2014 Grosser Preis Von Österreich (Austrian GP)

[niky]

So close... yet sooooo far.... Nico cocked up that corner just to troll Lewis. Ultimately, Rosberg wins!

Also Ricciardo kicks Nico (Hulkenberg) out of 8th at the end of the race. Square wheels, sharp driver.

Mercedes lost Hamilton the win there, with their poor stops, and faster ones for Rosberg. And not for the first time either.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Driver of the weekend is to Lewis, 9th to 2nd with four of those spots being gained in the first lap alone.

 

[Dhalism]

sigh... one less ****** pitstop:|

 

[Barra333]

I feel like that's an unnecessary penalty... As if teams are going to cheat to save time and weight by not bolting wheels on if they don't penalize for it.

We went through that argument thoroughly after Ricciardos incident in the second race.

Great pass by Ricciardo on the last lap!!

 

[PeterJB]

This is Rosberg's year.

 

[niky]

Nice little bro-bump from Lewis for Nico at the end of the race. Hope that means the pouty drama is behind them.


-

Of course it ain't. But perhaps Lewis has finally figured Nico wasn't trying to do him the dirty back in qualifying all those weeks ago... maybe.

Good race for the Mercedes boys. Fantastic work from Lewis on that opening lap.

 

[tribolik]

This is Rosberg's year.

He can thank Mercedes pit crew.... if he wins this year he will win it in the pits...

 

[GTracer98]

Lewis seemed to ignore Nico in that pre-podium room.

Hamilton had faster stops in Canada.

Then he totally blanks him in the green room!

 

[Dhalism]

Hamilton had faster stops in Canada.

It was even. Nico was faster on first one, Lewis was faster on the second one.

 

[dhandeh]

Nico has the worlds biggest pizza cutter to put on his mantelpiece.

 

[ZEROX]

Disappointed that Massa didn't win the race(thoughtso) but at least Bottas have the last podium step.

 

[daan]

Why have they been given pizza cutters as trophies?

 

[GTracer98]

Congratulations to Bottas for first podium!

I don't agreed. Sometimes Rosberg has fastest pit stops, somtimes hasn't.

 

[dhandeh]

Well, the interview could have been awkward!

 

[Akmuq]

He lost 7 tenths.

Edit : Hamilton was 3 tenths faster on the first one as well, read the chart wrong.

 

[niky]

Lewis seemed to ignore Nico in that pre-podium room.

Nothing to say, I guess.

At least he acknowledges Nico's existence in the interview.

-

Also... Mark Webber BACK ON THE PODIUM! And Vettel nowhere in sight. The irony...

-

7/10ths, and he'd still be behind Nico at the end of that last pit. With brake issues and only half a chance of actually passing a car on the same fuel strategy. He had to hang far back at points there to keep the brakes from overheating.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I love how Mark posed that question to Lewis. Basically saying "I know how teams can screw you over since I just got done with it about six months ago, so why do you think they're doing it to you?"

 

[tribolik]

I don't agreed. Sometimes Rosberg has fastest pit stops, somtimes hasn't.

We will agree to disagree... Ive watched all races this year and what Ive seen is nico being 1 second faster in the pits in all crucial races and moments...

 

[Dhalism]

that's not a pizza cutter... that's a pizza cutter alien hybrid!
yucky!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I thought the trophy was a brake rotor to apologize for how they didn't have much if any at the end of the race.

You cracked it, it really is!

I've seen Lewis DNF 2 times. 50 potencial points. If you think this has more impact than some pitstops, it's ok.

I can't remember ALL pitstops, but I remember a few that weren't like that.

Giving a W Chanpionship to a driver like roseberg based on pitstops and igroring all the great races he did and has been doing, isn't fair in my opinion. Maybe this year they're making it fair, unlike last year.

I'd class Bahrain as a crucial race, and they were bang on even.

 

[tribolik]

I'd class Bahrain as a crucial race, and they were bang on even.

And Hamilton won...

 

[Dhalism]

it's okay Lewis will win the double points and cease the title!
In the meantime lets all just enjoy authentic Austrian things

 

[Akmuq]

And Hamilton won...

That is correct, he also would have won if his stops were a second slower than Rosberg's.
