That is not how it works

Can you please explain?

Been following quite close since the late 90s, once again not sure what you're on about.

F1 looks and drives like a pinnacle motorsports series again. Now we just need the old sound.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Can you please explain?

They don't have a clutch for normal driving modes, if the car's in gear then the anti-stall will pull the clutch in, if the gearbox has a fault then he's pretty much stuck in that cycle.

You can't have it both ways, why piss energy into the sky? These are state of the art racers, not moto-crossers.

Can you please explain?

Sarcasm... this is the part of forum talking I dislike, trying to distinguish what is being said in what manner.

And my sacastic moment is ruined by @TenEightyOne :-(

Now I need bourbon

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I learnt something there, I had no idea that they could do that!

Nobody knew that it could be done until Palmer binned it at Spa last year. He started rocking back and forth and then took off from what looked like a terminal stall. The other manufacturers figured it out from there.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Kvyat will be out if they can't change the extinguisher.

 

[Spacegoat]

It's official Australian drivers are cursed at their home GP.

 

[twitcher]

Happy season everyone, let's hope it's a good one

 

[prisonermonkeys]

It could be as simple as restarting the electronics, in which case Ricciardo could start from pit lane.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Seems like the cars affiliated with the Red Bulls are becoming the Dead Bulls.

 

[Liquid]

Talented singer.

 

[twitcher]

It's official Australian drivers are cursed at their home GP.

And Kvyat...he's defintely cursed at Australia

 

[DesertPenguin09]

@CoachMK21 Who are you rooting for most?

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

F1 looks and drives like a pinnacle motorsports series again. Now we just need the old sound.

When did it stop driving like the pinnacle? Cause try as I might I've yet to find any other car come close to f1 lap times.

 

[Spacegoat]

And Kvyat...he's defintely cursed at Australia

I was just thinking that.

What's that? Three years in a row now, he's had issues before the start of the race?

 

[Jimlaad43]

So that's going to be 1 Red Bull only in Australia for the 3rd year running...

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Ricciardo's car was stuck in sixth, Horner says there's a chance he can start from the pit lane.

 

[GTFan24]

Wait, looks like Daniel isn't done

 

[twitcher]

Danny just climbed back in the car, which was back in the garage.

Ted just said Kvyat was fixed too, just a small fire.

 

[miata13B]

Looks like a pit lane start :-) may we pray to the gearbox gods.

 

[Leadfoot530]

Daniel getting back in the car; might not be over!

EDIT: Battlefield 1 quote seems fitting:

Fredrick Bishop: "You're an Aussie. We're unkillable!"

 

[Northstar]

After Sebring normal plane flyovers just don't do it for me anymore.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Kyvat had some flame coming from the exhaust.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

So F1 cars get going like a motorcycle, got it.

After Sebring normal plane flyovers just don't do it for me anymore.

Most expensive flyover Sebring 2017

 

[aarror]

Poor Kvyat, the guy can't catch a break

 

[Nielsen]

When did it stop driving like the pinnacle? Cause try as I might I've yet to find any other car come close to f1 lap times.

When F1 cars started posting slower lap times than they did in the past. I don't remember the exact year.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Starting from pitlane might not be terrible for Ricciardo. In case there's mid pack drama at the first corners, he should be able to avoid easily.

 

[CoachMK21]

@CoachMK21 Who are you rooting for most?

I've always been a Sebastian fan. He whines, but it's entertaining and he's one heck of a racer.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

That's happened plenty of times with reg changes, they're still the fastest cars on a track so...guess proper F1 has been around for some time.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Melbourne looks stunning today..
