[Danthus]

Don't cry Sebastian.

 

[Malt_Vinegar]

Ok, so now I am awake!
Phew!

Nooooooooo.

That is all

 

[robbiemc]

Vettel out too by the look of it.

 

[the1gooner]

Its okay Hamilton, things happen for a reason don't they!

 

[englishpremier]

why was vettel so slow. Presumably even if the all the electric motors fail you can still fun the car on the 500bhp or whatever it is that the ICE puts out and just trundle around a couple seconds slower picking up points when others retire.

No pressure on the turbo by the radio messages. Which means everything *******. No where near 500bhp with no turbo and no turbo energy recovery which is unlimited recovery, unlike braking which is limited.

RBR must have accidentally given vettel webbers old car.

new numbers etc ..stir stir

 

[drunkenmaster]

Koby's front wing passed the crash test....

Shame it happened so early, Rosberg's pace appears to be showing how strong that Merc is

 

[utajoker]

rosberg is nearly a second a lap faster than the field. prob coasting a bit already.

I don't care what anyone says, these engines sound too quiet and very naff.

It doesn't work like that, the engine and the MCUs are all linked, that is the problem.

This is awful.

Turn off then.

 

[Type_R]

'That is ridiculous guys'

 

[Glaucus]

Not only do they sound great, you can hear all sorts you couldn't, tyres, crowd. Etc.

 

[Jono8]

This is awful.

Turn off then.

Did I say the engine sound is a deal breaker?
