cant see button losing this now.

2.6 is absolutely crazy fast

Shame it's either 2.6 or 12.6

Rather than the others with a solid 3seconds give or take.

Had good is diresta, every man and his dog went past rosberg, yet he was stuck behind him for about 3-4laps

 

[CaptainRAVE]

And when's the. Last time. We had a massive fire?
Risk of being hit in the head, compare to. Being stuck.

The risk is far greater with open cockpit.

Unless they can find a solution to easily get the cockpit off. F1 is meant to be the pinnacle of Motorsport afterall.

Does he have to stop again?
Either way he's in great position, leading after stops and with much newer tyres.

Vettel nor button have to re-stop.

Just use the technology fighter jets have used for decades - just not as powerful

Whats pinnacle go to do with it?
How is closed cockpit not the pinnacle?

The risks are far greater with open cockpit. Yes closed cockpit bring it's own problems, but the risks are far far lower. Thus closed cockpit even with its downsides is far safer.

We simply haven't seen any crash in absolutely years, where closed cockpit would have been a disadvantage. The same can not be said for the reverse. We've seen several accidents and loads of close calls.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Certainly keeps the championship alive bringing them all closer together at the top end.

Interviewing Maldonardo on sky

Great start? No Natalie, he jumped the start!

 

[Glaucus]

Plan a has to be one stopper.

 

[Kenai]

Rosberg goes from pretty much slowest man on track to fastest

 

[el_dazza]

Vettel's been brilliant into the bus stop today.

 

[Skillmister]

Vettel loves that corner

What's the need to investigate that? So ****ing boring there was no incident just let it be

Because if any formula can find a solution to getting the cockpit off, F1 can. I don't see why people are so against it, I am sure the brains behind F1 can find a solution. I think you misread what I was saying, I am all for closed cockpit.

He means the best motorsport engineers in the world might well be able to come up with a decent cockpit removal solution that nullifies the potential 'stuck in cockpit' problems.

Stewards are going to be busy.

Caterham/HRT unsafe release after the race
Schumacher/Vettel pit entry after the race

I'm assuming that Hamilton and Fat John will be summoned too...

Maldonado as well...

 

[Glaucus]

I think you misread what I was saying, I am all for closed cockpit.

yeah I did.

 

[Irish_Tom]

I think it's funny that we all assumed the drivers who would cause havoc at the start would be Maldonado, Kobayashi and Hamilton.

Everyone overlooked the whirlwind that is Grosjean.

Yup, this

Why Hamilton?
