2014 Grand Prix du Canada

He didn't do it at full speed. He braked, he locked up, lost a bit of time there, THEN he had to cut the corner and gained an advantage. Cutting at full speed implies intent and a MASSIVE gain. Something like 2 or 3 seconds.

He locked up which should have cost him time, by then going straight on at the chicane he gained that time back plus a lot more. It would have been a 1.20.5 lap, by doing that he done a 1.18.6 as well as staying in front of Hamilton. Not like you will take any notice of facts though.

Massa giving 👍 in medical.

 

[Peasantslayer]

Hmm? He gained an advantage, but he didn't go "full speed", and it certainly wasn't deliberate.

Lewis got DRS again within a lap. Couldn't get the job, still.

Probably because he'd used up a bit more trying to close in or he was told to fuel save, I wonder what trick he'll have up his sleeve next time out...

 

[Samus]

Oh and yes, can we please fire the FOM director? So many stupid shots, included 10 seconds looking at Massa's brother in the pit whilst there were 5 cars duelling on the track. Even Coulthard got annoyed.

Hitting the throttle at full is full speed, hopefully you just listened to a couple of ex F1 drivers explaining that to you?

No-one's saying he reached the track VMax but then nor did you... you said he didn't set the fastest lap whilst doing that. Which he absolutely definitely and provably did.

 

[Youssef Karam]

What a race 👍 Rosberg was playing too dirty on Hamilton though even if Hamilton's retirement wasn't caused by his partner, and what a crash on the last lap between Massa and Perez

 

[SagarisGTB]

Prost replaced Villeneuve at Monaco because of him racing at Indianapolis, and unlike the other ones, he add pertinence to the comments. So i couldn't be more agree with you

Edit: And Prost see this as a race incident

Prost has always had a reasonable head and is quite impartial when he himself is not involved.

 

[CarBastard]

Fox Sports man on the circuit reports that it seems Massa and Checo are fine 👍. Here's hoping he's right because I think I saw Checo's helmet touching the wall a lil' bit .

His watch sponsor approves.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

I'm going to go now because the darts final is on and it looks brilliant!

Goodnight people!

Hehehe True story, and a gift. And she was the hot receptionist in that weird Cornish doctor thing with Martin Clunes, wasn't she? Love that accent, "moiii luvverrrrr"

If there's a Hell, I'm heading there! And I think she was, yes. Can't comment on the accent though .

Did we found out what happened to Maldozer? From the later pics of Grosjean's self-collapsing car I'm guessing it was a build issue?

Didn't see. I usually guess he's hit something or someone. Stick with what you know and all that.

That was the last straw for me. Most of the mechanics were calling for it to cut back to the cars there too.

 

[Rafael F]

I wanted Hamilton to win, bad luck for him.
Anyway, that was a great race, Perez and Massa did great until that point. Bad luck, both were pushing their limits.

 

[ZEROX]

I'm fairly satisfied with this race. Ricciardo takes his first win, last 5 lap tussel, crashes and disappointment. We need more race with walls close by, less corner and average run off area imo.

I'm glad I pulling up an all nighter for this race!

 

[Samus]

I don't think Maldonado hit anything, the flapping part was the little winglet part above the sidepod, I don't see how you could physically manage to hit anything with that.

 

[niky]

Nico's "off" comes back to the "gray area" of the rules and exploiting them. Nico didn't cheat by going off and staying full on the throttle. Because the rules don't specify a punishment for staying on the throttle when you're on the run-off and straightlining a chicane... if you're sitting in front of someone else.

But it is very, very naughty.

You can't go using proof with him. He won't believe you and your "facts."

If anyone could do it...

Damn that was close.

It's desperate and unless it's punished why wouldn't he do it again?

 

[Samus]

27G impact for Perez. Wow.

 

[GTracer98]

Damn that was close.

Imagine how he felt afterwards...

27G impact for Perez. Wow.

Really? Oh my God!

 

[Lewis_Hamilton_]

You can't go using proof with him. He won't believe you and your "facts."

I also noticed Rosberg was the one seeming shirty with his team over the radio, but a certain someone failed to mention that too. However when it's a certain other driver...

 

[Samus]

Wow, Alonso was really close to hitting Hulk.

Imagine how he felt afterwards...



Really? Oh my God!

That's what Allan McNish just reported, said Massa was likely be about the same.

 

[starknight97]

27G impact for Perez. Wow.

That's normal. I'm more interested in massa's.

 

[niky]

He can't. The stewards' "warning" is on record, which means the next time he does it, he will definitely get a penalty. Accepted etiquette is if you go off, you cede a position to the driver behind you. But it's not a rule, so he didn't feel the need to slow down at all.

Again... lucky. When Hamilton does something that isn't illegal but gains him an unfair advantage, they see fit to retroactively rewrite the rulebook to hit him with it.

 

[Ninners]

Merc tweeted this.

High-voltage control electronics failure lead to permanent loss of MGU-K drive on both cars in today's race.

They were hard on their brakes too and Hamilton retiring around 60-70% into the race was surprising. You normally only get issues towards the last few laps.

Disappointing for Ferrari to fall behind McLaren after the promise on Friday, I guess they were light on fuel.

 

[GTracer98]

That's what Allan McNish just reported, said Massa was likely be about the same.

That's close to truly dangerous, nearly fatal levels!

 

[AlvaroF]

That's normal. I'm more interested in massa's.

You'd get knocked out by 12G. That's a bit higher than usual

Not like anything short of Rosberg is Hitler gets processed in your heads though.

Probably because he'd used up a bit more trying to close in or he was told to fuel save, I wonder what trick he'll have up his sleeve next time out...

This..wow.

Hitting the throttle at full is full speed, hopefully you just listened to a couple of ex F1 drivers explaining that to you?

No. Full speed= Maximum possible speed, with or without the chicane. In other words, not braking at all.

He can get on full throttle then back off, doesn't mean it was full speed does it?

No-one's saying he reached the track VMax but then nor did you... you said he didn't set the fastest lap whilst doing that. Which he absolutely definitely and provably did.

No you're just putting words into my mouth. I said he didn't go at full speed. He did gain an advantage, and he did get the fastest lap. That's not the point. The point is the wording, always vilifying anybody against Hamilton to the maximum.

 

[ECGadget]

What a race... all I can say is WOW. Again, it was enough for me to partly forgive the terrible engines. And also, Rosberg SHOULD have been penalised for the corner cut.

Day he knows a fact is is the day he will actually not be in an argument.
