Rosberg spun, vettel out

drunkenmaster · 2 Oct 2016 at 08:05

hehe, brilliant start for Hamilton, literally as good as it can get.

Not sure whose fault really. I mean Vettel clipped Rosberg but was that Rosberg not giving any space because where could he go?

Was just going to say I can't actually see where Rosberg is, then they said 21st. lol.

Vettel has hit a LOT of people this year, I think maybe it was fairly obvious Vettel couldn't get Rosberg there and went for a gap that wasn't really there.

Hahahaha

wow, silly move by vettel.

Skillmister · 2 Oct 2016 at 08:05

Nice one Vettel! What a strange start

MattU · 2 Oct 2016 at 08:05

Perfect

Bazzards · 2 Oct 2016 at 08:05

excellent

Flibster · 2 Oct 2016 at 08:06

Renault's on fire?
Magnussen I think.

Aaaaah.. Broken front wing stuck underneath.

Didn't verstappen do exactly what he complained vettel did to him? Thought Vettel was perfectly entitled to be there.

Junglist · 2 Oct 2016 at 08:09

C'mon, give me a good weekend. Great start, even better start thanks to vettel

CSMonkeh · 2 Oct 2016 at 08:10

Massive overtake by Verstappen before VSC, round the outside!

Skillmister · 2 Oct 2016 at 08:10

Looking at Rosberg's onboard there's well over a cars width between him and the apex, think Vettel just went a bit too deep into what was always going to be a closing gap.

Difference is Vettel went in after braking too late and was too fast and then hit Rosberg. Verstappen and Rosberg were happy making that corner. Vettel went in too late and too fast and caused a major issue.

This is a track Rosberg can easily pass a LOT of people, though I'm surprised he didn't pit to try a different strategy considering less penalty for pitting under VSC, could have saved 5-10 seconds. Can see Rosberg getting into 4th-5th depending on strategy. Depends how good Perez and others are here though.

No, Max didn't take out those on the outside of him at Spa, IIRC.

Verstappen locked up and hit the back of vettel which then caused him to hit Rosberg.

I'm pretty sure Verstappen jumped on the brakes to avoid Vettel who wasn't able to keep to his inside line because he was too fast there.

Massa puncture.

Never rains....

drunkenmaster · 2 Oct 2016 at 08:15

Massa's race goes from bad to worse. Going nowhere today he is, no where at all.

Flibster · 2 Oct 2016 at 08:15

Massa not having a good day. Now got a puncture.

Starting from the pitlane after car won't go anywhere on the parade lap. Pitting end of lap 1 for hard tyres...

SS-89 · 2 Oct 2016 at 08:17

Poor Massa, ah well not much you can do. One of those days.
