Whats this about the helmet, missed that?

Visor was leaking.

Are there better wet tyres available than we have seen so far? Vettel mentioned "extremes," as I just lip-read between Max and Horner.

Take it to extremes means red flag the race I imagine.

There are extreme wets. But I can't remember when they were last used.

edit:

Or am i mistaken. Does it mean that extreme wets needs to be invented i.e. red flag.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Does the race have t end within 2 hours max regardless of a red flag?

 

[Glaucus]

Extremes are just full wets, rather than intermediates.

I think the timing stops due to the flag. All those safety car laps count towards time.

Because he was asked if it was too wet for intermediates. Makes sense.

Wow seeing the onboard of that manor...scary. Heart in mouth moment. Great driving by Ocon to react and get out of the way.

 

[Vertigo]

having drove a great season with 8 wins.. hardly by default if he does.

And if Lewis ends up winning more?

 

[smr]

What about all the wins which have been gifted to him while his team mate has problems with engine.

Don't get me wrong he has hoovered up the points when they have been up for grabs but for me he hasn't earn it.

i think he has deserved to win it.. what was lewis' excuse when rosberg utterly trounced him in singapore for example? even if lewis had more reliability problems... didnt lewis have reliability on his side in 2014 abu dhabi which cruelly put rosberg out of the championship ? winning 8 races and some of his performances this year have been outstanding.

 

[muon]

I guess they checked the tyre for a puncture.

 

[Glaucus]

Is that it. 5seconds.
If it hadn't been red flagged, that would mean he still gained about 18seconds after penalty applied.

Spin much? Up until then Hamilton was down on a reliability tally and still went into that with a large points lead.

This race is rubbish.

 

[el_dazza]

Here we go again.

Whoever wins ******* wins.

 

[Mr Jack]

The modern tendency to avoid racing in the wet has become a self fulfilling prophecy. The cars and tyres aren't suited to it. Bring back proper wet tyres and build the cars with suspension that jacks up a notch when needed so they can run in the rain.
