Austrian Grand Prix 2014, Spielberg - Race 8/19

[GravyMonster]

Kvyat puncture. Well out the way though.

 

[Flibster]

Kvyat clouted something.

Aaah... no brakes.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Rosberg looking quick. Overtake button? Now Hamilton has a lot to do.

 

[Flibster]

Perez just got mugged twice. Have his tyres gone off?

 

[Finners]

Good for bottas, took his opportunity to keep up with Rosberg

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton and massa stuck.

 

[GravyMonster]

Go time for Hamilton. Needs to close that rather large gap now.

 

[drunkenmaster]

why all of a sudden is there so much pressure on mercs brakes, they where fine for the first 6 races.

they must now be starting to run the cars close to max.

As they learn more about engines, cut things closer to the edge, and deflect the air differently from front wing changes, the cars go a little faster. Slightly faster cars means slightly more pressure on the brakes. Maybe all getting a little worried about penalties now so wanting to use the engine braking a tiny bit less meaning more pressure on brakes.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Hamilton fastest lap

 

[GravyMonster]

Great heads-up driving from Bottas there to mug Perez at the same time.

 

[Finners]

Did his suspension collapse?

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Rosberg under pressure!!!

 

[GravyMonster]

Bottas fighting Rosberg

Come on Valterri!

 

[drunkenmaster]

What happened to Rosberg?

 

[Finners]

Just what Hamilton wants.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

This race director is absolutely useless.

 

[Flibster]

Looks like Kvyats suspension failed when he hit the brakes. That reminds me of an incident that Toro Rosso have had in the past with Buemi's front wheels.

 

[Finners]

Is that a new front wing for vetted? Not his day is it.

 

[MagicBoy]

Average lap speed of 140mph. Not slow!

Probably the third fastest overall lap of the year after Monza, which is around 155mph, and Silverstone in the high 140s.

 

[Flibster]

Rosberg is slow.
