Malaysian Grand Prix 2011, Sepang International Circuit - Race 2/19

Crazy start for the renaults

 

[drunkenmaster]

Jesus, bad previous corner and Kobyashi's kers just, well, raped Webber. I thought he had no chance as he got too close and had to back off at the apex into that straight, but just, wow.

 

[dannyjo22]

Come on hamilton, he should have passed Heidfeld by now.

 

[knip]

Can they fix the KERS from the pit lane remotely, or once its dead, its dead?

 

[Garido]

I gotta hand it to Webber. Staying out there with a faulty car. Amazing how people are stupid enough to say he "sucks balls". There's a reason why many feel he's a very unlucky driver.

 

[dannyjo22]

That will end in tears.

 

[Mike_P]

What a joke, now imagine if Vettels Kers breaks.

If anyones KERS breaks they're in trouble, wouldn't be upset to se Vettel's go though lol.

 

[cravin penut]

Hamilton needs to pass, hurting his chances now.

 

[Glaucus]

Yes but it's fake gay overtaking not at all interesting or worthy of the sport.

I think they said they can see the problem but can't do anything about it.

 

[drunkenmaster]

I'm not so sure, you don't often see two team-mates taking the exact same risky route through the first corner, I think they might of looked at the different tactics the leaders usually take and planned it out.

If they did then well done Renault because they surprised everybody there, even if they nearly took each other out...

Well remember people who jump down the outside often get caught by the line of traffic turning into the next corner, but they managed to get just high enough up the grid AND because the other guys all went very tight into the corner, if the guys ahead had gone wide, they could both have been pushed very far down.

The front 4 normally spread out more than they did, 9/10 times I'd expect the front 4 to be spread wider, renaults to get caught on the outside and other people to dive up the inside.

 

[dannyjo22]

Look at the marbles already!

Almost certainly dead. They had to change the batteries after quail as they died on the in lap. Sounds like the same has happened again.

Judging by the Kobi on the straights and Webber in the corners, next season should be you can have Kers, OR a flexi wing, that would be awesome, two cars overtaking each other 3-4 times a lap all race

Agreed, this is showing it takes 150bhp difference for a Sauber to pass a Red Bull in a straight line with the red bull unable to respond because of no kers and DRS.

 

[cravin penut]

Sweet, rain is on its way.

 

[Masterdog]

Aye, this race needs a bit of rain. Note I said a BIT of rain, Mr Rain God.

 

[Flibster]

Anyone elses live timing on a go slow?

Mine is still showing lap 8....

 

[NathanE]

Almost certainly dead. They had to change the batteries after quail as they died on the in lap. Sounds like the same has happened again.

Except for that time in Singapore where Hamilton had to do a manual reboot of his KERS via the steering wheel. Sub menu after sub menu

 

[cravin penut]

Have they added a stripe to the soft tyres for this race, dont remeber them in aus
