's Wife and some old white guy.


Yeah.. Hamilton has won this race. GG go next.

 

[kharma45]

Not a bad effort from button. Wonder how it holds up when the rest try softs

Wait, Allison might get fired? What the fuck. Isn't the SF15T the first car he completely developed?

 

[Ty4on]

McLaren were hoping for Q3...
