Dan what are you doing it's not an actual bus stop

 

[kiyomi]

It's actually starting to get quite overcast now.

 

[Shaneus]

Electronics shut down completely, could see all the LEDs disappear.

Maybe he's running an unpatched version of Codies' F1 2015.

 

[Jezbollah]

Danny gave us more entertainment in that half race than others do in one.

 

[Zeknurn]

Tom and Lee reporting that the clouds are building up.

[duckroll]

His car got bored. Went right to sleep.

 

[John_B]

Rosberg stole 1.5 seconds, hehe.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[kiyomi]

Rosberg went from 3.4 seconds to 1.8 seconds under the SC. Rosberg the cheat.

Raindrops on Kimi's lense?

 

[Aiii]

Max vs. Kimi, I'm game.

 

[stryke]

The one race he gets a great start and this is how the gods repay him.

 

[dakun]

Rosberg got a second out of the vsc. Broken system

The French Gods are cruel indeed.

 

[Garrus Vakarian]

Spa is on the blue pin.

 

[Juicy Bob]

He would've gained more under a real SC.

 

[kiyomi]

Spa is on the blue pin.

I only see a purple pin, can I work for Williams?

 

[Tubie]

"Hi Fernando, It might rain"

"Ok"

"We'll keep you posted"

"Fuck my life.. oops"

 

[ramparter]

Spa is on the blue pin.

Are you the guy that fit Bottas rear right tire?

 

[dakun]

He would've gained more under a real SC.

Yeah but isn't part of point for the vsc that the gaps stay the same.

Anyway Hamilton got his gap back

 

[Shaneus]

Are you the guy that fit Bottas rear right tire?

Bahahaha.

You can tell how much the excitement has gone from F1. Few years ago a race could easily get 5-10 100pp pages, now we'll be lucky to get one or two.

 

[Ruruja]

Garrus is Williams rear wheel mechanic confirmed.

 

[Dilly]

Yeah but isn't part of point for the vsc that the gaps stay the same.

There is no system that would guarantee all the gaps to stay the same.

 

[bobnowhere]

Massa fastest lap, wonder what random collection of tires produced that.

 

[Aiii]

As Sky explained, if the VSC ends when Rosberg is at the start of a quick straight and Hamilton is at the end of it going into a slow pace, Rosberg would close the gap due to that.

 

[TCRS]

even if nothing exiting is happening race wise I love watching the belgian GP because I love the track. one of the few classic tracks left and it's just beautiful.

To be fair, many of those posts were variants of "fuck Vettel".

 

[Risgroo]

Bahahaha.

Eh, I think the constant bickering and shitposting drove a lot of people away, plus we're stuck in fucking community.
Thread's a lot more civil, at least

true that. WEC there is awesome too.

or "no Webber is good honest, he's just unlucky"

Eh my bad, got Chelsea on the mind lol

Spoiler

I also have slight color-blindness

 

[Ruruja]

HAM using more fuel than ROS, think that's the first time I've ever seen that.

Thread's a lot more civil, at least

80% of this thread's posts are the same circlejerk over and over.

Loldonado
Fucking lol McLaren
Kimi waste of space
Omg senpai Verstappen notice me pls bby

Also every time you try to have a conversation/debate, someone will chime in with a quick "nah you're wrong, idiot".

And yeah, being stuck in community after not even two weeks whilst the fucking Arrow thread was in OT for-fucking-ever is a joke.

 

[aspiegamer]

I can't take RBR's complaints about Renault 100% seriously when they pass a Williams at top speed.

 

[Dilly]

Community is where threads go to die.

Williams did a Williams and went with a high downforce setup while Red Bull went with their Monza spec. Comparing Lotus and Red Bull would be more apt.

Edit: Also DRS is far too effective at this track.

DRS is artificial shit and needs to go.

Discuss.

DRS ruining any form of racing since forever.

 

[ramparter]

So they matched Ferrari after all.

 

[kiyomi]

Agreed. Defense is a lost art with DRS.

 

[Leonsito]

Vettel trying 1-stop? What is this madness.

 

[ElTorro]

You could also argue that DRS just compensates for the artificial distortion of actual driver/car performance caused by dirty air.

It compensates far too much then.

 

[Massa]

It compensates far too much then.

If that were the case then two drivers would just keep swapping positions over and over again.

 

[kiyomi]

To a degree, but it's overboard and it's a poor solution to the real problem which is the dirty air.

 

[jey_16]

didnt vettel pit on lap 14? how can his tyres last this long?

 

[ElTorro]

Vettel has his towel on that 3rd podium place.

 

[Ruruja]

It's one of those classic 'treat the symptom, not the cause' scenarios, and like Monosukoi says it ruins defensive racing.

 

[kiyomi]

By driving very slowly.

 

[nny]

It will rain only during the podium interviews.
