That TV. The struggle is real.

 

[iceagecoming]

lol wtf at the massive kyvat face jacket that guy was wearing.

 

[kiyomi]

Was it me or was the BBC feed momentarily a high frame rate? It looked way smoother than it normally does.. then it went back to normal.

The BBC online streams are 60fps now, have been since a couple of weeks.

 

[stryke]

lol and Alonso has the "better" engine.

Ah, only when it's at its' maximum quality, though. Which.. the BBC streams almost never are. For some reason mine drops to 240p or something dumb whenever it feels like it.

It's 60FPS now which is super nice.

 

[Mastah]

lol and Alonso has the "better" engine.

Nah, they reverted to older one. Still, dissapointing performance by him.

 

[stryke]

Nah, they reverted to older one. Still, dissapointing performance by him.

Wait, why? I thought they used all the tokens for this weekend....

 

[Mastah]

Yes, they did, but Mclaren want to use that new engine in Austin, when they think it's their only remaining chance of scoring points this year.

 

[kiyomi]

Wow yeah, onboard 60FPS looks great.

 

[Mastah]

Ah yes, Button had extra warm-up lap, while Alonso hadn't. That would make a difference here in Sochi.

 

[Aiii]

Come on guys, McLaren is just ONE token away from catching Mercedes.

 

[Mastah]

lol wtf at the massive kyvat face jacket that guy was wearing.

 

[stryke]

wow what happened with Massa.

 

[herod]

Super Max

 

[Mastah]

wow what happened with Massa.

Lack of skills and mistakes happened

Grosjean trashing Maldonado by 1 second too.

 

[Zaru]

Lmao @ Alonso taking a positive from his out in Q1: At least he didn't drive too many kilometers on that engine

 

[kharma45]

"Eddie talking out his arse as usual" hahahahaha

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

Lol @ Horner

 

[Ruruja]

Finally someone said it.

 

[Ce-Lin]

lol and Alonso has the "better" engine.

Spanish TV he said he was not pushing the machinery and was asked to "look after Jenson' chance to make it to Q2" so basically no point in destroying the car just to knock out your own team mate when you're starting the race dead last anyway.

 

[SunhiLegend]

 

[Mastah]

Mmm, ok?

 

[Ce-Lin]

Every time Rosberg beats Hamilton I wonder whether Hamilton is overrated or Rosberg underrated, the media making Hamilton looking like a God then he fails and it's just embarrassing, but of course they won't write the same sensationalist reports as they used to when Massa beat Alonso in qualifying.

 

[PdotMichael]

Mmm, ok?

Drivers didn't follow the script.

Lewis had annihilated Nico in qualies this season. Your argument would make sense if the fight was even close this season.

 

[aspiegamer]

Well that's a rather anti-climactic conclusion. Go Bottas!

Yes, they did, but Mclaren want to use that new engine in Austin, when they think it's their only remaining chance of scoring points this year.

That makes sense, I guess? It's really not a power track and sector 1 combined with the current lack of front downforce in the current generation of cars creates a natural gap they'll pray to holds on the back straight. Sector 3 would be back in their favor. There'll be zero way to hide the lack of power on the final 3 tracks, though.

God, that front downforce thing is killing so many tracks.

 

[TCRS]

so many mistakes smh

lol massa

 

[DrM]

looks like temp dropped at the end and track deteriorated

 

[Ce-Lin]

Lewis had annihilated Nico in qualies this season. Your argument would make sense if the fight was even close this season.

yeah I was taking into account last season too, feels good to see Rosberg' hard work paying off even if it's just a couple of races, not an easy situation your team mate being praised even when walking his dog and Rosberg criticized for every minor mistake.

 

[Mokubba]

Lewis doing an in depth study lol

 

[spuckthew]

Hamilton peeved

 

[DrM]

Looks like Mercedes either sorted their issues from Singapore or colder weather is helping them

 

[Rock Hardy]

Oh, I agree. Nico is a legit fast driver, and he gets a lot of undeserved stick from fans and the media, despite giving Lewis the best challenge since his rookie season. He was simply untouchable today.

 

[Zeknurn]

I'm stating the obvious but the on track action is not as exciting as the off track action.

I'm stating the obvious but the on track action is not as exciting as the off track action.

Can't wait for the race tomorrow.

 

[Madchad]

lewis having a right old look at the ferrari

 

[JadedWriter]

lewis having a right old look at the ferrari

I'm surprised he didn't try to get in it.

 

[DrM]

I can imagine Bernie parading in this outfit on the starting grid, herding drivers to sing 'Happy birthday' to Putin

 

[Rock Hardy]

Max saying no tire deg. 1-stopper confirmed?

 

[Goldrusher]

Holy shit GP2.

4 cars out in one crash.

 

[Mastah]

Red flag, barriers are too damaged.

These idiots who cut second corner and rejoined the track without slowing down should be banned. Absolutely moronic and insanely dangerous.

 

[DrM]

Guys, wait for GP3 race, that will be pure carnage

 

[Mastah]

Nigel Mansell CBE ‏@nigelmansell 8m8 minutes ago

What shocking driving in GP 2 ,just crazy years ago they would pay attention more as accidents like that would end in tears years ago

Ant Felix da Costa ‏@afelixdacosta 10m10 minutes ago

Drivers go wide, cut the track and go over track limits like changing shirts... Then these things happen...

The darkness is coming:

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Yeah, that's what F1 needs, even fewer competitive teams.

Red Bull aren't competitive.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

Was expecting this. Not disappointed.

 

[iceagecoming]

even gp2 is boring around here

 

[Mastah]

Last year it was quite exciting, it just needs full distance to pan out.

Also, in a race when they could push these tyres to the limit, Lynn crashed out and Vandoorne almost repeated the feat. Just shows how difficult it is on the limit, in contrast to nursing Pirellis.

 

[navanman]

Now for something different:

 

[Zeknurn]

This fuckhead deserves a race ban
