2015 Rolex Australian Grand Prix

[PsuPepperoni]

I feel so bad for Kevin

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Car still at the side of the track though...

 

[05XR8]

Failure. Hmm. I say cars will be lapped and we'll see 6 cars on the lead lap.

 

[Pilitev]

Red bull also out

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Kyatt stops on Parade lap too!

 

[Panoz]

Damn. This is getting hilarious.

 

[OutlawQuadrnt]

Quick! Someone pull an engine from a Honda Civic! There's still time!

 

[Cap'n Jack]

So... how many cars will actually start the race?

 

[Pilitev]

15 by now

 

[DesertPenguin09]

This race is essentially another test session. Nothing more. Whoever wins just happens to get points for it.

 

[Blitz24]

15 to start? Can't recall the last time we've seen so few? 05 US GP?

 

[05XR8]

This is turning into last man standing Arcade style. Watch each lap, a car will disappear.

Even if there isn't a problem. If there's the slightest threat of one they will retire to save the car.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

If only Manor were racing now, they could've got some points on their first race here...

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Has there ever been a race where all but one driver retired?

 

[05XR8]

And Brundle can't even find a driver to comment on anything. It's all in shambles.

 

[NW48]

Lol Brundle, "I think it's time to shut up."

 

[aarror]

Well, Sauber might not have to wait long to get a point this year

 

[Yauma9]

They're removing Magnussen's car just now!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Bernie is sitting at home watching and probably feeling a little embarrassed....

 

[05XR8]

"Horror movie. It's there on my tv."

 

[mustafur]

This is worse then early 2000s reliability, lol.

 

[JayOTT]

Because engine management is more than about achieving the maximum straight-line speed. Kvyat's problem was that he was getting torque that he didn't want when he was trying to hold the revs steady when he was mid-corner.

And it's not a "theory". It has been confirmed by the team.

Again, where are you getting this information from? Because I haven't read or heard anything that said Kvyat was running a detuned car in qualifying...

 

[miata13B]

Diffey should never use American Football in any form doing comparisons....

He was about to say world championship instead of superbowl lol

Doubtful. Wouldn't have the speed to make the most of it.

Bernie is sitting at home watching and probably feeling a little embarrassed....

Doubt again. He doesn't seem to care too much, because money still goes in his hand. Kinda annoying.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Again, where are you getting this information from?

Mark Webber. He clearly said not two minutes ago that Kvyat's car was having a problem with a throttle and torque overlay that the team couldn't correct. Hence, he was getting torque when he didn't want it, and detuning the car was the only way to offset the problem.

Sorry if that doesn't gel with your obvious anti-Kvyat bias.

This is turning into last man standing Arcade style. Watch each lap, a car will disappear.

This is what we were expecting twelve months ago ...

 

[NW48]

You would've thought this would happen last year and not this year...

 

[miata13B]

He was about to say world championship instead of superbowl lol

He practically did and you could tell he does not watch the sport ever to bet on the 'Pats' because they are the 'Favorite' to win...

Although good job but that game could have went either way

 

[Pilitev]

Shows just how complex these engines are
