They should put a Honda lawnmower engine in it, atleast it would do the distance.

Ferrari still not that close in race pace yet then, Merc's pulling away easily.
Mine sounds better than that
it was dreadful wasn't it, sounded like it was missing a few cylinders.That slow motion shot of the smoking tyre was brilliant
I think my prediction of a good race was a bit foolhardy.
Bit annoying that the one race where we end up with Hamilton right behind Rosberg is the one race where Hamilton's pace is rubbish.
Heh, the most discussion worthy stuff so far has been whether the McLaren sounded like a lawnmower and the production quality of the slow motion camerawork.
Bar a decent first lap, this race has been rather dire so far.
Yep
I honestly thought Vettel would be closer on pace around here, now thats not the case its a Merc 1-2 and that won't change because Hamilton's having a poor weekend and its impossible to overtake again.
This race needs some rain.
Don't know if its the camera or what but in Sector 2 these cars look slow, look like they are on an outlap the two Merc's.
That was a huuuuuge lockup
FFS get Lewis in and make a race of it, he wont do it on old rubber.
Interesting that Hamilton has better tyres at the end of that stint though, might make a race of it towards the end because I think he was in better shape on the soft tyre in FP. Still its a longshot though, Rosberg should have this one covered.
Is it just me or is the whole 'hammertime' thing really cringey?
Vettel's pit stop going badly wrong
Hamilton crossed the line?
I really thought Vettel was going to be challenging more than he has done.
Oh dear Hamilton.
Lewis will get a penalty for that.
5 second penalty? That's a drive through surely?
That's a drive through surely?5 seconds penalty
5 sec pen , he cant win the race now.
Will make the rest of the race just plain boring now.
Will make the rest of the race just plain boring now.
Yeah this race is done now, time to go do something else.
Is the 5 seconds applied by having them not touch the car for that long when he pits?
Shit weekend all round from Lewis. Hopefully there's no safety car on the last lap...
No more stops so they'll just add it on to his time at the end.
They won't pit again, they will just add it on at the end.
If he was going to stop yes, but no more pits, so will be added to his time at the end.
Hamilton with a 5 sec penalty. So that is the race over now.
That would be hilarious
"that looked really bad Kimi, so first things first are you ok?"
"yea"
:|
Take away the first lap and this is one of the most boring races I have seen in a long time.
This has been a shite F1 season so far. Very, very dull races, even on tracks where we're normally guaranteed some interesting races.
It's what happens when they change the rules every few years. It allows no time for regression to the mean, and there tends to be a dominant team who are better adapted to the current set of rules with no time for teams to catch up
Turned off about half an hour ago, take it I haven't missed anything?
That and this season in particular it feels like more of the bigger teams have crap engines which means they are not even competing for the minor places or making the mid pack interesting.
