2013 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix
Re: 2013 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix
Listened to the race on the wireless, will watch it later but just saw the BBC News report. Massa's tyre failure with the spin looked the most spectacular, remarkable he could continue.
There are questions to be answered, but my god Hamilton is annoying me more than ever. He's spent ages moping around lately (apart from yesterday) then gets on his high horse after the race. Yes he has every right to be disappointed, but I didn't like his tone in the BBC interview at all. I preferred the moping! He was getting high and mighty about safety, but that's not what he was really fussed about. It was about losing the race. I felt the same when Vettel and Red Bull were trying to get the tyres changed.
And on Rosberg, I'd add to what mikhailv said that he only won the race by 0.7s... If Webber backed off and Rosberg didn't and he eeked out a few extra tenths...

Interesting point, were the teams using the left hand rears on the right?

Re: 2013 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix
Wonder if that contributed, teams not using the tyres how they were intended...

That should have earned him a 5-place penalty for Germany... Let him keep the win, but Mercedes is getting away with so much lately.mikhailv wrote:A PURPLE under yellow flags!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thats disgusting!
A reprimand means nothing...

Re: 2013 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix
Yeah but neither does a 5 place penalty really. 'Dont worry, go set a purple sector when marshalls are on track, even though one died last race, and you can win the race, just start 5 places back at your home race! Oh wait, we dont want a race-winning german driver and team with a penalty at their home race! Sod it, reprimand'.Treacle wrote:That should have earned him a 5-place penalty for Germany...

if maldanado did it, it would be a DSQ. The disparity of this sport is disgusting. Its utterly ludicrous.
Re: 2013 Formula 1 Santander British Grand Prix
It seems that Mercedes is slowly taking the role of "Being impossible to punish" team. I mean, really, what else do we need? And, yes, that was an unsafe release by Ferrari.
Human at Sight,
Monster at Heart!

Felipe Massa was pretty angry post-race and refused to rule out the possibility of a driver protest

If that happened and if my calculations are correct: then it would be Webber, Hamilton, then Rosberg..mikhailv wrote:Rosberg escaped penalty then. I dont want him to lose the win or anything, but considering a marshal died last race, and he was setting fast times under double yellows with marshals on track? Surely a 3-place penalty would suffice. I mean, we lost a marshal last week and the race winner goes and belts it through the sector. Its not a great example is it?
Also surprised Alonso didnt get a penalty for the unsafe release. Did he not get anything because he recognised and stopped for Rogro or what?
Alonso would be not as close as it is right now. Do you think it's okay? for the sake of spicing up the championship fighting Vettel on top, I think we need Alonso as close as possible

rules are rules.

With Vettel's unfortunate retirement, Raikkonen is the only driver to have scored points in every race this season.

Last time a driver won the championship without scoring a point in British Grand Prix was 1999.
A craven can be as brave as any man, when there is nothing to fear. And we all do our duty, when there is no cost to it. How easy it seems then, to walk the path of honor.
