I said it after it happened, and he was ok...

then i hope vettel gets a puncture and eveybody is ok...





hamilton up to 14th, hopefully good points to be had.

Well you just know that Pirelli will place the blame squarely on the drivers fault, it is obviously nothing to do with their shoddy build quality.

There's too much damage being done for it to be a coincidence.. In fact, if Vettel's rear left was also badly damaged, then it could prove very telling as to what the problem is..

Personally, Pirelli seriously brought the wrong tyres this time..

Edit: Okay, so just heard the redbull radio that Vettel's tyre was 'cut', then I guess Pirelli are slightly off the hook.

I hope Pirelli get slated in the media tomorrow. They have been telling lies all year. We have never had this many punctures with any other tyre manufacturer.

So what is the reason given for the SC?

This could potentially be exceptionally dangerous, if the main carcass had hit kimi that could have taken him out. He was lucky it was only a small piece.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Issue they've got here is they haven't ran these tyres at this track temperature here.

They had no problems on Saturday, temps must be the issue I'd have thought.

The track is covered in ****

Exactly. I don't want him injured, I just want him out of the race.

 

[Glaucus]

Pirelli all over those tyres.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

pirelli will blame the kurbs, world will blame them

Yup. Haven't had problems with the kerbs before.

 

[.:MBK:.]

debris i guess

Nice weak tyres from Pirelli, ruining races. Hopefully they sort themselves out, or GTFO and let a decent company in to do a better job.

Oh do shut up. Yeah it's much better to start bleating another easy win for vettel like bitter people. I didn't celebrate anything or wish failures on anyone, I'm just not blinkered to think it changed anything or go all princess stampy foot saying 'Vettel lucks in to another easy win'.

Oh please don't. As if in the history of F1 the underdog has never won. Vettel was probably the favourite but it was or is far from a foregone conclusion. Why bother watching if your so certain?

It reminds me of Indianapolis when the Michelin tyres couldn't handle the high speed bank, seems like the high speed corners are just too much.

 

[Azza]

So 3 gone this early in the race... Wonder how many it will be before the end. Get your bets in now.

Some posters on this forum have very short memories. This certainly isn't the first race we've had with tyre failures all over the place.

Doesn't look great though I must admit.

But consistently getting failures at all circuits around the world, and getting 4 identical failures in one weekend?

Can't really remember that happening with a single tyre constructor.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

If the tyres are being cut they need to red flag the race and check the track.

Haven't Pirelli already seen a couple of similar failures in the GP series this weekend?

They have been telling lies all year.

I'm not convinced that's the case however I don't think Paul Hembery knows what's going on. Everytime he opens his mouth he just seems to be talking about an entirely different race.
