2014 Grand Prix du Canada

[niky]

Rosberg lucky he didn't bin that car.

Let's see if Lewis can pip him in the pits.... nope.

 

[Wiegert]

Rosberg's really on the edge. Nearly lost it coming out of turn 4 (or was it 9?).

 

[CAMikaze]

Quoth a ice hockey play-by-play man...

"Save and a Beauty!" for Rosberg.

 

[Danny]

Macks Chiltern is not happy. King of passive-aggressive.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Looks like Maldonado is out with something flapping on his car, Hulk takes Vettel!

 

[TenEightyOne]

I do wish Ted Kravitz didn't happen :\

 

[ZEROX]

Vettel overshoot his braking point. That's a rare one. For now.

 

[CAMikaze]

Vettel overshoot his braking point. That's a rare one. For now.

Had to diamond-cut the hairpin corner there.

 

[Wiegert]

Left rear issue for Kobayashi sent him for a spin at turn 2. Cue another retirement.

 

[CarBastard]

Kobayashi bad dorifto

 

[ZEROX]

Aaand there's go Kobay to retired. Out are the backmarker team here.

Cheating Git rosberg.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

That was sneaky!

 

[CAMikaze]

Rosberg to lose P1 for that boo-boo?

 

[MHPALA]

He better not get away with that.

 

[niky]

Kamui turns Drift King. Broken suspension. Poor boy.

Nico didn't gain a place from that. Don't know if the stewards will say anything... but he did go completely off track, gaining an advantage. Let's see what happens.

 

[Ninners]

Nico did a fastest lap while cutting the chicane there. Interesting.

 

[Peter.]

He completely straightlined the last corner. There's no way he should be allowed to get away with that. Isn't there a new 5 second penalty now?

 

[ZEROX]

Rosberg under investigation.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Nico did a fastest lap while cutting the chicane there. Interesting.

Interesting indeed, stewards are investigating now, not sure what they can do. I'd rather see him passed on track than under penalty to be honest...

 

[Ninners]

He's under investigation now.

 

[CAMikaze]

I imaging telemetry will come into play for this review. Derek Daly being one of the stewards this weekend.

 

[Dhalism]

the most blatant corner cutting ever in F1?

 

[niky]

Nico to be investigated for going off.

Exceeding track limits.

Don't recall what penalty goes with that... I don't think it's ever been invoked before... because people usually lose pace when going off... they don't gain it...

"Lewis, don't try anything, Nico's under investigation." - Good radio advice for Lewis.

 

[dhandeh]

Rosberg cracking under pressure and reaping rewards from it. Again.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

No doubt Nico gained ground on Hami with that mistake.

Hate for the lead to be handed over like that, though.

 

[lbsf1]

As with Bahrain, Nico is coming off the apex of the previous turn, and technically, he can't give space if he's at racing pace, as the next apex is on the racing line on his way out of the previous turn... so Lewis can't force him to give way, just as Nico couldn't force Lewis to give way going around the outside in Bahrain.

If you compare Vettel to Nico at the first corner you can see that Nico could have been tighter if he wanted to be, he ran that wide on purpose. As I said before, its borderline on whether he should have given him room.

Nico definately should get penalised for that however, he used the shortcut to gain an advantage whilst not position it was a time advantage. Perfect opportunity for the 5 second pit stop penalty.

 

[m8h3r]

I think they might give Rosberg the 5 seconds on his next pit stop.

 

[Danny]

Cheating Git rosberg.

Rosberg cracking under pressure and reaping rewards from it. Again.

Don't be a Bitter Betty.

Force India really not on the pace today. 👎 I hope the pit strategy pays off.

 

[dhandeh]

To be honest we have all done that on the last chicane at Le Mans on GT!
