2015 Formula One World Championship - Round Fifteen - Russian Grand Prix Sochi (9-11 October 2015)

Oh s**t! Bottas is a chance for this!

Williams are too conservative.

 

[Smeg Head]

Two movements from Raikkonen there

 

[RustyCage]

Kimi may have to give that one up

All this carnage and Pastor is still running?

Is this the real life? Or is this just fantasy?

While I don't consider darth timon an idiot. He fails to acknowledge that Hamilton had some mechanical failures in qualifying. Sometime this adversely affected Hamilton, he had a opportunity to make up for it in the race. Rosberg had all his problems in the races, and had no opportunity to make up for it. This includes two races he would've won.

I do indeed acknowledge two of his issues were in qualifying and they prevented him from even fighting for victory.

In terms of sheer numbers of mechanical problems over the course of the year, their records in 2014 were similar. This year, Rosberg's come off worse, a lot worse, and I actually feel sorry for him. I don't know how different the title race would look if he'd not retired from here and Italy.

Very nice driving Dan!

Nice scrap between Dan and Carlos.

Sainz isn't racing like a bloke who was in hospital yesterday. Potential champion one day?

They might have prevented him from winning but they didn't prevent him from scoring significant points, especially in such an absurdly dominant car. Failures in the race are infinitely worse.

I don't, serves him right. Monaco never forgets

True, in which case Hamilton lost out on two occasions to three in 2014, which isn't a vast difference.

Monaco last year is one thing, but to be fair to him, he did nothing wrong at Monaco this year. His collision with Ricciardo at Hungary this year was a 50/50 incident with arguments to be made either way.

This track is too friendly on tyres.

* me dead. Bottas was about 3 laps behind at the start of that straight and still got past Sainz. No wonder DM wants to pull the plug, what's the point?

 

[darth_timon]

Vettel has leapfrogged Bottas

Those Ferrari pitstops wow

Engineer: Fernando we are racing Massa behind to the end
Alonso: I like your sense of humour

 

[darth_timon]

I wonder if Verstappen can fight his way into the points?

ALO just needs to STFU. We get it, the cars s**t, his attitude is toxic to the team environment and wouldn't be helping the situation at all.

You could tell from the Engineers response

 

[darth_timon]

Bottas and Kimi, great wheel to wheel action!

It was a joke dude. The engineer laughed.

 

[Chuckie357]

Why is the grandstand above the pit boxes empty?

I didn't hear the Engineer laugh at all, just sounded like he responded in frustration. Will have to hear it again.

Are those "Sochi, we get it done" signs a subtle dig at the US re: ISIS and Syria? hahaa
