It can't be debris, what are the chances of 3 cars all having left rear blowouts?

Sweepers on circuit, this safety car is going to be looong

So looks like most teams are telling drivers to stay of kerbs especially in the high speed corners.

Needless to say this will magically get put through for the next race now!

Expect so.

Button was on the radio earlier saying he thought his tyres were very hot.

CaptainRAVE · 30 Jun 2013 at 13:39

I can't imagine this being good for Pirelli's tyre sales?

So, where do we go from here? They can't fix this problem before the next race surely, especially since current teams can't help them develop.

Well they had something in the works but it was vetoed. I'm sure they could build them, but how long to make several hundread.

Compare that to mine who said 'why do they weave around trying to warm the tyres up? It makes no difference..'

I can cook too, i'd make a good wife!

Adrian Newey keeps looking like he's about to cry!

Lucky Vettel. That tyre was a mess. Inside shoulder?

Assuming those tyres don't suffer from the same issue?

Jono8 · 30 Jun 2013 at 13:40

Well this is exciting..

utajoker · 30 Jun 2013 at 13:41

track sweepers in a race of their own.

we are losing laps here, they should just stop it and sort it out then restart it.

CaptainRAVE said:
Well we are only 18 laps in, so plenty more time for tyres to explode yet!

Don't worry about that. The safety car will probably stay out until the 51st lap. lol

F1 is not somewhere any car based company needs to be, there is nothing in it that can be transferred to the real world. Hence why the likes of Audi and nissan are keeping clear.
Problem with F1 is its over regulated, there is no area for development in a possible area which can be transferred to real life car application.

tell her to rub her hands together and see if it makes a difference

Then tell her to look up friction in the dictionary

Then again maybe an educated woman is a scary thing best send her back to the kitchen

CaptainRAVE · 30 Jun 2013 at 13:41

Vettel would be laughing if it finished like this. Don't think the drama is finished yet though...
