F1 2018 Season

[Giggsy92]

Hamilton's going to be under huge pressure from the Force Indias at the restart. Not going to be easy to re-pass them if they get in front.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

It was the same with Nando and Grosjean in 2012.

 

[RedFish]

Yep, should have been out straight away. Really weird.

Yep

 

[Adam-Utd]

Ferrari is a rocket ship on the straights

Obviously it's quick but that was more the draft effect coming into play. The Force India's pulled just as much as Seb did.

 

[Hephaestus]

Seb was lucky and clever. Lewis would have done the same.

Again, no-one is criticising Vettel. It's the delay of the safety car.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Not criticising Vettel at all. My issue is with the people who knew the safety car was needed but delayed it until just after the straight.

I thought they called it pretty fast, crash happened and they looked at the debris on the track then called the SC.

 

[Hephaestus]

I thought they called it pretty fast, crash happened and they looked at the debris on the track then called the SC.

It wasn't that quick at all.

 

[Dargonk]

What happened to Riccardo in all that?

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Bottas having a dreadful weekend.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Again, no-one is criticising Vettel. It's the delay of the safety car.

Ok, read it now.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

What happened to Riccardo in all that?

Damaged his whole front car.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

SF in this lap.

 

[Hephaestus]

What happened to Riccardo in all that?

Think he got hit by Alonso flying through, then went into Kimi as a result.

 

[vangagal]

What happened to Riccardo in all that?

HIs rear wing got touched by Alonso on his airbone before.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Cant believe I am defending Seb , OK maybe they knew the SC was going to be called and they said to Seb quick overtake before it happens, cant blame them for that, if that is what happened.

 

[Dargonk]

Thanks guys

 

[RedFish]

I thought they called it pretty fast, crash happened and they looked at the debris on the track then called the SC.

They should have called it whilst Alonso was re-entering the earth's atmosphere

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Hamilton is very aggressive.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Vettel and Ferrari have a great PU though so Seb keeps the lead.

 

[RedFish]

Feck, what a camera angle that is on the floor watching them shoot up Eau Rouge

 

[Hephaestus]

Cant believe I am defending Seb , OK maybe they knew the SC was going to be called and they said to Seb quick overtake before it happens, cant blame them for that, if that is what happened.

Again, no-one is criticising Vettel at all! Until the safety car is called, all drivers can race as normal, the issue is that the safety car should have been called quicker after the incident.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Seb and Lewis will start to pull away now, this race could be decided by pit stops, either one gets a bad one and its race over, Perez is falling behind Lewis.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Again, no-one is criticising Vettel at all! Until the safety car is called, all drivers can race as normal, the issue is that the safety car should have been called quicker after the incident.

Not saying anybody is, dont think anybody is a fault , he took his chance , yes OK they could have called it a second or too earlier, but Seb would have caught and over took Lewis anyway.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Ocon is under investigation.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

nice overtake Max

 

[RedFish]

Woooooo Max!

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Great overtake from Verstappen.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Ocon is under investigation.

what for ?

 

[ZIDANE]

I understood what you meant. The only thing is if they did that people would complain they were denying the chance for people to race when they had all passed the area. I'm not saying either is right as there is an element of safety and whether it was a virtual safety car which may have explained the time to decide.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Kimi not looking good. Lose too much time during his pit stop.

 

[RedFish]

Kimi is fecked.

 

[Leg-End]

Obviously it's quick but that was more the draft effect coming into play. The Force India's pulled just as much as Seb did.

Of course but raw speed it’s the best out there now. They should smash Monza too.

 

[vangagal]

That Redbull's rear wing are so tiny its make looks like Redbull using DRS all the time without actually activating it.

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

what for ?

Cutting curve 4th. Just heard on the italian television.

 

[vangagal]

Is Hulkenberg gonna get penalty after that?

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Bye bye Kimi.

 

[gormless]

Kimi on that Barichello 2002 luck

 

[Santi_Mesut_Alexis_87]

Verstappen 3rd.

 

[vangagal]

Blimey, that Rebdull rear wing really a masterstroke by Newey this time.

 

[Hephaestus]

Interpreted your comment about defending Vettel as implying people were criticising him, otherwise there is nothing to defend. Don't know if he would, would have depended on how he stuck with Hamilton at the restart, as Hamilton showed that isn't always easy.

I understood what you meant. The only thing is if they did that people would complain they were denying the chance for people to race when they had all passed the area. I'm not saying either is right as there is an element of safety and whether it was a virtual safety car which may have explained the time to decide.

If it was that they wanted people to race, should only have been thrown when they reached the bus-stop chicane. And it was an easy decision, no way that could have possibly been a safety car when you have cars flying about at the first corner.

Is Hulkenberg gonna get penalty after that?

Probably. If he had brake issues then he might not though.
