Grosjean flying, fab stuff. Shame for Ricciardo though.

Me too, my expectation was that a mistake like that would be a slam dunk DQ. Being allowed to continue with a fairly light penalty and not even rectifying the situation is farcical.

I wouldn't say dq, but I was expecting stop go and change tires to correct set.

Real shame for Ricciardo.

MissChief · 23 Aug 2015 at 13:49

I was expecting an enforced pit stop, a change and then a five or ten second hold.

MooMoo444 · 23 Aug 2015 at 13:51

VSC has been a positive change at least. We didn't lose 5 laps waiting for McLaren to unlap.

Flibster · 23 Aug 2015 at 13:51

Rosberg gained 1.2s on Hamilton in Sector 2 while under the VSC. Hmm.

Perez told to make these tyres last. Going to the end on them if possible.

Vertigo · 23 Aug 2015 at 13:51

Hmm Lewis is right, Rosberg gained about a second during the VSC period. Lewis being slower than necessary or Rosberg going too fast?

It's running the car in an illegal configuration, it should be taken as seriously as any other technical infringement. As harsh as it sounds it has to be a DQ to retain what little integrity the sport still has.

Come on clouds. Unleaaash.

I hope Rosberg actually broke the limit for S2 where he gained 1.2 freaking seconds under a VSC and gets a penalty. Team shouldn't be compromising Hamilton's race to help out Rosberg if Rosberg get himself in trouble. Was it China by pitting Rosberg first Hamilton ended up very close to being passed by Rosberg and Vettel when he'd had a healthy lead, here as well a 7+ second gap halved to protect Rosberg at Hamilton's expense.... again.

Accuweather suggesting 45 mins time for rain.

Glaucus · 23 Aug 2015 at 13:52

Nonsense its a mistake that can be dealt with. No need for dq at all.

As long as Nico didn't go under the target time then there's no issue.

Hope it rains, could do with livening up this.

I don't believe that Rosberg would cheat.

ham put his foot down now, pulling away atleast .7 per lap quicker.

smr · 23 Aug 2015 at 13:58

If this continues my fav track of the season wins most boring race of the season.

CaptainRAVE · 23 Aug 2015 at 13:59

At least Hamilton has made his point in the track.
