Oh shut up ted. Vettel was off the pace by a mile all race. And of course smedley is biased.

Ted's lost the plot today.

Hamilton pretty relaxed. As he should be, it makes no difference to him if he is DQ'd. He is still miles ahead and is absolutely dominating at the moment.

I think it would be pretty frustrating for him. It's the teams screwup and he drove a perfect race.

Indeed!

OMG SO UNSAFE - but we will let you run the whole race like it anyway and only bring it up at the end....

If it is truly a safety problem, should they not have dealt with it then and there?

This too - if they were that worried they should have black flagged the cars.

This interviewer.

Trying to make Hamilton angry at his team?

Wtf?

Kamerad · 6 Sep 2015 at 15:14

As usual people trying to create drama where there is none in what was an uneventful race.

I am sure all of his money and lifestyle will give him comfort

It would be crazy given the FIA didn't measure all tyres on all cars.

Sky gotta keep people watching to detract from what was a pretty boring monza race.

CaptainRAVE · 6 Sep 2015 at 15:16

What a stupid interviewer.

Glaucus · 6 Sep 2015 at 15:16

This is a painful interview. Sky just being *****

The sky team are just laughable.

Glaucus · 6 Sep 2015 at 15:18

In they go, now how long will they be in there for, that's the question.

CaptainRAVE · 6 Sep 2015 at 15:19

Sky try's endlessly to build drama where there is none/little.

If it is a Pirelli tyre gauge that was used then it is probably as unreliable as their tyres. That would be my argument

In there a while, most likely.

Rosberg's in a funny position. On one hand, he would love both cars to be DSQ to avoid the 25 point deficit he just gave away, but on the other hand he has to fight for the interest of the team.

I agree in all honesty even if a DQ would be funny.

God sky are dumb, they didn't push Lewis to get temperatures up. Different set of tyres.
They also have telemetry for tyre pressures for the whole race.

Unless they saw on the telemetry that this set were low on pressure and didn't want to give the FIA any more ammunition.

Well done Lewis...3 more to get

Merlin5 said:
Is that how it works out, 3 more wins and he's guaranteed the WDC?

deuse said:
Nope. Do\read your F1 history to find out

Or you could have just explained :rolleyes:

If that was the case, they would have done that from the start. Fia have access to telemetry if they want. It makes zero sense to run tyres under pressure you can't hide it.

The full tech rules that apply. Clear enough?

12.5.3 - If, in the interests of maintaining current levels of circuit safety, the FIA deems it necessary to reduce tyre grip, it shall introduce such rules as the tyre supplier may advise or, in the absence of advice which achieves the FIA's objectives, specify the maximum permissible contact areas for front and rear tyres.

Unfortunately, Technical Directives don't carry the same weight as Technical or Sporting regulations. They're also not published anywhere for people to see.
