5 more laps, still no retirements.

There have been only 4 (!) races with no retirements.

No doubt a Honda should die within a lap or two.

 

[brotkasten]

It's September and commentators still praise Honda for finally getting 2 cars to the end line.

lmao

Remember what Alonso has said.

They're still in winter testing and he hopes the miracle to beat Mercedes comes from Japan.

Not bad for a number two engine.

 

[chadskin]

Hahahahaha, that was nice by Kvyat

 

[Aiii]

Sainz is in verstappens dust already.

It does seem that Verstappen is either better at preserving tire quality or Is less phased by tire degradation than Sainz, given how much quicker he is at the back end of races a lot of the time.

 

[brotkasten]

If someone still retires, McLaren could score one point! How exciting!

way to jinx it lol

I fear for his sanity, he finally broke down tonight.

 

[shaki123]

Direction is really avoiding Mercedes. Lol.

 

[Tekniqs]

Rosberg has been on an absolute charge......loses to LH by ~18 seconds

 

[kharma45]

I should've stayed in bed

 

[ElTorro]

Boring race, entertaining team radio.

 

[Tubie]

Direction is really avoiding Mercedes. Lol.

We maybe got 40 seconds from Hamilton?

 

[jey_16]

average race, Rosberg denied us some fun

 

[brotkasten]

I should've stayed in bed

Yup. So not worth it. I'm definitely going back to bed for an hour.

 

[Tubie]

It wasn't so bad for the few of us in the US.

Still, I can think of a million and one ways to better spend the last two hours lol.

 

[malyce]

As much hate Verstappen gets here (sometimes from me too) I think he's a good driver, just not as good as Sainz Jr. It would be great if they both end up being great rivals at the top one day tho.

It's like we're not even watching the same sport. I'm still lost as to what leads some of you to believe that Sainz is better than Max?

 

[Zeknurn]

Please save us Bernie.

 

[Aiii]

Nasr is getting classified.

 

[Blastoise]

Redbull had some truly bad luck.

 

[duckroll]

Is there a post-race interview with Alonso yet. Lol.

 

[Tubie]

Nico pls stop the bullshit.

 

[malyce]

We need Alsonso in that 2nd Merc seat. Rosberg disappoints every weekend.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[brotkasten]

At least Alonso has no reason to envy Vettel. Another P3, another lost championship.

Then again, they don't have a GP2 engine, so maybe he does envy them.

 

[Mobius 1]

Bah, I will look for the Alonso interviews and videos tomorrow.

 

[Mastah]

Good to hear Brundle calling it loud and clear on air what some people already pointed out yesterday. Bernie is pathetic little man and ignoring Mercedes on TV coverage on his order because they refused to supply power units to Red Bull is disgusting.

 

[ElTorro]

At least Alonso has no reason to envy Vettel. Another P3, another lost championship.

Then again, they don't have a GP2 engine, so maybe he does envy them.

He is probably more salty that his 2007 buddy Hamilton is heading towards his third championship in that Mercedes seat.

 

[Tubie]

Wow Ham is going bald fast.

 

[Kyougar]

Moin moin guys!

So I slept fine :> Nothing lost.

 

[frontieruk]

Wow Ham is going bald fast.

Thought he'd gone bald and those are hair plugs he's killing with bleach

 

[yami4ct]

Man, that GP2 Engine comment from Alonso was absolutely brutal. For a guy who's publicly been so committed to just developing the car, the lack of improvement really seems to have destroyed any molecule of enthusiasm he had left.

 

[Adam Scott Aukerman]

Kai's shirt tie is too noisy for his mic.

 

[Aiii]

Fucking Kai Ebel.

 

[Kyougar]

Kai ebel with his 400th GP and a bad microphone

 

[herod]

It's like we're not even watching the same sport. I'm still lost as to what leads some of you to believe that Sainz is better than Max?

From the same community that brought you Massa > Alonso and Webber > Vettel, can't be too surprised.

 

[brotkasten]

Aww shit. Not Kai Ebel. What a clown.

He is probably more salty that his 2007 buddy Hamilton is heading towards his third championship in that Mercedes seat.

I'd love to see Hamilton and Alonso in the Mercedes. Nico is as worthless as Kimi and he got no excuse left.

 

[Business]

Is there a post-race interview with Alonso yet. Lol.

Basically said Honda still has all his support but in situations where other drivers are going all over the place, you see them sliding out of corners, making mistakes and yet they fly past you on the straights, it's frustrating. Getting overtaken by Ericson is hard... or so Fernando said.

 

[spuckthew]

Bernie rigging the podium lol?

Edit: holy shit what is that guy wearing

 

[Tubie]

Get the fuck out Rosberg.

So useless.

 

[jey_16]

what are with these kids shouting? NICOOO

 

[brotkasten]

Thanks for the commercial plug, indeed. Vettel pulling a Nico. Ugh.

 

[Tekniqs]

lol that mic problem

 

[Tubie]

Oh man, that GP2 comment is gonna spawn a million memes

GP2 Engine, GP2 Life.

 

[Kyougar]

btw what happened to Red Bull they were nowhere.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[brotkasten]

btw what happened to Red Bull they were nowhere.

Renault happened, which is why neither Ferrari nor Mercedes want to give them engines.

Massa messed up Ricciardo's race at the start and Kyvat had realiability issues.

e: It's hilarious to see that Nico seemed to have accepted his #2 position within the team. Being happy with P2 and whatnot. He's fully transformed into Webber.

 

[yami4ct]

btw what happened to Red Bull they were nowhere.

Kvyat damaged his car in Qualifying. Started from pit lane and could not use his overtake button. Daniel wrecked into Massa and got a puncture. Destroyed his race.

 

[theignoramus]

I have been watching late 90s year reviews. These kind of parades that last ten to twenty laps when a car behind has an obvious speed advantage didn't used to happen. There were a lot more fights where the slower car managed to keep ahead, sure, but it resulted in battles, not in parades due to not being able to get within that 0.3s window of the car ahead.

And that was pre-DRS.

Lol
Jarno trulli.
Dude was infamous in the mid 2000s for backing up the field.

 

[Mastah]

And only now BBC and Sky showed Mercedes onboards from the start. Move which decided race victory completely ignored by FOM, because Bernie is pissed at Mercedes. Fuck him.
