Russian Grand Prix 2015, Sochi - Race 15/19

Mercedes only need 3 points on Ferrari to clinch the WCC, funny how similar this year is compared to last. Three wins, to one driver from one other team - WCC probably going to be clinched at the same race.

I want Vettel to win another race solely for Arrivabene to climb the hills of Maranello... with a twist

- I think this year might be over for Ferrari though, nothing left is particularly challenging or difficult, or with extreme heat.

I'm interested in whether Russia could be as boring as Suzuka, and I'm surprised I'm saying that.

FP1 delayed because of a 'significant amount of diesel leaked onto the track'

Where the hell did that come from?

Apparently a 'support vehicle' - The 30 minute delay is cutting into actual FP1 time though, due to support races I'd imagine.

Edit: DC thinks otherwise:

Why are they using water? that won't work very well.

Apparently it's hydraulic fluid not diesel, lol. Either way it shouldn't really happen.

Edit: Alonso really annoys me, but at least Manor have a sense of humour:

Sick burn by Manor

The pinnacle of motorsport, a diesel soaked mess of no grip and dust. :cool:

People saying the GP3 practice just went ahead in near darkness, anyone see it? (no pun intended)

It was scheduled to start 5 and a half hours ago.

Saw a picture of it on twitter, assuming it wasn't processed to make it look worse than it actually was it's a poor show from the FIA. But considering that it's just a single picture and no-one else is talking about it I'm not buying it at the moment.

Hey sergie, drive truck to clear track, don't forget to wash in deisel.
Now rinse with water sergie.
Perfect.

Judging by the lack of posts on here, I'm guessing nothing interesting happened in FP2? I fell asleep.

MrKnifey · 10 Oct 2015 at 07:57

I don't get you guys on here anymore, if you don't want to watch it or your not interested why oh why waste your time coming in here to moan about it so much?

Joe! · 10 Oct 2015 at 08:22

If you're a fan of Formula 1 you're free to complain a boring race imo, it's like a football fan complaining about a boring match

Sochi, as a track, gets the benefit of the doubt from me due to last year's tyre choice.
