2015 Formula 1 Russian Grand Prix

True, but if if the G-light was activated I thought there was an established precedent that a driver shouldn't race. I'd read that the light did activate but I guess that can't have been the case in reality.

Good to see him fighting fit after a crash like that though, F1's come a looooong way

Only hit 5G IIRC, not such a big crash for the driver. Probably similar figure they get under braking anyway.

More important to note is that Sainz will be starting 20th on the grid and not from the pit lane since the team repaired the original car. I'm pulling for him today.

I'll back you on that, Anyone that has a crash that bad and gets back in the same car to race, So soon after deserves a good result.

Pirelli will be the Tyre Manufacturer of F1 till 2019.

Martin Brundle just called what appears to be a traditional Russian dress a "tea bag" ...

And weirdly enough, there's no alcohol sponsorship in Russia.

Is there any chance of rain?

Is there any chance of rain?

Not really. The skies are a pretty uniform grey, but it doesn't look heavy enough to produce anything.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

I need three people to pass Bottas and Lewis to pass Nico and I'll get a perfect result for my predictions!!!

 

[Ryk]

A Ferrari win and the Russians will get another Red October.

 

[NW48]

Rosberg nails the start!

Crash at T1! Safety Car out!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Well so much for my predictions already...two turns is all it took.

 

[Vinylshark]

And I expected the F1 drivers to do a better job there than the GP2 drivers.

verstappen and Grosjean to run till the end? Can their tyres last that long?

If super softs...no, if softs yes.

 

[gt3kid89]

This looks like it will be another Mercedes walk-over at least there's action down the pack

 

[gt3kid89]

Nice defensive move for Kimi!

 

[Ryk]

with so little practice everyone knows as much as Eddie Jordan.
Rosberg maybe in trouble - throttle trouble Radio

 

[Touring Mars]

Rosberg has a major problem....

 

[gt3kid89]

Hamilton takes the lead and Rosberg loses throttle

 

[Dennisch]

Rosberg screwed. And out of his car.

So much for an interesting battle.

 

[gt3kid89]

Rosberg with problems. Not again!

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

This race is over.

 

[gt3kid89]

Rosberg's out of the race and out of the title fight

 

[JockeP22]

Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton on his 3rd WDC.

 

[ShiftingGears]

That is a shame. I was hoping for an interesting race at the front.

 

[Vinylshark]

Remember when everyone was screaming that Mercedes would screw Lewis to help Niko?
Those were the days.

 

[Ryk]

Romain out

 

[Jimlaad43]

Big hit Grosjean

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Well Lewis has to win this if Merc want to end this WCC today.
