Re: The F1 Thread

Track is very low on grip today, loads of people spinning. Tail wind is causing issues too.

There will be rain in Spain!
Not sure if the track is on a plain... I think it's on a hill.

Feel sorry for Gasley. Came through a tricky few corners, avoided contact and then the field opens in front if him and he slams into the spinning Haas.Bodacious Benny wrote:Bet Grosjean was shiting himself.

Im glad Grosjean got a penalty although its quite light really for a dangerous move like that, he could have wiped out far more people easily

Re: The F1 Thread
I think it's a joke that you do something dangerous and stupid like that and get a 3 place grid penalty but you'll get a bigger grid penalty for having a gearbox change!Micky Quim wrote:Im glad Grosjean got a penalty although its quite light really for a dangerous move like that, he could have wiped out far more people easily

Re: The F1 Thread
The rules are bloody stupid. How can it be right that you can drive faster in the pit lane than you can under a VSC?Bodacious Benny wrote:I think it's a joke that you do something dangerous and stupid like that and get a 3 place grid penalty but you'll get a bigger grid penalty for having a gearbox change!Micky Quim wrote:Im glad Grosjean got a penalty although its quite light really for a dangerous move like that, he could have wiped out far more people easily

Re: The F1 Thread
Its not subject to the same restriction so it can be really advantageous to pit during the VSC. Now Im exaggerating a bit, but the VSC measurements stop when you go into the pit lanePTAO wrote:You can't.Micky Quim wrote: The rules are bloody stupid.

Re: The F1 Thread
It's not advantageous, it's just less disadvantagous than a regular pit stop, as other cars can't go as fast whilst you are speed limited/stopped.Micky Quim wrote:Its not subject to the same restriction so it can be really advantageous to pit during the VSC.

This whole misunderstanding is a product of Sky/BBC crying their eyes out when Vettel won Australia because he lost less time in his pit stop than Hamilton and was really misinforming people.

Re: The F1 Thread
Its still bloody stupid, as are lots of the rules. Unlapping yourself under the safety car for example, what is the point?PTAO wrote:It's not advantageous, it's just less disadvantagous than a regular pit stop, as other cars can't go as fast whilst you are speed limited/stopped.Micky Quim wrote: Its not subject to the same restriction so it can be really advantageous to pit during the VSC.

Re: The F1 Thread
Yeah that is the most pointless thing ever. Oh we'll let them unlap themselves, hold up the race, and then when it restarts wave blue flags at them again to make them get out of the way even though they were already out of the way behind the safety car!
