DRS is so shite. No point at all.

[myoozikk]

Different tyres as well. Faster car as well.

[mexos]

And... if we have another SC, Vettel will pit and But will have track position. Vet will have newer tyres tho.

[dayte]

Kobes doesn't like to yield!

[JohnC]

Rosberg finally under investigation.

[Sidewaysbob]

There we go then .

[dayte]

Was that Double O just now??? Up on the balcony leading up the pit straight?

[marsh]

Oh, good afternoon Mr Stewards, nice of you to turn up. Why the fuck has that taken so long?

They have 200 screens in Race Control. 198 of them are trained on 1 car.

I don't think there's a hope in hell of Vettel pitting if Button doesn't.

If he gets graining he might not have a choice.

Nah he's at the airport picking up free shit, then posting about it.

[Bruciebabie]

Two thirds distance.

A safety car would put Vettel second or third.

Even without a safety car JB might win when Vettel pit stops.

Meanwhile Hamilton for a podium?

[dayte]

BBC have discovered PiP!!

Makes it feel like were back in the 90's! Especially with the kitsch gold border. MMM, daytime television.

[wev]

BBC have discovered PiP!!

They use it on the on-board cam on red button

[exwhyzed]

He's nailed on for at least 4th if he doesn't ruin his tyres.

[wev]

lol, Rosberg-Perez-Schumacher incident "No further action"

[marsh]

Ah, normal service is resumed.

[Dudley]

Notice that they're investigating Schumacher/Perez seperately from Rosberg/Perez.

It's almost like I was right or something.

Have I logged onto Hamiltonfans.org this race or have most of you bastards always been this hilariously biased?

[wev]

I agree that its a racing incident, but I also think the Hamilton-Massa one was also a racing incident. i.e. neither should receive punishment, but if you're going to punish one you have to apply the same rules to the other.

[Sidewaysbob]

Di Resta isn't going to stop again so i think Lewis might have to work for 4th yet.

[Dudley]

No you don't, because they were not identical incidents and did not have identical consequences.

Even if they were identical incidents, Perez suffered no damage but Massa's race was ruined and that IS relevant.

[SMD]

Stupid question but what's the deal with refuelling in races these days?

[marsh]

Massa's race was ruined? he's in 13th place you mental.

[Sidewaysbob]

They can't refuel during the race

[Dudley]

Stupid question but what's the deal with refuelling in races these days?

Banned.

[JohnC]

There is no refuelling in races.

[Dudley]

Massa's race was ruined? he's in 13th place you mental.

Yes? In what way is that not ruined?
