While watching the exciting Tuscan Grand Prix I began to wonder if maybe that scary crash during the safety car restart was perhaps the most expensive wrecks in a single incident in F1, in term of the cost of cars lost? I'm taking some big liberties of course: I'm not adjusting for inflation, and th...

Webber is moving up on my favorite drivers list.

LOL 'manage your tires'

But it was a great lap. Actually I don't think it was shown in tv so how do you know? :] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-QdCMkd0lA Copied this from a different thread. I know drivers are adjusting brake bias etc all the time, but seeing it done through the swimming pool and nailing the apexes perf...

Didn't even launch for me. I'm using the unofficial timing at http://formula1livetiming.com.

Thanks!! I didn't know this page existed.

Whoa Schumi.. that sucks for him.

Is it too late for a penalty yes? He was going to pass Vettel anyway to be honest. The move was more significant than his one on Alonso which gained him a penalty last year. It is totally irrelevant if he "would have got past him anyway" - if that was the case he shouldn't have weaved. The stewards...

Those following followed him exactly, it wasn't a move in response to an overtake from behind so it wasn't an attempt to block. Really, people need to read what a defensive move is, but it's pretty obviously not an issue.

Rosberg won by about 25 seconds, but only 30 seconds separated 2nd to 16th (and with no safety cars to artificially bunch them up) Wow. That's an interesting stat, probably partially do to the follow the leader trains that were forming later in the race... still very impressive job from Nico!! :pro...

Defending means moving laterally to prevent someone from passing you on that side.. pretty simple, and it wasn't defending at all, though I know too much weaving even though it's not a blocking defense will get the ire of some officials up. But in this case it's clearly not an issue.

" drivers may no longer move back onto the racing line having moved off it to defend a position." this is the rule, in it was vettel on Hamilton, there would be a forum full of it. If he gets 20 sec he'll be out of the points! He wasn't defending his position though. Vettel actually followed behind...

I'm just so happy right now...

OMG this is great racing!!

What is it with McLaren and pit stops this year?!?

I think it's too dangerous to limp back to the pits with a wheel that could fly off at any second I'm guessing.,

Lauda- 1975

Whoever would have bet on that podium correctly would be a very rich man right now!!!

I'm not saying that was a strategic team order, but why put that message in Perez's head.. he knows the score.

I'm having tacos and tequila tomorrow in honour of the drive Perez is putting in!!!

I think I'm going to apply to be a member of the McLaren pit crew.. seem like there may be some openings..

Macca need to study how Ferrari perform a pitstop, apparently.. it's night and day.

Yeah, the mentions of the Senna/Schumi battle is strange, but cool to hear.

I know Europe is the main viewership of F1, but us fans in other parts of the world have to watch almost every race at highly inconvienient times, so why not have the race during non-monsoon hours, and save this kind of garbage.

Booooooooo! @#$%%# red flag

I get that they had to put out the safety car for safety reasons, but that was some interesting racing before.
