That can't have helped Ricciardo's concentration.

Hammy out of Q3.

This season's heading in a southerly direction.

Same power unit as per Shanghai.

Lewis out with power-unit problems he will not take part in Q3

Urban75 Brains Trust says:

"Out of Q3. Let it be promulgated throughout the realm!"

promulgated, I bet you haven't used that word in an F1 thread before

Fuck knows where that came from.

Nico's looking smug.

Bottas on the front row, nice one Williams

And Massa starts in 4th too.

So two big questions, will Lewis also get a penalty (not for Q2 error but for changing parts) and will he get involved in problems back in 11th at turn two after the start?

With Hammy's luck he'll get a kicking...

Not really, possibly a ticking off. There's not a lot they can do to make his weekend much worse.

How come it's Ted doing the press conference?

Sorry I edited my post maybe as you were replying, I meant for changing parts rather than his actions in going off in turn two

Yes, that has to be a strong possibility.

It's not looking like Hammy's comeback weekend, this one.

It a good job I'm not working for Mercedes as I just nick the MGUH off Nico's car and stick it on Lewis's

In Lewis's post quali interview it seemed like he was confirming he will change his power-unit so he could be starting much further back

 

[Limejuice]

He might want to consider starting from the pit lane if he's allowed to.

The chance of lap 1 damage is pretty high further down the grid.

 

[Limejuice]

Nico must be heading for an early night feeling like a dog with two cocks.

 

[pengaleng]

psyched for Russia

 

[Limejuice]

Sky are reporting that Mercedes flew in a new design of fuel system for Hammy's car from the UK by private jet this morning.

I guess the thinking is he's so far back, they might as well throw on every upgrade they can to give him the best chance of good points.

 

[weltweit]

I hope the race will be more interesting than qualifying.
I tuned into the C4 coverage then woke up to find it all over!

Looks like Lewis got a reprimanded for his turn 2 incident yesterday, so that's 2 reprimands, one more is a ten place grid penalty. Mercedes also seem to have sorted the car problem without him getting any penalty for that.

He must be thinking "things are looking up" (irony smiley)

is that Kyvat and vettel again?

 

[Limejuice]

Vettel out.

Oops.

 

[Limejuice]

is that Kyvat and vettel again?

Yes.

Payback's a bitch, Sebby, huh?

 

[1%er]

Lewis has moved right up

 

[1%er]

LOL he hit him twice it seems
