What was ric’s issue?

I’m guessing the batts weren’t providing power anywhere near 100% capacity/load and were constantly trying to recharge? Batt management system error, or similar?

simonr23

What do we think the chances are of it being ready for qualifying? Similar to him being there next year(or the finish of this year...)

Edit- wow, that’s maggotted! Lol at the comm guys. “Might not make qauli” hmm, I think it might not do well for tomorrow.

simonr23

He set a massive purple in s3. How was there no advantage in getting over to the outside and opening up the final turn???

Edit- replying to the sky commentary team on lewis’ lap.

simonr23

Kubica was the fastest williams driver on Friday. That in itself should be embarrassing for Williams. He was the slower driver in testing, after all.

simonr23

And opposite award for Hartley! Did he have a proven car issue? So far in f1, he looks like the since of the field.

simonr23

‘Someone’ is Mercedes.

simonr23

Dovi is changing my opinion of him this year. It’s great seeing him have some fight. He’s still a ‘gentleman’ in his actions though. I thought Marc was going to win, but was rooting for dovi.

simonr23

I’ll be watching this live, then watching a recording of the f1, unless Bathurst finishes very early.

Ps-wet race almost certain.
PPS- 2.03.8 for pole.

simonr23

To the OP, we have the opposite of your wish

sucks to be an Aussie.

simonr23

Ham is giving Ric a lesson so far. Really impressive- and I am exactly not a fan of hams.

simonr23

Poor alonso. Up to third and then gets hit. He could've held third today, too.

simonr23

WOW!!!

simonr23

This was pretty amazing to watch. Lucky crowd weren't hurt, too. Glad he wasn't hurt seriously. Impressive to jump back in(hopefully there weren't any short-cuts taken by the medic team) for his next race.

simonr23

Well done mclaren in this session

simonr23

Has to, if we're sensible and fair people on this forum...

simonr23

I think you're right, but how much longer can the finances/sponsors last/accept the way things have gone over the last three years...

simonr23

Max is certainly on top in quali now. Something I think will stay the same- overall. Beyond that, can't say. F1 is 300km per race. Until a driver actually completes that distance, the rest of the race doesn't really mean anything.

Edit-honda engined cars excepted.

simonr23

Mikey, since we're just spewing assumptions in this thread, what if max is ignoring directions of 'ensure no longitudinal wheel slip in the first 6 laps' or 'don't reach lat/lon g-force of 4.9 before the fuel load is under 70%' or 'don't upchange beyond 10750rpm' or 'don't upchange while experiencin...

simonr23

If a driver isn't trying (cruising) how can they be 'driver' of the race? Perhaps there should be a 'in the dominant car and he happens to be good/my favourite' category.

simonr23

.5 ves to Ric. Smashed him. Palmer showing up hulk so far too.

simonr23

All Motorsport authorities are like this. It's entertainment first, sport second. Max likely got done as an accumulation of dumbass moves, that are not quite enough to justify a punishment on their own. The one in the race annoyed me as a Ric fan, but probably didn't deserve the punishment in isolat...

simonr23

Merc turned the engine up there! That was just an insane speed difference. Same engined car and the williams is quite slippery in a straight line.

simonr23

If it's camo they're aiming for, then stop with all the smoke signals!

simonr23

I'm having to eat my hat about stroll. Everything considered, well done.

Unrelated- anyone who is a fan of the Aussie v8supercar series, find a way to watch today's race from Tasmania. Gobsmacking series of events. I'll say no more.

simonr23

Well done Melbourne bogans /s.

simonr23

He's stuffed tomorrow. Starting 10/15 and his top speeds are low compared to most of the field(team mate included) in these three qualifying sessions.

simonr23

It's obviously gods will! Lewis is a very religious person, so surely he is aware this is all happening for a reason, and it isn't for him to question...

simonr23

I think the story red bull are giving is slightly coloured to suit their own agenda. We know teams can change a tyre just having a flat spot, so a clutch that shows actual signs of damage would be allowed(I believe). Surely rbr just found that something wasn't optimal for the Singapore launch and wa...

simonr23

Great lap Hamilton. Also good job bottas. If redbull can keep their tyres alive tomorrow, I think they'll both beat the Williams.

simonr23

If the tyre isn't an immediate chance of deflating, tough luck. It's a joke that it can be changed from a flat spot. If these changes are allowed, then they should be forced to change them if there's a flat spot created during the race, too! The current rule is absurd. Go nuts on a tyre, flat spot i...

simonr23

And except for when they randomly/ and inconsistently, punish a driver for passing or coercing a driver off the track. ducking does my head in.

simonr23

I realise that. But it isn't predicting 2017-2022, with any number of potential scenarios to play out. It's based on what we have immediately available to us(cars, tracks, tyres, pit stops, etc) I'm surprised to see and think that max is doing better than Dan. The only weekend that was definitely no...

simonr23

Hmmm, today hasn't posted my confidence, but I'll give it another race before I personally accept a talent/ability deficit.

simonr23

He was using 7th gear on that live footage.

simonr23

If there's no engine power, or strange setup differences, I think max is going to overthrow dan as no.1

simonr23

Ric fan here. I think max is doing an overall excellent job. Probably a bit better than dan in the races(not Monaco obviously)

simonr23

And further dumbness the sky team unwavering ability to think logically and from a POV other than the inside of their contrymen's anus.

simonr23

Also, have a look at Austin, I think first lap, first corner, the exact same thing happened and no penalty given.

simonr23

So much dumbness going on. Ros stuffed up, stewards picking on the damaged car(first time ever?), ignoring(seemingly) the potential overtake after the incident under yellows, Wolff making up bs excuses for nico,

simonr23

Maybe they wanted the drivers to hold station after the stops?
