Onboard video from Kvyat's car that transpired McLaren mess! 1117339009787863042 To me that's a very definition of a racing incident. First lap, hard battle with multiple cars, one slight error (very tiny oversteer) in the midst of things. In here the penalty was 100% based on the result of what ha...

You completely ignore the fact that Ferrari has now taken out a Merc two races in a row. Like Toto said, "either they are incompetent or it was deliberate", either way not acceptable. Lewis had the pace and made up lost time, finishing only a few seconds behind Seb Vettel in the end. So, if he didn...

Excuse me but am I going crazy or has anyone forgot the Austria was the last race, not France? I mean, many people refer to "Ferrari taking out a Merc two weeks in a row" and "Vettel hit Bottas last week", but as I remember France was the race where Vettel took Bottas out and that was two weeks ago?...

Red flag please!

ducking hell, c'mon! Amateur hour out there. Great finish ruined!

erm..... Kimi Also, depends what happened. If the light went green, there's no fault from the driver. I'm sure the light was green. I checked. Yep, light was green, and as mentioned, just by looking at the slow mo of the pit stop, leg is broken just below knee. Kimi was fuming inside the car once h...

Kimi really looking poor out there. He needs to overtake Bottas but can't even stay with him. He's lost his podium for sure now. And I'm not convinced Vettel is in an advantageous position, either. I think he may well end up 3rd now How would he drop to 3th? Bottas is the only competition, Hamilton...

Verstappen is such a tool

Haha, seeing Jos Verstappen's Twitter, I know understand why Max acts like a child. His father is just as bad!

Which other driver left the track with all 4 wheels and made a pass? Bottas over Ricardo early in the race and then Bottas also did it to Verstappen - IIRC Vettle did it to Bottas when he squeezed between him and Vandoorne..... I'm not sure, as I haven't looked at the replay, but... As I saw it in ...

'I hope no fans come to this race next season.' Super mature Max Verstappen, ladies and gentlemen. He is bringing sport in disrepute. Spoiled arrogant brat. What an absolute brat he is. He's 20 years old, and acts like a teenager. EDIT: I'll add some actual content to my post as well: I can't under...

Kimi Raikkonen: “The feeling with the car today was pretty ok, obviously there are some small issues but they are more related to the tyres: it’s difficult to make them warm up, especially the front tyres, but overall it’s not too bad. " Ah. Don't expect too much from qualifying, then... Good thing...

Interestingly it seems Kimi was faster on the harder compound?

Sappher

Let's not forget Vettel wasn't right at the tail of Alonso. It's a pretty long right hand turn, and if Vettel was at a certain angle it is possible that he just could not see the oversteer of the car. I mean, at his point of view it might've looked like Fernando simply turned right, while actual he ...

First great race drive from Kimi since Spa; without that pitstop mistake, he'd have finished ahead of Alonso for sure. I have to wonder how much of this is Ferrari finally deciding to actually fix his problems now that Alonso is going ;) It'd be strange if they actually work on fixing Kimi's proble...

Kimi just can't drive with the harder tires. Too bad for him.

Sappher

Getting a new chassis doesn't mean he get's a complitely new car - it's still the F1AT. Just that Kimi gets a newly built version of it, because he and/or his engineers think there is something wrong with the current one. I personally don't think it will change anything, only time Kimi seemed comfor...

Just watched the video. Poor Jules. Can't begin to imagine what was going through his mind as he approached the JCB. I have never watched a race and felt like that before. I didn't start watching F1 til 1997 so missed Senna. Which I am thankful for. I just hope Jules recovers and we never have to s...

He said after the race that at last he could drive how he wanted to. Anybody know what he meant by that? I don't have any facts, but I'd like to think it means Ferrari are finally getting the nose of the car acting like Kimi wants. It's a good sign of course, hopefully they didn't have to compromis...

He was in front of both and was outbraked. His positioning can't be blamed for Vettel ramming him. He has nowhere to go as Alonso was right alongside. Should he just meekly give the place away?

Is FRIC something that is only useful for race cars (ie. you need to go fast through corners), or could it be useful in road cars? I'm no engineer, but as I understand, FRIC plays to level the car under braking and when driving over bumbs (kerbs in racing), not only affecting the aerodynamics but a...

I read Kimi saying he had flat spotted a tire in the first lap and it affected the rest of the laps aswell. Not good for tomorrow though, or can he change the tires without a penalty, if there's a really bad flat spot? Source: http://www.mtv.fi/sport/f1/uutiset.shtml/2014/06/1907822/raikkonen-vaikee...

Good thing Vettel had a DNF else Ferrari would fall further behind. I think at this point, it's the team position that matters and if Ferrari can be second, both drivers would have met their objectives. It's a huge shame though, with Kimi 3rd and Alonso 5th they would've actually gotten closer to R...

Kimi couldn't finish his last run, because of the yellow flags. I'm not sure if he was any faster on that lap, but anyway. I wouldn't really look into the gap too much.

It was worn off in the collision with someone, right before his race ending accident. The front wing of the other car was touching the rear tyre for a period of time, and it scratched the markings right of the tyre!

On that video, altough you can't see it, Alonso blocked Kimi on turn 2. That's where he was close by, but Alonso shut the door eventhough he had plenty of room to the right. That said, I DO NOT think Alonso did anything wrong. In hindsight it's easy to say that Kimi would not have been in front of M...

It's also not worth it I guess to have a package you don't really understand. I mean, Newey has created the Red Bull aero package, he knows every bit of it. Marussia probably could copy (most of) it, but they wouldn't really know why it works, and therefore couldn't really develop it.

It's going to rain again.. Should have known, everytime Kimi is feeling good in practise, rain arrives and ruins the weekend.

so what happens when all 5 engines are used, grid penalty? Same question. Also, if all 5 engines are done and a team uses a 6th do they have to buy a new one from Ferrari/Renault/Merc or they are given a new one? As to the first question: Yes. But you have to keep in mind, that each engine consists...

Only thing that has been bothering me is the fact that it always sounds like they shortshift.

It seems there is something Ferrari is trying to change. Already on thursday Kimi said to TS, he will have new parts to the car,( assuming he means front end) so that he also can drive that car like he prefers. He says, they can do something with the set up but not enough, because its a reality dri...

Alonso fastest time was 1m 34.280s, Kimi only a 1m 35.426...i hope this is not an indicator for the season... Well, if Kimi is 1,2 slower than Alonso in quali, he might aswell grab a Magnum and go home right now. So no, I do not think it's any indicator for the season. Kimi haven't done any setup w...
