Formula 1 2016 Grand Prix Of Europe

[SuperDiscoDaz]

I'm hoping for a good race from Force India today. This is their type of track and the two drivers both have the potential to be on the podium.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Le Mans? nah Grand Prix is on sorry....

 

[Liquid]

Just found out/heard/realised that the Sky commentators are Croft and di Resta.

Mute.

 

[Grayfox]

Ready to watch the F1

Personally can't stand Brundle so I'm okay with this.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Is everyone still watching le mans or something as were on lap 2 and no more comments

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Boring race start...

 

[Grayfox]

Never seen the Baku track before.
It seems too narrow

 

[Robin]

People in the live chat for my livestream are arguing if Azerbaijan is actually in Europe. To my understanding, it's kinda on the border of Europe and Asia, correct?

Really it's more in Asia than Europe.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

A few overtakes already looking like this could be a decent race.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Vettel takes Ricciardo for second, Hamilton up to 8th...

 

[H20HYBRID_GT]

Good race so far, Bottas is pretty awesome!

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Kvyat out.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Kyvat out. I thought he might have had a problems as he was going backwards like a cat coughing up furballs.

 

[FoRiZon]

What is this Le Mans you speak of?

An immensely dissapointing one.

I hope Baku gave me some cooldown at this point.

I've got the F1 on the telly, but the drama at the end of Le Mans means I've not really paid Baku much attention so far.

Fair enough. Had a quick look on the Le Mans thread but don't know what's happened.

 

[PeterJB]

Wehrlein 9th.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Kimi gets himself a time penalty for crossing the pit entry line.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

5 second time penalty for Kimi, crossed the pit line at the entry....

 

[Ryk]

That is a nasty penalty for Kimi - in a slipstream... whoops guy in front is pitting

 

[Grayfox]

Hamilton has a brake vibartion.

Spoiler: Le Mans spoiler

Toyota had finished 2nd 4 times until today, but never won. The #5 Toyota ran faultlessly for 23 hours and 57 minutes, and were leading with 3 minutes left when the car had a mechanical failure. Porsche came through to win and Toyota finished 2nd with the #6 car. I'm not particularly a Toyota fan but with their so-near-but-so-far history here I feel to gutted to pay much attention to F1.

Nasrs right rear clips the wall and sparks fly.

Same sort of thing that happened to Mika Hakkinen in Spanish Grand Prix was leading by a fair distance but had a mechanical failure on one of the last 2 laps. Schumacher took the victory but knew how lucky he was and was very sporting towards Mika afterwards.

Congrats to Rosberg for winning at Baku...

Yep. I remember watching that live!

Certainly looks that way but stranger things have happened.

 

[Dennisch]

Looks like another strategy fail for RBR and Verstappen.

Sigh.
