Hilarious pre race analysis. Heres another joke: Lewis' rear tyre issues. Be careful who you poke fun at

Hamilton 1
Perez 2

You were saying?

On, and Hamilton 4th after dropping down to 24th
McLaren... 13th and 20th...

And I'm a McLaren fan... There is nothing positive about this year. Whitmarsh said they are now focussing on 2014.

Reprimand but no penalty apparently.

Flibster · 30 Jun 2013 at 17:22

FIA stewards have given Rosberg....

....

.......

A reprimand.

MissChief · 30 Jun 2013 at 17:23

Rosberg only reprimanded, no time, position or grid position loss given. From Jon Noble, Autosport F1 journo.

tyre issues?

a puncture out of his control?

Glad they didn't change the result. Really damages the sport when they do that.

I'd actually bother to write a counter point, but I don't see why I should bother putting the effort in if you can't even read my name...

As it is, I'll merely state that you're wrong.

Expect for the parts then can use this year.

They have no idea what direction to go.

On Sky earlier they mentioned it was to do with the air flow over the new pull rod front suspension.

It damages the sport when the follow the rules?

If he didn't slow, he didn't slow.

Well of course they gave Rosberg a reprimand, what else did people expect? it's not as though they could ban him from the young drivers test.

~Mike~ · 30 Jun 2013 at 17:55

Well that was an eventful race.

More bad luck for Lewis but at least he recovered to finish fourth and I'm pleased that the right German driver won the race.

When they change the result after the race. F1 has taken a lot of flak for it before, and lets be honest, the FIA have no set sanction system in place.

So Mr Gentle on tyres - has overcooked them.

Yet the tyre muncher and the tyre munching car is leading the race...

Lmao the wonders of hindsight never cease to amaze me.

Flibster · 30 Jun 2013 at 18:03

Pirelli still investigating failures, but have ruled out the new bonding process as the cause of failures.

Erm yeah I was pointing out that theres no humour involved with mclaren top 10 jokes is all... I already conceded on page 8 that this season's a write off and that I would be mighty impressed if we made it into q3.. we all know its a bloody awful car so why joke about it. Just seems pointless.

A kerb that has been there for years.

Given the varied failures we saw today, it's almost as if Hamilton's tyre failure wasn't solely down to his driving. Crazy thought I know.
