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

[jonamok]

Podium for hammy my arse. He'll be 5th/6th.

[JohnC]

Banned.

Bit harsh for him asking that.

Look at all that shit on track, like a flea invasion. Street cleaners are going to have to work overtime after the race

Street cleaners are going to have to work overtime after the race

I suspect souvenir hunters will do a lot of that work.

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.

Hamiltons race was also ruined, my argument is merely that the punishment isn't required, Massa had to re-pit but only for tyres, Hamilton also had to re-pit for a front wing which takes roughly the same amount of time as a drive-through penalty to repair.

Rosberg also took track position by forcing Perez off the road, the Mexican had no where else to go, if he didn't go wide Rosberg would have hit him, ergo Perez's race at the time was damaged (admittedly only ever so slightly).

Hamilton has done well to get back up the running order, Di Resta will surely get some more points

[wev]

Yes? In what way is that not ruined?

Massa was running higher than Hamilton after he had to pit for his replacement tyre for the puncture, it was the pit-stop after that which pushed him back, the way the Ferrari's are running has ruined Massa's race.

[SMD]

They can't refuel during the race

Banned.

There is no refuelling in races.

Cheers, this season's the first in ages I've watched on a semi regular basis. Didn't know if it was just a technology thing or was forbidden.

Bit harsh for him asking that.

[Dudley]

Massa had to re-pit but only for tyres

He also had a very slow lap while he tried to get the punctured tyre back to the pits.

Ultimately, Hamilton has cost Massa points, you simply can't say the same about Rosberg on Perez even if you consider the incidents otherwise identical, which I do not.

[Sidewaysbob]

Webber in calm head overtaking shocker ...

[mexos]

But

Oh well, was too much to hope for.

[Dudley]

Massa was running higher than Hamilton after he had to pit for his replacement tyre for the puncture, it was the pit-stop after that which pushed him back, the way the Ferrari's are running has ruined Massa's race.

He's 10 seconds off scoring points, Hamilton certainly cost him more than that.

[marsh]

Yes? In what way is that not ruined?

For him, that's a good day in the office.

[Sidewaysbob]

Lotus will get a slap for that one.

[Dandy_Sephy]

Damm you lotus, Y U NO screw over Vettel?

[JohnC]

The Lotus should have went a bit further right.

[SMD]

Is it wrong I want Vettel to retire from the race just to make the battle for first a bit more interesting?

[Dudley]

Is it wrong I want Vettel to retire from the race just to make the battle for first a bit more interesting?

Yes, you should have a lot more reasons to want Vettel to retire.

[exwhyzed]

Another brilliant move of someone using DRS and driving straight past someone. EXCITEMENT.

[Dandy_Sephy]

Welcome to the club

No one wi a sane mind can say he's not a superb driver, it's just too pedestrian

[mexos]

Another brilliant move of someone using DRS and driving straight past someone on fucked tyres. EXCITEMENT.

[dayte]

Trulli going slower than usual... he's stopped basically.

[myoozikk]

Trulli's trying to find a wine rack.

[wev]

Trulli looked like he was going faster than normal just then

[Dudley]

Superb result for Di Reta if he can stay there.

[mexos]

Superb result for Trulli if he can stay there.

[marsh]

Trulli FUCK OFF.

[wev]

Argh, sick of double posting! Any idea why it keeps happening to me?
