OMG! if they are going to do all this it should have been before qualy

Nismo · 16 Apr 2016 at 08:17

This is ridiculous. It was driver error and lack of experience FFS!

Did the FIA need to find another way to **** up qualifying?

Skeeter · 16 Apr 2016 at 08:19

Do be do.

Matteh · 16 Apr 2016 at 08:20

This is really, really stupid...

Anyway, did I hear when I first switched on that Hamilton is having issues with power loss?

Nick1881 · 16 Apr 2016 at 08:21

Can't believe I got up for this, just get on with it already!

Freakbro · 16 Apr 2016 at 08:21

I don't see the point of clearing up a puddle when it's only going to rain again

Skeeter · 16 Apr 2016 at 08:24

We'll that's much dryer. Well worth the massive delay...

Or not.

He just came on the radio saying he had an issue with the power unit, the commentators then speculated if it was going to be similar to Rosbergs ignition gremlin that was cured with a software tweak

Thanks.

Back underway at last... how very worthwhile.

Nismo · 16 Apr 2016 at 08:34

Marshall's parked a truck at pit entrance! And all just stood around it.

It's clown hour!

Matteh · 16 Apr 2016 at 08:36

Sounds like Hamiltons weekend is getting worse - no hybrid power.

Skeeter · 16 Apr 2016 at 08:37

Sky already writing the "Rosberg has clearly upped his game and is now driving better than Hamilton" rubbish...

Oh well, the 5 place grid drop won't make much difference when he starts at the back anyway

Skeeter · 16 Apr 2016 at 08:38

The sensible thing to do is change everything and start from the pits with lower downforce and a belly full of Weatabix!

I think Rosberg will walk this championship. Might put a punt on him.

Ha, true! Not sure if that's the kind of silver lining they'd have been hoping for though

hopefully be good for the race tomorrow though to see him coming through the field.

Don't understand why the commentators make such a big deal of it, like his championship challenge is nearly over. It's race 3, Rosberg will likely not finish one race and he is only a couple of wins ahead...

Does it carry over to next race since he didn't even qualify and it can't be applied?

No. They dropped that rule.

Freakbro · 16 Apr 2016 at 08:42

No idea Bayo

Edit : ahh, nice one skeeter

I'm tempted to take this bet too. Win win situation. Hamilton wins WDC I'll be happy. Rosberg wins and I'll make money
