Looks like the reds are fast .
Looks like all are having trouble with high pressures required for the tires .
Looks like qually could be wet .

Looks like we don't really need that new qually system to mix things up for Sunday .

Looks like this could be fun to watch .

Yes , looks like we may have a race tomorrow .May is the operative word there. If Nico (starting on the soft) holds p1 at the start he is likely to build up a lead, once once the Ferrari's, and Danny Boy come in to pit and fall behind others down the grid that started on soft. Should be great action throughout the field though, and bad things could happen to Nico. I will enjoy seeing how Bossy-Bear ;) comes through the field. :dork:

I cant see him using super soft at the start. Given they seem almost useless here. Lasting a few laps. What do you reckon? The soft tyres to attack while running a decent stint, or the harder tyre to go massively long knowing he has pace on the first 10 cars he needs to pass?

Tazio
16th April 2016, 20:42
:stareup: I'm hoping he goes with the medium to start, However I think soft will be the choice, and then plays it by ear. He could really use a well placed safety car!

Baring any mechanical mishaps,´Hamilton will finish on the podium,. Merc has been sandbagging since day one, Rosberg's pole lap proved that. He completely messed up the first sector, but still finished half a second up on everybody. With a safety car he could even win it.

Ironic, really, that just as soon as we finally dump Bernie's daft "let's mix up the grid" qualifying demands, we have the defending champion starting at the back of the grid because of electrical issues...

In unrelated news, Mercedes are said to be looking for somebody described as a "short, white haired old man" seen sneaking out from the Mercedes garage in the early hours of the morning holding what appeared to be a spark plug.

I don't think it's the Pirellis when Rosberg has only made one stop so far in the same tyres. Probably a combination of aggressive driving (since he needs to overtake) and being forced to try different things.

By the look of things, Ham may need to stop again. The Merc under Hammy just lacks the pace to pass the williams, even with DRS. Those tyres are shot already, l think.

That would put Rosberg at least one race win ahead of Hamilton. Lewis has it all to do now.

What a calm race by Rosberg, untroubled and kind of like a drive to the shops really. The race once again was in the pack behind the race leader. We are yet to see some real dice at the sharp end so far, but the midfield has definitely made the difference.

The Redbull really surprised all. A Redbull on the podium suggest that they have turned a corner. Ferrari would start to be slightly worried to see such a resurgence by Redbull. Interesting that Redbull is doing so well with an engine they castigated strongly the last few years.

Lot of hot air from Vettel.

Kvyat did exactly what he's supposed to do, if someone leaves over a car width of space on the inside of the firs corner, there will be a car in it. It's just a racing incident,( like the one with Hamilton and Bottas last race should have been judged) Vettel could have backed of when he ran wide, or Räikkönen could have stayed left and nothing would have happened.

onemanband
17th April 2016, 14:01
Vettel is overreacting a bit but I think he has every right to be frustrated altough probably not angry with Daniil. Kvyat was not aware of Räikkönen and Räikkönen was not aware of Kvyat and Vettel just got sandwiched between them. Vettel's arguments make no sense when you look at the aerial shot but his onboard is better in that sense.

In conclusion I think it is a racing accident. A bit risky by Kvyat but would have been safe if Räikkönen had not been there or stayed on the outside.

dj_bytedisaster
17th April 2016, 14:14
Kvyat's move was a typical case of 'I don't care if you die' move. It's the sort of mindless driving introduced by Senna. Force the opponent to choose; Back off or crash.

What was mainly overlooked though, Räikkönen actually started to loose the backend before Vettel hit him. Basically Kvyat forced him to the ouside and then Kimi spun into his path, he had nowhere to go,

Here's what Vettel and Kvyat said before the ceremony:

Vettel: "I have to ask, what did you do at the start? If I hadn't gone left you would hit me and we would all be out."

Kvyat: "well..."

Vettel: "not well. You came in there like a torpedo"

Kvyat; "That's racing."

Vettel: "If I stay on my line, there's an accident."

Kvyat: "Then don't stay on your line..."

Sounds like Kvyat has a mightily weak argument there. Thing is, those things stay in the heads of people.

Vettel got a taste of his own medicine and didn't like it. The Kyvat pass was legitimate and not as dangerous as Vettel makes it out to be. It certainly was not in the league of Bottas on Hamilton in Bahrain.

Vettel left the door wide open, it is expected that someone would dive in there . The conversation between them does not indicate guilt or acceptance or error. Every racer commentator accepted that Kyvat made the right move. The problem with vettel was he did not know which side of the track to cover to avoid being overtaken at the corner. If he covered off Kyvat on the right, a Williams would have taken him on the left. It is pure racing as we like to see it.

'Taste of his own medicine' implies he has done that himself, which I seem to be unable to remember, It was a brain-dead move. Kvyat carried way too much speed and relied on others to get out of the way to avoid the inevitable crash. By proxy he ruined Lewis' race too.

Bagwan
17th April 2016, 16:15
Looks like I was right . It was a good race .

Kvyat went for the gap , as Bottas did last race , and , as Hamilton should have done last outing , Seb moved wide to avoid contact .
Kimi would not have known Daniil was there , and would have expected Seb to be much tighter , and thus would have been expecting to leave room for one car inside .
If dj is correct , and Kimi was losing the back end slightly (I haven't watched it again) , then that also would have contributed to it being a faster closing gap for Seb than he could have expected , making it pretty impossible to stay in between .


Three cars were looking to occupy a two car space , and you can't blame any of them for wanting to take one of them . They were all looking to come out of the corner first .

A bit boring at the front as a result , but it set up some epic drives .

Nice to think about what might have happened , had that ruckus not occurred .
The speeds shown in the race looked to have the Bulls in the mix at the front , as well as the reds .
And , Nico might have been 37 seconds down the road , but nobody was lapped .

Now that qually is sorted , it looks like a good season ahead , doesn't it ?

It's surprising to see so many Vettel fans disagree with Seb on this one. I think he went too wide, left the door open and will probably change his own mind once he sees the replay. He had an amazing recovery drive though, my driver of the race.

Duncan
17th April 2016, 18:54
Also surprised not to see a penalty for Kimi for the first corner incident. Doesn't he have an obligation to reenter the track safely once all four wheels are off? His re-entry to the track required Nasr to take radical evasive action and crash into Lewis...

Apparently Grosjean was about a bit unhappy about Marcus Eriksson removing Grosjean's front wing. ME though thought the Grosie should calm himself
down and make some reflections regarding the matter that Grosie is the one of the two that have served a suspension for dangerous driving.

Kimi was not off the track, just off line. I also think that Kvyat was right to make that move. Kimi just suffered the most, other than that, it was a racing thing and that is what racing should be like, close. Not that I hope for any hits. If the cars would have a bit snaller wings and steel arms, we could see closer racing without bits flying from every small contact.

Kimi most certainly was off track - I just watched the replay again before posting my comment. I'm not talking about the incident with Kvyat, I'm talking about what happened after that.

Kimi and Vettel came together in the incident with Kvyat. Kimi went of track as a result of that. At that point, being off-track, Kimi has a requirement to re-enter the racing surface safely, but he didn't make any attempt to do that. He just went barreling back onto the track into a pack of cars, resulting in Nasr having to take radical avoiding action and collecting Hamilton. Kimi had no right to any part of the track at that point, but took it anyway, resulting in the collision that ruined Hamilton's race.

airshifter
18th April 2016, 00:02
Kimi did come back on track without much regard, but Nasr went way radical in the swerve too. I think that contact could have easily been avoided.

As for Kvyat, the gap was there and he drifted a little wide. Seb was in the middle and Kimi was already a little loose. Racing incident IMO, and good racing by Kvyat. That inside move was used by many through the race, and they pushed people outside the same way.



Quite the strange few opening laps. Good recovery by a lot of cars that were involved in the carnage, including both Ferrari's and Ricciardo as well. A lot of really clean racing after the initial crazy laps calmed down. I can't say I blame them for the safety car with all that carbon fiber out there.

Good thinking on Seb's part to squeak past those cars on the pit in, and I'm glad the penalty for slow pit entry was given.

18th April 2016, 02:01
Kvyat was in so hot he was going to hit somebody. If Vet didn't hit Raik, Kvyat would have gone into Raik anyway. Check the replays and see where Kvyat ended up, on the outside of the corner.

According to the team, the problem was that Lewis had lost so much downforce that the car just ate the tyres up in no time. It wasn't as much a problem of being behind other cars as that they can't nurse the tyres if aero isn't working.

This shows another problem with F1. If aero is that sensitive then its hopeless if you start in the pack. Cos contact is likely. Maybe another reason all the tiny aero bits are a bad idea.

In the latter part of the race Lewis tried some block/outbreak passes on other drivers. I Think he flatspotted his left fron tire.

As for Kvyat, the gap was there and he drifted a little wide. Seb was in the middle and Kimi was already a little loose. Racing incident IMO, and good racing by Kvyat. That inside move was used by many through the race, and they pushed people outside the same way. And the people have spoken.
Red Bull's Daniil Kvyat has been voted 'Driver of the Day' of the Chinese Grand Prix.

Kind of an in your face Seb', although a good argument could be made for Vettel to be DotD!

Kvyat's move was a typical case of 'I don't care if you die' move. It's the sort of mindless driving introduced by Senna. Force the opponent to choose; Back off or crash. ,
You should watch suzuka 2011 start for example and see what bieber did at the start there. Back off or crash indeed.



What was mainly overlooked though, Räikkönen actually started to loose the backend before Vettel hit him. Basically Kvyat forced him to the ouside and then Kimi spun into his path, he had nowhere to go,
Christ. That's a first. Look at the replay again. Kimi had total control of his car. It was bieber who was unable to accept that there was no room for him and who couldn't read the situation. Just like Brundle said, bieber was driving into a wedge. But you keep being blind and dumb.


Here's what Vettel and Kvyat said before the ceremony:

Vettel: "I have to ask, what did you do at the start? If I hadn't gone left you would hit me and we would all be out."

Kvyat: "well..."

Vettel: "not well. You came in there like a torpedo"

Kvyat; "That's racing."

Vettel: "If I stay on my line, there's an accident."

Kvyat: "Then don't stay on your line..."

Sounds like Kvyat has a mightily weak argument there. Thing is, those things stay in the heads of people. Sounds like you have been drinking booze again.
Vettel has done his share of agressive moves based only on the other guy backing down.


'Taste of his own medicine' implies he has done that himself, which I seem to be unable to remember, It was a brain-dead move. Kvyat carried way too much speed and relied on others to get out of the way to avoid the inevitable crash. By proxy he ruined Lewis' race too.
You look at the start of last years Melbourne GP and what bieber did to his own teammate. Kimi then too had the option to back down or crash into his teammate. He was mature and good enough to avoid crashing into his teammate. Sadly, bieber is not that talented.

Garry used to provide plenty of laughs here. He's blunt, straight to the point and used to wind people up who take F1 too seriously lol.

You used to ask where he was a lot in threads, so it's surprising to see you've changed your tune ;)

The only thing said person is capable of doing, is flooding the forum with "Vettel (sorry, Bieber) sucks."

The most irrepairable bias I have ever encountered. Nothing to see here, time to move on.

What about ioan? He was terrible for bias but long gone now. I wonder if he froze to death in the Alps when his Renault Espace broke down? We'll never know.

Funny, I put a fanboy in his place - he has no comeback, no response to what I posted. Fanboy drivel destroyed again.


I bet he's not on your ignore list. You love seeing what he's written too much lol.
With him being a bit of a cuckold, of course he enjoys the constant destroying he gets from me - I am sure he reads my posts. But he says I am on his ignore list when he has nothing of substance to reply to my posts.

I used to be a Vettel doubter, but I have had to admit he has great craft! I'm not in love with the guy or anything, but he is consistently fast. He deserves credit for that!
