Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
WOW, what a crash.
Thanks to the safety built into the cars Alonso was able to walk away, and that Gutierrez rushed to see if he was OK

What is betting Sky put their prices up to pay for it.
I will jus watch on RTL and have the ipad at the side of me with Radio 5 Live.
The Germany commentry is absolute rubbish, they have no idea how to get excited during the qualifying or the race.
F1 wonder why it is losing popularity, well that link above is a major reason why.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
Oh well, the way F1 is going, I won't miss it ... BRING BACK FUEL STOPS - it's the only way to shake up strategy.
Dump the safety car and bring back proper restart!
Bring back spare cars, first corner incidents and the dash to reset the spare for the other driver.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
Way not to go, Lewis, got to improve those starts.
And a very creditable performance for Haas, new team hitting the ground running with some decent points ... and a point for the McLaren super-sub ... in a below par car, maybe one of the other teams will poach him next season.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
Rosberg wins Chinese GP, Hamilton 7th after starting last.
---------- Post added at 09:36 ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 ----------
Latest driver standings:
1. Rosberg, Mercedes, 75
2. Hamilton, Mercedes, 39
3. Ricciardo, Red Bull, 36
4. Vettel, Ferrari, 33
5. Raikkonen, Ferrari, 28
6. Massa, Williams, 22
7. Kvyat, Red Bull, 21
8. Grosjean, Haas, 18
9. Verstappen, Toro Rosso, 13
10. Bottas, Williams, 7
11. Hulkenberg, Force India, 6
12. Sainz Jr., Toro Rosso, 4
13. Vandoorne, McLaren, 1
Constructors:
1. Mercedes, 114
2. Ferrari, 61
3. Red Bull, 57
4. Williams, 29
5. Haas F1, 18
6. Toro Rosso, 17
7. Force India, 6
8. McLaren, 1
Says something when a stand in drivers scores more points than the 2 main drivers for a team doesn't it? Button and Alonso need to pull their fingers out. Haas, who I thought would score nothing, have more points than McLaren.

Nico gifted his 3rd win of the season
---------- Post added at 13:37 ---------- Previous post was at 13:11 ----------
Its a shame that no commentator would ask Nico about another gifted win.

Re: 2016 Formula 1 Season Thread
Hamilton's misery continues, engine failure puts him out of Q3.
If things balance out eventually, Rosberg is due some bad luck soon!
