F1 2016

I still miss Murray saying "and its go go go" and things like "You might not think that's cricket, and it's not, it's motor racing" as they cut each other up into the first corner

Looks like we have a race

Yes, it's not going to be a parade of Mercedes.

 

[1%er]

The Mercs are on a different tyre to those in front so they need to get a shift on

 

[Limejuice]

Looks like the Mercs are fine, just a shitty start. Vettel just seemed to light a solid fuel booster!

 

[1%er]

Maybe the Ferrari's are on the same tyre, it looks like but I thought they were on the super soft

 

[Limejuice]

All the top starters were on supersofts - I'm pretty sure anyway.

Rosberg on Kimi should be fun...

 

[1%er]

we need Hammer time

 

[1%er]

Live timing says Vettel was 3.5 seconds faster than Lewis on that last lap

Big crash SC so great for Lewis

 

[Limejuice]

Hammy's going to the end from lap 17?

Wow - wtf happened to Alonso?

 

[1%er]

Alonso is very luck to walk away from that unhurt

Race stopped

 

[1%er]

WOW! just before the braking zone so a very fast hit into the wall for Alonso, rolled once and then went end over end, luck boy

You don't see fire these days.

I remember way back that any - every! - accident as serious as this would start a fuel fire.

Big to people like Jackie Stewart for fighting so much for a safety culture.

 

[Limejuice]

Aha - Rosberg switches from soft to medium.

Is that to get him to the end to combat Ferraris or to close off against Hammy?

 

[1%er]

Mercs and Ferrari on different strategies, so an interesting end to the race I feel

Is that to get him to the end to combat Ferraris or to close off against Hammy?

Both I think

 

[Limejuice]

Hammy: How do I turn this alarm off?

Radio: I'm sorry I can't tell you.

 

[1%er]

With the alarm going he really can drive it like he stole it

 

[Limejuice]

Wut? Kimi?

ETA: That was very nearly a char-grilled Kimi.

 

[Limejuice]

Supersofts put on at the restart are dying.

Vettel's missed a trick. Should have put mediums on like Rosberg.

Yes I don't understand why Ferrari didn't change his tyres, Lewis can fly now

 

[1%er]

Lewis now 1 second a lap faster than those in front of him

 

[Limejuice]

Assuming the mediums really will last to the end...

But then Mercedes used mediums all through testing so I presume they're confident.

 

[Limejuice]

Vettel on softs vs Hammy on mediums. Bring it on.

 

[1%er]

Its on

 

[Limejuice]

Its on

It's off.

Well done Haas and to Danny Ric

 

[Limejuice]

Points to Haas F1 on their debut.

Good result for Grosjean.

Good drive by Ricciardo.

Did the red flag cost Ferrari the win, was that a lucky race for Mercedes.

Bahrain will be interesting (and at a reasonable time for me My old lady has crashed out LOL shes done an Alonso )
