Formula One - 2015 Season

[gospvg]

Why has Rosberg gone for hard?!

To save a pit stop but his lap times will be slower.

[mexos]

We have a season.

I read that like:

We can? Oh great. All right, we got a movie.

[Dudley]

The one advantage of being slower is that you're better on tyres.

[gospvg]

Vettel should make the end on one more, which I think is what Lewis is going to need at his rate of deg.

Yep that's what I think but 22 seconds behind is quite a bit to catch up.

[mexos]

Why has Rosberg gone for hard?!

To save a pit stop but his lap times will be slower.

He wants to suck just a bit more.

[Dudley]

Jenson

[kiroquai]

Rosberg being so limp-wristed in the post safety car period really screwed him; after he got past everyone into third he actually kept the gap to Lewis at exactly the same up until the pit stops. He's been acting beaten all weekend - utterly shit stuff.

[gospvg]

The one advantage of being slower is that you're better on tyres.

He is 34 seconds behind Vettel & will not be running faster so Vettel has his pit stop in hand. He would have been better doing what Lewis is trying which is to go faster than Vettel at the moment & when Vettel has to use the prime Lewis will be on mediums.

[mexos]

No way the bulls brakes are going to last.

[kiroquai]

Force India bulldozers!

[morcs]

Glad I got up this time

[mexos]

Woah!

[kiroquai]

Hamilton will be on the mediums at the end, but there will be a period where Vettel will have some shiny new hards against Lewis' worn mediums in the middle.

[Dudley]

"What the (SUSPICIOUS PAUSE) was that?"

[mexos]

I wonder what is going through Fred's mind watching this race...

[kiroquai]

Oh man this just made my morning - my sister just sent me a picture of my nephew - who turned one on Friday - sitting in his toy car completely engrossed by the F1 on the telly

[mexos]

"What the (SUSPICIOUS PAUSE) was that?"

Fuck fuck fuck

[gospvg]

Hamilton will be on the mediums at the end, but there will be a period where Vettel will have some shiny new hards against Lewis' worn mediums in the middle.

No I think both will come in fairly close together for the next stop

[Dudley]

No I think both will come in fairly close together for the next stop

Me too, I think Vettel will want to cover him and make absolutely certain Ham has to pass him on track.

[BBBBBB]

Alonso was really showing his class until his car crapped out. Shame.

[mexos]

Oooh sky looks daaaaark.

[kiroquai]

See, I was thinking Vettel will come in about 4 - 5 laps sooner. Perhaps not

[kiroquai]

Two other great things happening in this race: Max Verstappen, and also McLaren being in with a sniff of a point.

[Dudley]

I was impressed with Max in that battle with Bottas actually.

Most rookies of any age or any Force India driver could have turned that Maldonado.

He's already got a sense of knowing when you've lost a battle, at least for now.

And Rosberg loses another chance to be of some use today.

Hards?

Welp, game over again.

[gospvg]

Why did Hamilton go for hard tyre?!

[morcs]

Rain please

[mexos]

Why did Hamilton go for hard tyre?!

The fuck?!

[kiroquai]

Yeah, they were snookered into it really. If he wanted to use the mediums at the end he needed to go at least 3 or 4 laps further.

[John0]

Great race this!

[gospvg]

Exactly !!? Stupid Mercedes have just given Ferrari the win.
