Rosberg ordered to give up the position. I thought team orders were illegal!

Hamiltons gone

Hamilton is 3 seconds a lap faster.

HS Thompson · Post by **HS Thompson** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:33 pm

Vettel all over Massa.

I hate Monaco. Massa is so slow, but noone can pass

Its not up to Nico To look after Lewis' race.

Not a problem, team orders have been issued to let Lewis by.

Did Merc leave it to late though?

Agreed. The worst track by far. An appalling racing experience. I'm only watching because it's on free TV.

Rain musings number 4... Next year with the wider tyres will be even worst because the psi from tyre to road will be less. More aquaplaning.

Rosberg looks safe in 3rd, but 2 secs a lap slower than Ham who's closing in Ric! Woohoo

Yes. It was clear 3 or more laps earlier that Rosberg was just going nowhere but backwards.

Did Bottas just tag the wall there?

F1_Ernie · Post by **F1_Ernie** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:37 pm

Massa is so slow

LKS1 · Post by **LKS1** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:38 pm

Good to hear team orders again though.

Actually another poster has a good point - aren't these sort of radio transmissions supposed to be illegal?

HS Thompson · Post by **HS Thompson** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:38 pm

Kevin Magnussen stuffs it into the wall.

Personally, I would enjoy seeing racing instead of team orders.

neek · Post by **neek** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:39 pm

Safety car? Ric / Ham need to pit i guess

There is no racing at this track.

Time for inters I'm thinking

mikeyg123 · Post by **mikeyg123** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:40 pm

Rosberg has absolutely no speed. He must have a problem.

HS Thompson · Post by **HS Thompson** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:40 pm

Kvyat took Kevin Magnussen into the wall.

Tell that to Perez a few seasons back.

zaar · Post by **zaar** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:41 pm

Massa botched Vettels race by being so slow. And Kvyat ... well, Kvyat. I assume, this will be his last season in F1.

mikeyg123 · Post by **mikeyg123** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:42 pm

Guttierez up to 9th.

Yep, he has no balls

Rosberg train is back lol, Massa done him a right favour holding Vettel up

SDLRob · Post by **SDLRob** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:42 pm

DRS enabled

mikeyg123 · Post by **mikeyg123** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:43 pm

Verstappen is the only driver who can overtake. A superb performance.

akeizm · Post by **akeizm** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:43 pm

Ros is trying to beat the Trulli train?

Llotyhy · Post by **Llotyhy** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:44 pm

Max passing cars left, right and center again... This guy!

Edit: and 2-3s quicker than Rosberg who has a clear track.

neek · Post by **neek** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:44 pm

fgs pit Ham, Max is flying

neek · Post by **neek** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:45 pm

Or stay out for slicks ..mhmmmm

zaar · Post by **zaar** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:45 pm

What's up at Mercedes. Are they trying to skip intermediates?

Its Hammy not wanting to pit.

Post by **P-F1 Mod** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:46 pm

Sky just reported Rosberg has brake problems, hence the pace difference.

F1_Ernie · Post by **F1_Ernie** » Sun May 29, 2016 12:48 pm

With Rosbergs pace he could lose more positions at the pit stops if others pit before him

I'm sorry that James Hunt isn't still commentating, he would have been most unambiguous about that move from Kvyat.

Dan almost behind Lewis now
