Meanwhile, Kimi still ahead of Max.

EDIT: Or was, till he pitted.

Surely a brake issue* as a safety concern should be exempt. *Assuming button has one If it were a serious brake issue, RETIRE THE CAR. Define a serious brake issue... Some issues can be managed by changing bias, lift and coasting etc. "The pedal is going clear to the floor" -Jensen Button. I think ...

sparky

Good news for Button. He is no longer last.

sparky

Jenson should go and cut the brake lines on the stewards cars before they drive home. We can see how safe they feel then. So you are saying that Jensen thought his car was unsafe, but refused to retire it? I think another penalty is in order for him then. Jenson was told to keep the car on the trac...

sparky

What's the penalty for failing to stop with a damaged car? A penalty for that would be a load of BS. Penalise him for his dodgy driving but not for getting his broken car across the line You say that but everyone talks about safety. What if his front wing flew off and hit another car causing a cras...

Couldn't give a toss about the Mercs, both keep running each other wide every race. Button kept it in the points, and Manor finally get a point!

How the rumour mill quickly begins to start.

A rumour has surfaced that mentions Ericsson may have crashed in to his team made deliberately. However, I have doubts about this, because its stupid and highly dangerous, as we all know. But, it has happened before.

sparky

I would love to be a fly on the wall in the RBR office.

sparky

Glad I zoned out after half the race.

OK, that made me laugh!

So RBR screwed up, Merc gave team order to Rosberg to let Lewis pass (and for some reason he accepted) - but it will be considered a 'genuine' win for Lewis? Shut Up with the rubbish and wait to hear what Rosberg says first There were brake problems, so yes, Merc did order Robserg to let Ham throug...

How many people will say Ham's move just then is fair racing.

Look again. Ricci's HUNGRY!

Ric is now on slower tyres, unless Ham goes wide I doubt he will pass.

Its Hammy not wanting to pit.

There is no racing at this track.

Tell that to Perez a few seasons back.

Rosberg has problems.

Rosberg just let Hammy past.

sparky

All the Manors need to do is keep out of trouble....

sparky

Why do I expect that another safety car is going ot be deployed thank to Palmer's crash.

sparky

Not going to happen, but it would be very interesting to see what a rated driver could do in a Manor car.

sparky

In this situation I feel both should have had some kind of penalty, but I can understand why Palmer took to the slip road instead of weaving around the humps. Its simply quicker, and leaves less of a risk of damaging the car. However was Mag's penalty too harsh?

sparky

I just found it funny that for a lap or two a Manor car was being waved the blues and started pulling away from which ever Red Bull was leading at the time. It was sad to see that he had to pull over to let them pass, but I can also understand it.

sparky

I'm not buying it. I suspect it was more a case of Alonso asking to get Jenson moved, only to be told to over take instead.

sparky

Seeing as I pointed out that is a lower order team had a coming together no one would be talking about it.... Well, guess what hapened on the last lap. http://www.formula1.com/content/fom-website/en/latest/headlines/2016/5/magnussen-penalised-for-intra-renault-clash.html Now, I must have missed this...

sparky

All this fuss over a racing incident. Would we all be having this conversation if it was the Manors that did this?

sparky

Alonso out.

And, just for a giggle. He has led for more laps that Hammy, this season so far.

It's a good bounce back from a poor weekend so far

Remember, no one wants a floaty rear end!

On a slightly different note, impressed that Button has been keeping ahead of Alonso.

sparky

I.... can't help but remember Hammy doing some very similar crowing on first laps in other races. For that part I would say its a racing incident, just two drivers wanting the same patch of race track. However, I do wonder is Rosberg's weaving around the track is worth investigating.

I don't think that gif is clear enough.

So... Haryanto went off and caused a red flag again. Car in the barriers this time, but no idea if there is actual damage. I didn't expect much from Haryanto but I certainly didn't think I would have to say that Celis Jr seems to be doing a better job than Haryanto. I suspect Pastor has stolen the ...

Upon reading the article it would seem that maybe Manor might go for Maldonado. Have to admit, they would bite his hands off for that kind of money.

sparky

I guess they never read the story of 'The Boy That Cried Wolf'. They've threatened to quit so many times now I doubt anyone believes their threats.
