Formula 1 Gran Premio de España Santander 2012

[Alex p.]

Did Webber get the damage from the Senna-Schumacher incident and all that scattered debris?

I think so.

 

[Christian_C]

For anyone else watching sky, is your ticker broken? Mine was still showing LH in 4th way after his pitstop.

EDIT: Nevermind it's fixed now.

 

[Grayfox]

WTF Webber?!

Front wing?

 

[Famine]

I can't wait to hear what Schumacher says in his post-smashing-into-someone-else interview.

 

[ZEROX]

Front wing?

Yeah...aero problem. :\

 

[niky]

McLaren telling Button "Plan B".

Alonso dropping pace to Maldonado.. as expected... now let's see if the Williams can overtake that Ferrari in the pits.

 

[Demon Drone]

That looked to be more of Senna's fault as he was moving all over the place. He made like 3 or 4 defensive moves on that. Can't really fault Schumi too much because he had no where to go.

Ginsters catching Alonso slowly but surely? The gap has come down from 3s.

 

[Vend1go]

I hate senna , never liked it before and now i hate it even more. Poor schumy...

Backmarkers problem.
He's picking up the pace now.

 

[TyrrellRacing]

Maldonado to take Alonso out anyone ?

Exactly what I was thinking.

He made one move - he drifted to the outside on the straight, but moved a car width to the inside approaching the braking zone - and that wasn't even particularly defensive. Schumacher went inside, then outside and then had to move to the inside just to smash into him - had he stayed the side he'd picked, he'd not have hit him!

This.

After races i think schumy will make his speech about senna's moves...

It was Schumi who was all over the place.
Senna only do one not-so-defensive move.

 

[GTPorsche]

Wait... incident between Vettel and Massa under investigation?

When did that happen?

 

[dhandeh]

Let me know when Lewis passes Massa, I can't watch!

 

[Liquid]

I wish David Croft would calm the Frank down.

 

[Lizard]

This is the best race at this track that I have ever seen.

 

[mister dog]

It's under investigation, wonder who the stewards will punish after the race...

 

[Bigbazz]

To me it looked like Bruno moved to stop Schumacher taking him on the outside, Schumacher then decided to switch to the inside, but bruno broke early causing schumacher to instead crash into the back of him.

Schumacher didn't count on Bruno having to break so early. Its nobodies fault, its a "**** happens" racing incident.

 

[GTPorsche]

Might be a while as it looks like Massa is pulling away slightly.

 

[Tom]

Come on Ginsters!

 

[Famine]

GTFOREVER - read this forum's stickies.


Schumacher's just claimed Senna moved left in the braking zone. Plus "I hope the video is good enough to pick it up". Whut?

 

[Liquid]

Ginsters with the undercut...

...Alonso in traffic...

...to be continued...

Schumacher's just claimed Senna moved left in the braking zone.

Whut?

In German, moving left into the braking zone must mean "I exonerate him of all charges because it was a legitimate move".

Whut indeed.

 

[niky]

Massa still leading Lewis. Team telling Lewis in an indirect way over the radio... get the hell past him.

Dum dum dum dum...

 

[lbsf1]

With Hamilton's pace, and if he can get his tyres to work and last, he may still get a podium here.

Perhaps even John Watson's record of winning form furthest back on the grid (22nd) could be broken.


They broke a technical regulation, which results in exclusion. It is clear cut. The time that he would have done had they not broken the rules is irrelevant.

I do agree that he broke the rules and thus should be punished, however the punishment didn't need to be as harsh as it was. After the incident on the bbc website an article was published saying the FIA could either give him a 5 place penalty or disallow his fastest time, instead they put him to the back of the grid. In my mind this was a case of the FIA punishing Mclaren more than they should have.

 

[ZEROX]

Schumacher's just claimed Senna moved left in the braking zone.

Whut?

Aye, Senna did move slightly.

 

[dhandeh]

Ginsters ftw!
