First incident after 9 laps. They're behaving today.
Bianchi runs into the back of van de Garde at the chicane. Bianchi will need new front wing, vd Garde is probably out as rear wing is broken.

Oh dear, Sam Bird (back up to 10th from being last) just took out his team mate at the last corner and continues.
The team really should have moved Ericcson out of the way he'd been holding Bird up for 5 laps.
*ok while i was typing that, Ericcson got back past, then his rear wing collapsed at the chicane. Did well to catch the car sliding and not have a massive accident.
Bird and Ericcson now both out.

lets just prey that the f1 drivers don't mess about.
3m45s is my favourite.
The driver probably got very tired and just couldn't be bothered to turn the steering wheel any more.
I know that not all races are like this, but it almost seems as if as long as you finish, you stand a good chance of finishing on the podium as many drivers would end up getting tired and just ramming into the back of another car because their braking foot was tired.
Someone explain the thing that is going to get banned to me? The off throttle fuel mapping to aid slowing the car. How does that work then? So someone's foot is off throttle yet it's still chucking fuel in to generate exhaust gasses over the blown diffuser to aid downforce to aid braking? Something like that? Or totally wrong?
Soldato
I think that when the driver is not using the throttle the engine/ECU keeps running but on a mixture of a lot of air with very little fuel, this generates air coming out of the exhaust and if that is blown over a diffuser it would still generate extra downforce.
Is it going to be banned?
Or they merely setting up a meeting/hearing to investigate whether it should be banned?

How many GP2 cars made it to the finish?Great start for Tony Fernandes today. Team Air Asia wins for the first time in GP2 at Monaco. Lets hope the good news continues from here.

15 of 26. Valsecchi deserved the win though. Led from start to finish after Birds' terrible start, apart from pitstops obv. He was building a gap to Parente which got to about 10 seconds before the saftey car came out after the iSport drivers started getting stuck into each other.
So now the Torro Rosso's are in hamiltons way as well....

I read that yesterday. Just when I though he had turned a corner and was starting to grow up a bit he comes out with that tosh.

I wouldn't read too much into that report. It was originally a story in the Mirror by Byron Young, who for some reason ATM, seems to have it in for Hamilton.
Me too, although this was a pretty tame race by their standards. Should be more interesting tomorrow with the reversed grid and Max Chilton on pole. And by interesting, I mean accidents.LOL!
I love GP2

Because its the 'cool' thing to do to hate Hamilton. Just look at this forum.
Personally I've never liked him since he started in F1, terrible attitude towards competition.
