United States Grand Prix 2012, Austin - Race 19/20

[Flibster]

Poor stop for Raikkonen.

 

[Skeeter]

Ok.... They still don't know what is going on though.

They aren't always watching the TV feed.

 

[TaKeN]

Cmonnn Hamilton!

 

[~Mike~]

Jenson going well on these tyres, wonder how long they will last?

 

[mmj_uk]

Hamilton fastest lap on the new tyres already.

massa to take out vettel in the stops

 

[utajoker]

vettel altinator fail please!

 

[Flibster]

Alternator failure for Webber.

Interesting as this race is the return of the re-specced alternators from earlier in the year as opposed to the old stock they were using.

 

[Jono8]

Wow. Chocolate alternator strikes again.

 

[JRS]

Another bloody alternator failure at RBR. Time to sack off whoever is supplying those units.

Renault iirc.

Renault iirc.

Renault surely don't build their own?

They've been failing so much, I wouldn't be surprised if Lucas was involved....

 

[TaKeN]

Please please please fail Renault alternator of car number 1

 

[Skeeter]

They are Renault alternator's.

They have been using a 2011 spec since Monza. Renault claim they have fixed the issue so this is the first race since that they have been back on 2012 spec.

Someone at Renault is going to get an angry call from Horner.

...or an envelope full of Anthrax if Vettel's goes too

Renault seriously build the alternators themselves?

Time to go rooting through the AC Delco catalogue, and fit something halfway reliable.

stream is lagging behind

The 2011 spec Renault items seem fine. I don't really understand why RBR felt the need to switch back to the 2012 ones.

 

[utajoker]

glock doing an excellent job of getting in the way of both drivers.

 

[Jono8]

Glockenspiel being a nob
