If Nico wins this.... Good for championship maybe but soo undeserved

Nothing undeserved about it, he did his job and he did it well.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Ricky gonna win.

 

[LicenceToK1ll]

wow the RB is flying. that newey downforce

 

[kharma45]

That's the starter. Please ignore any phallic references. Even if it does look somewhat questionable. Apparently they're trying to reboot the car.

Tech support 101: "Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Now on Formula One level.

TIL that's how you fire up one of the cars.

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

haha lot of hate for HAM suddenly

Because the dude seems to think he's over and above everyone else.

He's got an ego problem that needs to be brought into check.

 

[ElTorro]

Put Vettel on suicide watch should Ricciardo win this.

 

[Tempy]

Verstappen drive-thru speeding

 

[Xando]

Alonso and Button making more points than Hamilton. Holy shit.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Alonso P5!

 

[Jucksalbe]

Good thing to come out of the safety car: we now have a fight for the top 3 shortly before the end of the race. That didn't happen all that often recently.

 

[Tubie]

Plot twist: Ricciardo wins this race.

 

[aspiegamer]

In the past they generally let that stuff go without further investigation whenever the offending car gets the worst of the situation (and in this case Lewis had to pit for a new wing). Although I'm not 100% sure of my feelings on it, at least the stewards are being consistently ruthless.

Also, wtf with Honda?

 

[brotkasten]

This race has 10 laps too many. And Ricciardo beating Vettel in a Red Bull in this season. Jesus. I'm not sure if I want to see the post-race interview. Someone is going to be really mad.

 

[PdotMichael]

Put Vettel on suicide watch should Ricciardo win this.

He will never overtake Rosberg.

That power gap.

 

[DieH@rd]

ROS choose poorly, he should have taken a faster tire when he pitted under SC. But still, ROS is still mighty fast. RIC will have a tough job.

 

[tomtom94]

Verstappen drive-thru speeding

aww man and he'd just lucked into a fifth place as well

 

[LicenceToK1ll]

Nothing undeserved about it, he did his job and he did it well.

Nah just luck, he drove a shit pace all race

 

[kharma45]

Alonso will be so pleased to get his favoured 5th place back

 

[Chuck]

I'm losing my shit here!

Also Alonso 5th!

 

[Aiii]

What a shame for Verstappen.

 

[Souldestroyer Reborn]

Vettel is quite stron in the second sector.

The second sector suits the RB.

***

McLaren in 5th and 6th?

What?

 

[Juicy Bob]

Good on Lewis for owning up for that.

 

[DieH@rd]

lol, Alonso gonna finish 5th

 

[Hana-Bi]

ROS choose poorly, he should have taken a faster tire when he pitted under SC. But still, ROS is still mighty fast. RIC will have a tough job.

Well he pitted under VSC. Seems the softs didn't work for him at the beginning.

 

[ElTorro]

Alonso, forever P5.

 

[yami4ct]

Nothing undeserved about it, he did his job and he did it well.

Aside from not screwing up like Hammy, he's done nothing memorable so far. That's not nothing, but Ricciardo and the Ferraris both had actually impressive races. We'll see how he deals with Vettel and Riccy.

 

[kharma45]

RIC takes that final corner so tight.

 

[dakun]

seems like driving alone in the back has brought him back to reality.

 

[PdotMichael]

So if Rosberg stays second he would overtake Hamilton?

 

[Xando]

Stewards throwing out penalties for free this weekend.

 

[Tempy]

aww man and he'd just lucked into a fifth place as well

Didn't seem to hurt.

 

[Ruruja]

Hamilton apologising to the team for his shit race.

Fuck that guy.


Also I thought we just had a summer break, we're having another?

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Honda:

“Our goal is to end the first half of the season with precise energy management and full use of the ERS to enable the drivers' skills to shine through at this circuit.”

Top six finish if they can run at full and it doesn't melt.

Nailed it!

 

[DieH@rd]

So if Rosberg stays second he would overtake Hamilton?

Yeah.

Jesus Maldo, again.

 

[brotkasten]

The second sector suits the RB.

***

McLaren in 5th and 6th?

What?

There's still enough time for the Honda to break down.

Alonso will be so pleased to get his favoured 5th place back

Hahah, didn't even think about that.

Put Vettel on suicide watch should Ricciardo win this.

Yeah, it's going to be insane.

 

[Jucksalbe]

So if Rosberg stays second he would overtake Hamilton?

Only if Hamilton doesn't get any points, which seems unlikely.

 

[ElTorro]

Hamilton heading for another feels phase after this race.

 

[3Sixty]

Button!

 

[Aiii]

I wish they would just give out money penalties instead of drive through for speeding, all these penalties are nuts.

 

[Chuck]

The twist is Alonso actually wins

 

[kharma45]

Holy tits Jenson

 

[thenexus6]

This race is too much! God damn!!

 

[PdotMichael]

Yeah.

That kills the Hamilton.

 

[tomtom94]

Sainz seems very slow all of a sudden, what gives?

 

[Kahoona]

Looks like that right side pod vane fell off so hopefully that make's RIC's car a bit more predictable.

 

[Tempy]

I want to see McLaren pit crew reactions dammit!

 

[Cuddler]

Hamilton can still finish 6th.

 

[brotkasten]

Hamilton heading for another feels phase after this race.

I'm glad for Hamilton that we're going into the Summer break after this race. Enough time to calm down.

 

[Aiii]

Verstappen still fifth after taking his penalty warms my Dutch heart.

Awwww, poor Sainz

 

[Ty4on]

TIL that's how you fire up one of the cars.

How did you think they did it?

If it's still like when I read it the engines can't even idle when cold so they have to heat up the engine before starting it.
