Poll: Mexico Grand Prix 2016, Mexico City - Race 19/21

[Psycho Ned]

Why am I expecting Perez to try a banzai up the inside before long and Massa to do his trademark "he shouldn't have been there guv not my fault!" and turn into him?!

 

[Glaucus]

They haven't been good for ages, out developed. Or have they been borrowing Ferraris strategy guys.

 

[smr]

milking the perez airtime or wat!

 

[Glaucus]

I shouldn't be massively surprised but this saving/managing can be frustrating sometimes. 2 or 3 balls out stints would be more exciting. Or just make the races shorter knowing people get bored of the middle part.

Trouble is they can't, due to the absolutely stupid two tyre rule.

Imagine 3 sets of super sorts compared to just one set of mediums with zero stops.

 

[Glaucus]

FFs DC what era has it ever been push every single lap. Mangment has always been part of f1, even back in the glory turbo days, as if you pushed often your turbo exploded.
The issue is tyre rules and aero rules.

We had that before. Everyone just ended up 1 stopping (or not stopping at all as a preference). Then everyone complained about tyres that went the entire race.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Well this is exciting.

 

[mjt]

Christ this is dull.

That's because bridge stone tyres, didn't have a cliff. These tyres are very different to that era.

 

[englishpremier]

Race is getting a bit dull. Everyone is around 4-5 seconds away from the car in front

 

[UTmaniac]

Bit of a Trulli Palmer train forming!

 

[Glaucus]

Ham needs to pic the pace up, oh so slightly. Just keep a 4 or 5 second gap.

I know F1 has always had an element of saving/management but it is a bit boring. lol I watch a lot of the old races on the F1 channel and it's always been there so maybe shorter races are the answer? Oh well, maybe next years shake up will at least make it interesting for the year... It's funny how we never talk of fuel saving any more. Well, not as much.

 

[Flibster]

231.5mph there for Bottas in the speed trap.

 

[Jimbeam3678]

Only reason why I'm still watching is to hopefully see Rosberg's engine go pop

Or sort the silly tyre rules out, and sort the aero out.
I doubt it, next years aero is even worse.

That's the trouble with f1 keep introducing silly rules to introduce "excitement" rather than solving underlying issues.

 

[Flibster]

Eh? Another stop for used medium tyres for Raikkonen?

 

[Jono8]

What are Ferrari doing?

 

[el_dazza]

Actually fell asleep then

 

[muon]

What are Ferrari doing?

Not looking good for Hamilton if they don't last.
