2014 Formula 1 Russian Grand Prix

If the Mercedes cars collide we just might see Bottas or Button winning the race.

Now that I'd like to see!

 

[Dennisch]

Rosberg just claimed on the radio that his tyres will make it easily to the end, well not easy but they still feel good for now.

Also, Vettel's race pace is rivalling Kimi's. Dull and underwhelming.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I hear they're going to hire fortune tellers and wizards just for this race next year

Nothing would make me happier seeing Button win the race.

 

[Legro]

Hope that Ricciardo can pass Alonso without losing too much time.

 

[niky]

How would he get pushed off the track, because he got too nervous under braking...

Well, considering Rosberg ran Bottas off the road on that last overtake (arguably legal, but naughtly), I don't think he's the one who will be getting nervous in such a situation.

To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if that happened either. There's no excuses for his struggles with the brakes anymore; he should have got on top of it by now. And apart from his collision with Hamilton in Spa, his lock up at the first corner is the dumbest thing I've seen all year.

 

[Dennisch]

Rosberg is 18 seconds behind. No way in hell he will catch Hamilton.

 

[NW48]

Gap from Hamilton to Rosberg is 18.7secs. With 10 laps to go, Rosberg would need a miracle to win this one.

 

[Rage Racer]

2 dictators together...

You're falling for politics in an inappropriate place

 

[NW48]

Perez has been told that fuel is absolutely critical.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Well, considering Rosberg ran Bottas off the road on that last overtake (arguably legal, but naughtly), I don't think he's the one who will be getting nervous in such a situation.

I don't know the guy is 1-1 in the nervous to brave meter today so...it could go either way if it were to happen.

 

[NW48]

JB has just done his PB trying to catch Bottas for the final spot on the podium. The gap is 6.3secs now.

 

[Blitz24]

Mercedes will move up from 2nd to first and be the only team to podium twice at the Russian GP in the past century .

 

[niky]

Oh... look. Lewis has a tiny flat spot. Afternoon ruined. Wah. How gripping.

Not.


Eight laps to the end. The question is if eight laps is enough for Bottas to pull up to Nico for a move. I'm betting... no.

 

[NW48]

Bottas sets a new fastest lap. 1.41.830

 

[Dennisch]

Oh... look. Lewis has a tiny flat spot. Afternoon ruined. Wah. How gripping.

Not.

You can tell how a race is going when that sort of situation is worth a slow mo replay.

 

[Legro]

I can't believe that Rosberg's tires can last this long.

 

[G.T.Ace]

Well, it turned out like a normal F1 race, boring and dull.

 

[Vinylshark]

Looking at the championship, I hope Nico will keep second place.

 

[NW48]

Perez's fuel is desperate now.

Gap from Rosberg to Bottas 5.1secs.

 

[20832]

Wow, RTL just said they're going to let us watch the whole last 6 laps without a commercial break. THAT's amazing!

 

[20832]

Oh, and I hope that Bottas is going to cath Rosberg. I don't think that Rosberg's tyres aren't as proper as he claims

 

[dhandeh]

Well, it turned out like a old F1 race, boring and dull.

Fixed.

 

[niky]

Star... Fox... errh... Starfox?... hasn't gone to commercial in the past fifteen minutes.

I'd be happy about that if more were happening than an overtake every five of those fifteen...

 

[Vinylshark]

Wow, RTL just said they're going to let us watch the whole last 6 laps without a commercial break. THAT's amazing!

If you don't like the RTL broadcast simply don't watch it.
Buy Sky and watch the races there and search the internet for livestreams.

All season, the fuel usage has been regularly shown during the telecast. Today where fuel is possibly the most interesting part, it's barely been shown at all(think I saw it once 25 laps ago).

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I can't believe that Rosberg's tires can last this long.

Sure you can, new track, and Pirelli engineers who replaced those of last year are afraid to be beheaded if they pick the wrong tire. So they pick the wrong tire on the safe side and go too hard of a compound. Super Softs and Softs would have been a better choice.

 

[Legro]

Bottas sets fastest lap.

 

[Akmuq]

This is like a Bridgestone race.
