2017 Formula 1 Gran Premio de Espana PirelliFormula 1

[NW48]

Will the mediums really last 30 laps?

Wehrlein hasn't pit yet, and we're 32 laps into the race. I think he's on the Mediums.

 

[BrainsBush]

1 or 2 stopper that's the question

 

[NW48]

Vandoorne... really.

 

[Dennisch]

Great action by Stoffel.

Bad night last night?

 

[mustafur]

Please safety car please....

 

[niky]

Net has been wonky.

Reactions: what the hell was Sainz thinking with that pit exit? And... Stoffel... are you blind?

Waiting to see if Hamilton's gambit pays off.

He is on softs if the timing screen is correct.

 

[Dennisch]

Hamilton gained more than a second behind the VSC. And he's in the pits.

 

[JayOTT]

Almost looked like Vandoorne did that on purpose just to get out of finishing a race that he had no real shot of scoring points in...

 

[Bram Turismo]

I'm afraid to say Stoffel had a Crashtor Maldonado moment

Disappointed that his Honda didn't go pop yet.

 

[gtrotary]

I was so hopeful that Fernando was going to pull an upset, but now I'm just upset.

 

[JayOTT]

Have Mercedes bottled this? VSC ended by the time Hamilton actually entered the pits!

 

[Vinylshark]

Was there contact between Seb and Lewis?

 

[mustafur]

Holy **** lol

 

[sems4arsenal]

Weird strategy from Mercedes

 

[NW48]

This is gonna be a great battle.

 

[PsuPepperoni]

 

[Dennisch]

Ehm.

We have a fight for first place.

Bottas out! Ricciardo 3rd!!!

 

[Demon Drone]

After the snoozefest that was Russia this has been an amazing race.

 

[NW48]

Bottas out! Looks like his engine has died.

 

[Clark]

Ferrari really can't do strategy on the fly can they? Why did they pit him as soon as VSC ended?

 

[mustafur]

I think Hamilton might have a case for a penalty for Vettel, if they are on the harsh side.

 

[Dennisch]

Bottas out! Looks like his engine has died.

His engine squeaked like a mouse. Turbo gone poof?

Also.

If Hamilton can't pass Vettel soon he'll burn up his tyres before it's done.

 

[IforceV8]

Ferrari really can't do strategy on the fly can they? Why did they pit him as soon as VSC ended?

Because he would be P2 right now instead of P1 if he was left out another lap.

 

[niky]

Hamilton has only several more laps to do this.

 

[mustafur]

If they tightened T1 this would be a good track.

 

[JayOTT]

I think Hamilton might have a case for a penalty for Vettel, if they are on the harsh side.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if a penalty is inbound, that looked a bit too forceful...

 

[Touring Mars]

I think Hamilton might have a case for a penalty for Vettel, if they are on the harsh side.

There's also a case for a penalty against Hamilton - with some luck they will just let them race.

It was definitely one of the weirder noises I've heard from an engine.
