Oh those bellends didn't even put super soft's back on...

I'm sure the multi-million dollar organization with state of the art telemetry have a better idea for which tire is best.

Palmer Definitely Dotd today, amazing performance.

On th

Is there some sort of lit white LED beneath the Torro Rosso's nose shining on the road? Never seen that before.

E Austrian TV they said that it is a sensor measuring the groundclearance.

Sarcasm?

 

[JayOTT]

The fact that there had been zero improvement since Honda has come aboard

This never would have happened had Mugen handled Honda's return to Formula 1 instead

Thanks for the reply! I was really wondering what is was! 👍

Thought it might be something to do with ground clearance but no other cars seem to have the same light.

 

[Dennisch]

Man. I can't wait for the Italian GP. There's finally a good chance that a Ferrari can win it again.

 

[niky]

"You've got the pace to win this, Lewis."


Sure he does.

But is it even possible to overtake on track?

 

[TRGTspecialist]

Even if Mercedes do keep Hamilton out he's got no pace and Vettel would get past eventually

Given the nature of these cars and the pace of the front-runners, I'm not sure I'll believe this is readily possible until I actually see it (or indeed anyone passing for the lead on track).

 

[Dennisch]

Pfoaw. Bottas was very generous in keeping that door open for Hamilton.

 

[Stotty]

Shame for Bottas, but I don't think Lewis will pass Seb in any case.

 

[Barra333]

I hope Merc give Bottas 2nd place back if Hamilton doesn't pass Vettel. He has moved aside twice now.

We saw a Red Bull pass a Williams in a DRS zone earlier in the race (Ricciardo on Massa). I see no reason why a Ferrari can't pass a Mercedes and vice versa if they're close enough.

Lewis would have taken Bottas eventually. Bottas is having a devil of a time with those rear tires.

No need to delay the inevitable.

Hamilton is mad quick. He will be close to Vettel by the end of the race. The question is whether he can do anything at all once he's there.

 

[Nielsen]

Fingers crossed Ferrari can take the win. It would be good for the season's immediate future.

 

[Robin]

Safety car for the Sauber? Wishful thinking!

 

[TRGTspecialist]

DO IT CHARLIE. DO IT.

 

[Dennisch]

Yellows gone, 4 laps and 8 second gap. Vettel got this, if his prancing pony stays in one piece.

 

[niky]

DOTD? Vettel? Hamilton?

Three laps left. Not enough time to do anything with that speed differential.

Yay, Vettel...?

 

[Leadfoot530]

No way Hamilton gets to Vettel. Sure, he's cutting time down like a hot knife through butter, but he isn't taking near enough. Commentators said he needed 1.5 seconds per lap; hasn't been anywhere near that.

 

[Demon Drone]

No way Hamilton catches him.

I wouldn't give it to Lewis, because he screwed up his own race.

Yes it has, the times are on the screen, it's been 1.2-1.5.

 

[Dennisch]

Derp. Alonso out. So close.

 

[niky]

Oh Lordy, Alonso.

SO CLOSE.

 

[JayOTT]

Give DOTD to Alonso for driving that :censored:box for 54 laps...

 

[Demon Drone]

5 second penalty is going to be the difference.

 

[Robin]

Alonso Actual torture seeing him drive that thing.

 

[Demon Drone]

McLaren is a joke.

 

[NotThePrez]

Freakin' Honda!
