[Telstar]

Are there any recordings or videos of the Legends Parade? Would love to see M1 Procar race.

Felipe Massa is also starting from pit lane after changing his nose.

Elevates Wehrlein to a dizzying 11th place. Hopefully he can get lucky and grab some points.

That method for grid penalties is typical FIA, not well thought out. If a driver is ending up with a 4-place drop from a 5-place penalty surely alarm bells must be ringing something isn't quite right.

 

[NW48]

Button! Into 2nd!

 

[Tired Tyres]

Hamilton can launch shocker.

 

[NW48]

DRS Enabled, watch Button drop like a rock now...

Nooo!! Button down to third... now to fourth....

It's quiet here Looks like there's light rain on some parts of the track.

Mercedes messed up Lewis pitstop on purpose


/sarcasm

 

[PsuPepperoni]

I think Nico was more than a second ahead there

And it's a pretty decent race so far.

 

[Grayfox]

Vettel has lost it.

Tire exploded.

 

[NW48]

Safety Car out. Vettel's tyre exploded.

 

[Vinylshark]

That could've ended worse

 

[Danny]

That could have been very nasty.

 

[Samus]

Magnussen really needs to sort his race-craft, not the first time he has weaved all over the place.

Vettel not going to be happy with that.

 

[Ridox2JZGTE]

Vettel rear right tire blown on the main straight, too long holding out with worn super soft

 

[PsuPepperoni]

well that answers that question

 

[PsuPepperoni]

looks like his FR was about to go as well

He must have cut it on something. The low temperatures have increased the durability of the tyres, and the right-rear takes very little load. I can't imagine that this is just wear and tear.

This isn't the first time a Pirelli tire has just let go.

It looks quiet there, too.

I'm watching several replays on the Vettel incident, both outside and onboard cam, the roads seems clear. The rear just gave up all of sudden. He drove 25/26 laps on the tire ?

 

[Bo]

Hulk's having a torrid time.

26 or so race laps, plus 4 quali or so.

If the tire reached end of life one would expect vettel to have no traction under acceleration but he seemed to have no issues and then boom.

 

[Vinylshark]

Hulk's having a torrid time.

I think he should try to join Porsche and the WEC. Just like Webber did it.
I don't really see a successful future for him in F1.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

This isn't the first time a Pirelli tire has just let go.

Last time - Vettel at Spa - was a result of the tyre getting cut because he kept running beyond the track limits.

Seems he hasn't learnt his lesson.

 

[Samus]

It's really hard to work out which driver Ted Kravitz prefers. He's always so partisan in his thoughts you just can't tell.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Oh, shut up, Ted. Rosberg doesn't owe Hamilton anything just because he made his strategy work when Hamilton didn't.
