United States Grand Prix 2013, Austin - Race 18/19

Its the fans problem and tv presenters. F1 is complicated and there's nothing you can do to realistically simplify it.
Even though sky presenters went over the rules, people ignored that and picked up on a comment by one single presenter and ran with that. Even though they discussed the rules and showed the FIA letter long enough for everyone to read.

Ah the rules, can they run outside the track confines this race?

Only on one corner.

The rule being discussed however is being followed by all parties, just because other rules arent enforced. Doesnt mean that applies to all rules.

no news from ham so hopefully fixed.

Jesus you are dense. We know what the rules say, we know what RBR and Marussia did is fine, what we are saying is that the rules need reviewing or the aim of the rules does.

Nobody did anything wrong, but in my opinion being allowed to fully strip and rebuild a gearbox that should be sealed is a contradiction in the rules.

And for gods sake spell check.

 

[Glaucus]

Thats not what you guys said is it.
Broken the spirit of the rules.m. No they didn't. So no, its no dense. First you didn't even now what the rules were, you then said they broke the spirit.
You had no clue what could and couldn't be done and under which circumstances.

Lol sutil.

 

[utajoker]

finally a good start from hamilton.

 

[drunkenmaster]

Why is Webber even in F1, seriously.

Rosberg taking a bit of wing off, Perez or Button, and Sutil with a big badda boom.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Webber would need 3 empty slots around him on the front of the grid to still be in front at turn 1

[Flibster]

How the hell did sutil splat there?

 

[Skeeter]

Wow this director sucks. 2 lots of 3 abreast down the straight and he chooses to follow the leader

 

[smr]

Oooh safety car

 

[Glaucus]

His gf, i would.

 

[gilchrd]

Hooray a SC, keeps vettel within sight, for a while.

 

[Danthus]

Sutil moves over, Sutil meets the wall.

Your confusing 2 people's posts. I never said spirit of the rules, and I know very well what the rules say thank you.

 

[Danthus]

His gf, i would.

He will be, sooner than he thought.

I suspect due to keyboard warrioring the screen is smashed on the iPad.

Bet he's glad WEC use rolling starts.

Sutil moving left with miles and miles of track on his right, his fault. He's been pretty crap outside of a few early good races.

Hamilton getting a good position then safety car isn't bad for him though this shouldn't be too long.

Hamilton has been brilliant off the grid for the past 3 races but been screwed positionally into the first corner each time which has ruined it for him. This one he had a good start, was on the outside for the corner and the guy ahead of him had a good start so didn't hold him up, that's the difference this time.
