hamilton is over a second a lap faster than everyone almost every lap.

Closer to 1/2 second. 9 laps 5.4secinds

They sound like a bunch of electric toothbrushes put together in a wooden box, all vibrating about

I like the engine noise, but it's not F1. This is how lemans prototypes should sound imo. They should force some rude boy exhausts onto the cars

Felipe, Bottas is faster than you.

I'm pretty sure if i ran from my bedroom to my bathroom I'd be faster than Massa!

You said Hamilton over everyone, not non mercs

Nicely timed. Magnussen comes in for a pit stop. Leaves the pit. Stewards award him a 5 second stop/go penalty.

A couple of nice retro cherrybomb's for extra cool.

Those arrows on the pit stops make me laugh. Are they going to forget which way to drive in?

Default 13....

Hmmmmm.............

Thought Alonso was coming in soon, the RBR's were falling back in to him till 2 laps ago or so when suddenly he was dropping back pretty fast so I presume his tyres went off. So Ferrari tyre wear seems significantly worse than Merc/RBR at the moment.

Lotus tyre wear this year....... lol, who the hell knows

Looks like ALonso and Riccy to be ahead of Vettel unless they screw each other up.

Riccardo is amazing. so much fight this and last race.

Part worn tyres for Vet?

 

[drunkenmaster]

Fingers crossed he ends up behind both of them.

EDIT:- bah, think those few corners fighting and being slow probably cost them.

 

[utajoker]

sounds like ham was saving fuel a little bit.

Part worn tyres for Vet?

Vettel was stuck onto a new set of medium tyres.

They all have plenty of new tyres due to the rain.

All seem to be changing onto new mediums. Only Chilton and Vergne have switched to hard tyres.

Hammy hasnt even used as much fuel as a lot of the field either!

 

[Haydz]

Riding on board the cars still doesn't quite seem right with the lack of engine noise.

It's much easier for on board commentary though, I wonder if it will still seem so alien to me come the end of the season.

 

[utajoker]

that is a cool graphic.

How are they getting the fuel consumption data?

 

[drunkenmaster]

Fuel usage, potentially awesome to know those numbers, Massa using significantly less than everyone else.
