European Grand Prix 2012, Valencia - Race 8/20

You do realise you guys are all arguing about time differences that are smaller than the gap between pole and 2nd at almost every race last year

Button is also ahead of Schumacher, Massa, Alonso and Webber...

Always.

I'm watching the GP2 now.

Man those are some small rear wings they are running.

CaptainRAVE · 23 Jun 2012 at 16:26

Watching GP3

Think I will start watching these.

Edit: This is pretty good

Skeeter · 23 Jun 2012 at 16:46

Just watching the GP2 series demonstrate perfectly how completely retarded the safety car rules are. 3 additional laps under the SC for absolutely no good reason.

When did he do that? Didn't see it.

A bit harsh on Hammy, wish the stewards would cut him some slack!

Rosberg started his quick lap as Hamilton did so they were close.

Neither were on a quick lap but starting them. Can't see him getting a penalty.

There was an agreement/instruction not to slow down in the last section as it is deemed dangerous

CaptainRAVE · 23 Jun 2012 at 17:24

Doubt anything will come of it tbh.

Hmm. Can you be done for blocking someone when they are on there out lap?

Probably depends which driver was being blocked and doing the blocking.

To me it sounds more like Rosberg was just annoyed that he had to follow Hamilton closely for his last lap due to running out of time, rather than an outright claim that he blocked him.

Not really? Hopefully this is not more Lewis paranoia...if he has blocked someone then he will need to answer it.

"We were quick throughout but when I was just about to start my final lap, Lewis was slowing down in the last corner. I had to start my quick lap behind him which made it impossible to improve my time.

"We know it's tricky in the last sector here and there is an agreement in place to stop things like this happening so it's frustrating."

Ted posted the document saying not to slow down in that part of the track, if Lewis has ignored that then I don't see why it's anyone's fault but his own?
