it's all gone off on one.

Willing to bet, pre replay, that Stroll was responsible and not Sainz

gazzalfc · « **Reply #802 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:26:04 pm »

Wow. Merc fucked up double stacking pit stops

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #803 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:26:09 pm »

Vettel still first but that's terrible luck for Vettel

Sainz came from way back there

Stroll was well wide though, might have looked like he was accounting for Sainz's move. Don't think Stroll saw him

Anyway, race has gone to shit now

paulrazor · « **Reply #806 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:27:50 pm »

Raikkonen lost out there.

Hamilton deffo held up Riccardo. Spotted that live

Hmmm

Tricky coming out the pits like that.

Mercedes have made a right mess of this.

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #809 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:28:16 pm »

Hamilton should get penalised too for blocking Ricciardo

I think it was sainz fault

I knew that battle upfront was too good to last

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #811 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:29:28 pm »

Vettel isn't the big winner because he would of been a few seconds clear of bottas and Hamilton, don't know why they are churning that message out

classycarra · « **Reply #812 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:29:37 pm »

Shite pit for Raikkonen got Massa out in front of him again. Christ how long is this safety car out for, hurry up

gazzalfc · « **Reply #813 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:30:07 pm »

Yeah Hamilton will get punished for that

Hope so. Though it was low speed, still a bit of a 'break check' after the pit line

Driving too slow on purpose there, as horner has just said, illegal to do that in the pit lane

classycarra · « **Reply #816 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:33:30 pm »

Wiley Vettel

As someone said, defo shows that Vettel wasn't 'a big winner' from the safety car

classycarra · « **Reply #817 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:35:39 pm »

Good overtake from Alonso. No engine, but using his lines and a little bullying to take Palmer

classycarra · « **Reply #818 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:37:39 pm »

hahaha this is great from Alonso! Lovely moves

Godawful car on the straight, compensating perfectly and picking the right battles

TheShanklyGates · « **Reply #819 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:37:49 pm »

Alonso is such a fantastic driver. Let's hope his car actually lasts to the end this week...

Upinsmoke · « **Reply #820 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:43:57 pm »

Hamilton can't go to the end now with that 5 second penalty

It's not one that you have to go to the pits for I don't think. Think it can be added at the end of the race (if he manages a one-stop)

Right, didn't know that. Just thought he would now go two stop and add an extra five onto the stop.

It's possible to go to the end but chandok said they saw in the earlier race they were 2-3 seconds slower by the end

I'm not 100% certain, but think it's that kind of penalty.

Alonso is making a real spectacle of this! Any mistake and he'll do you

Has Vettel not used the soft tyre yet?

The graphics can't be working right, there's always a delay on what compound they are on. I noticed it more in qualifying too

gazzalfc · « **Reply #827 on:** April 16, 2017, 05:08:36 pm »

Alonso mightily pissed off

10mph slower than anyone else

"we're considering plan b fernando"
"do whatever you want man"

mclaren honda are beyond a joke.

honda need to do themselves and the sport a favour and create a break agreement, and fuck off out of F1

I notice they often have the wrong compound on fastest lap graphic.

I'm a bit dubious about this from Ferrari/Vettel. Am prepared to be proven wrong

Well, I was wrong!

If there was no safety car, things would be even more comfortable for Vettel - good practive call from Ferrari

Hope Hamilton and Bottas have a proper fight, and Bottas gets a confidence boosting aggressive defence

Hamilton much faster than Vettel, time running out though.

Haha yeah, that didn't work

End the race now. No one in the field within a second of each other.

Yeah, shot himself in the foot did Lewis. Such a silly penalty to commit.
