The Man is really unlucky.

 

[Blitz24]

Only Raikkonen would step out that calmly with a fire above his head...

This week he is Kimi the Iceman Waterman.

Well he's the iceman, it's all cool to him.

*ba dum tss*

 

[sems4arsenal]

Haas with a very good chance of getting in the points.

 

[GTracer38]

For god sake!!!

 

[TRGTspecialist]

RIP my fantasy team...

Was also betting on Kimi to improve this season.............so of course when he does look better the bloody car blows up!

Hamilton can't get past the Toro Rossos, that is actually quite funny!

 

[Grayfox]

So this year they can use 3 tire compounds?

Well it is pretty much a Redbull with a ferrari engine.

Imagine if it had a benz engine.

 

[ukfan758]

So this year they can use 3 tire compounds?

The one compound they used in Q2? And then the two designated soft and prime compounds.

 

[Blitz24]

Curious, what is the penalty for violating the new radio rules? SnG penalty?

 

[TRGTspecialist]

Seen a few posts that were along the lines of this on here, from the same person I'm pretty sure

@Bo fair enough, wasn't aware of that.

 

[ukfan758]

Grosjean and Hulkenberg are within a second I think.

[ToyGTone]

Sorry to go "offtopic" but is there any stream i could watch right now? I'm away from my home and only have my phone with me.

Haas doing better than Mclaren is amusing

 

[Blitz24]

And then after the race you have to pull it off.

He's running faster laps, just can't get close enough due to the washout it would seem.

 

[GTPorsche]

Oddly coming at the expense of a Haas taking out a McLaren.

Kvyiat already asked to switch teams

Alonso was the better of the pair until the crash happened.

 

[Northstar]

Was that an actual sponsor I spied on the side of the McLaren?

 

[NW48]

Sainz needs to stop. So Hamilton gets out of jail for free there.

 

[IforceV8]

RIC-VES-SAI all on softs will need to stop again, VET on reds will come out 3rd behind HAM.

I think

 

[FoRiZon]

I imagine there is some kind of NSA like organization who listens to someones radio communica...

Oh wait, that is FIA marshals at work.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Well that ruined Max's race.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Fast lap in by Hamilton this time around. So Mercedes seem to be mounting their moves to the end as others pit.

 

[ukfan758]

Well, one crew member just lost his job.

 

[Bo]

Can't say I've ever seen anyone here saying they want rid of existing safety measures, is that on other sites you've seen that?

It's everywhere. If you haven't seen said thoughts, you probably haven't seen many motorsport safety discussions on the internet.

Good vindication of the safety that has been strived for.

It is indeed, but you seem to be missing my point entirely. Big accidents happen, and the next big accident could well be something we're not currently prepared for. There's no line where safety should stop being an issue - the amount of people who seemingly watch motorsport and enjoy the prospect of potential fatalities is absurd. It's a sick sentiment, and a worrying amount of people think that it's the way forward. Between that and the anti-everything-not-a-V12 brigade, I really do fear for the future of motorsport.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Rosberg catching Vettel....

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Lewis goes 1:30 and Max is pissed off at his team.
