F1 2016 Season with Fantasy League see Threadmark

What the heck is that, imagine if say Rosberg punts Hamilton off on the next race and they ban him for two races, that would completely ruin the championship and just make Merc look like a bunch of idiots :lol:. Instead of talking to every single person they can find I think Merc should focus on improving their race weekend strategy and get on with it, so melodramatic.
 
the yellow card have totally contradicted what Toto said he said it was brake problems, the stewards said it was Nico's fault so why the yellow cards for either driver. So is Toto blaming both drivers for the shunt ?
If he is giving the yellow card out for the last shunt, then he is totally in the wrong, Lewis did nothing wrong, Nico was 100% to blame

I actually dont think Mercedes know what they are doing at the moment, you have Lauda shouting his mouth off and the retracting what he said and now this.

Ferrari have re-signed Kimi Raikkonen alongside Sebastian Vettel for the 2017 season. Shocked at that to be honest.

Yea my missus just text me saying that, I was really surprised. I expected him to retire, he's seemed disinterested.

He is on level points with Seb, I know Seb has had bad luck with failures but still not terrible. I'm mixed on it he's one of my favourite drivers but as you say does look disinterested at times.

I love the guy, he's been my favourite driver for over 10 years but yea he's just not seemed arsed at times. Maybe Ferrari have convinced him of an upcoming change in performance.
 
Vettel has a new gear box and a 5 place grid drop, I dont agree with it , why should the driver have to take the drop after equipment failure.
Even more so after having to change is with it never used in a race, must be a fault with it.
 
The only thing that could make the the rest of this season interesting would be to put Vettel in Nico's car and have a proper fight with Hamilton.
 
Do Hamilton goes all 4 wheels off the track again but it's not at a certain corner so it's OK.

I really am done with F1.

It was agreed zero-tolerance on specific corners, Luffield was not one of those, Copse, Stowe and Club were. Nothing to see here really. Those were the corners where it was to be advantageous to go off.

this is just crazy , you go off at some corners you lose your lap but other you dont.
It should be all corners or no corners.

The corner at which he did that makes no sense, since he really doesn't get much of an advantage going completely over the white line, but the place with multiple turns needed that rule to be enforced.

Still managed to get pole though.

I'm aware of that - it's exactly that that's the problem.

Enforce track limits or don't. You can't pick and chose corners.

This is nothing to do with Hamilton, it's just fecking stupid.

Some corners will have more of an advantage, others won't, for instance running wide at Copse will make a huge difference, Luffield won't make any (Chandok said in FP3 he thought it would actually lose time). I agree it is pointless overall though, just get gravel traps everywhere and there's no problems with track limits :D.
 
I wonder what will happen if the racers do this tomorrow though. Pit stop penalty seems way too harsh.

Must have a certain number of warnings i.e. 3 times off-limits then you get a penalty, realistically under high-fuel I would be surprised if anyone is pushing that hard.

Hell yes.
 
Nico Rosberg has been summoned to see the stewards following an alleged rules breach in qualifying for the British Grand Prix.
The Mercedes driver was judged to have exceeded the maximum time between the two safety car lines at the start of Q1.

A statement issued by the FIA said that he would have to explain later why he had breached Article 27.5 of the Sporting Regulations for "exceeding the maximum time set by the FIA between the Safety Car line after the pit exit and Safety Car line before the pit entry at 13.05."

Rosberg could be given a grid penalty, a reprimand or fine for the offence if he is found guilty.

F1 race director Charlie Whiting had sent a note to the teams on Friday night stating that the maximum permitted time between the two safety car lines was 1m45.0s.

According to the official timing data from the session, the issue revolves around a slow lap that Rosberg did after his first flying lap in Q1.

Following an effort of 1m30.724 seconds on his first flying lap, Rosberg backed off and did a 2m26.444s lap prior to trying again for another lap.

While other drivers also went slower on second laps, none were as extremely slow as Rosberg's.

The intention of having a maximum permitted time between the two safety car lines is to limit the risk of accidents being caused by drivers running too slowly on track while others are on fast laps.
