Both Maccas are in the points. :)
Question while the race goes on.
Why do less cars go into the walls these days?
1. Cause some walls have been moved?
2. Better standard of drivers than in the past?
3. Or are the cars easier to drive than in the past?
1 & 3: yes
13,14,15,16 have been changed this year.
Fred started on the primes !!
1, then 3. I don't know about the second point, though, as it's always difficult to compare.Quote:

Boss has brake issues, and getting reeled in! :eek:
I think so too. Even add in the surface is not as rough as in the past. All in all its easier for drivers these days.Quote:

F1 needs to get back to sprint rather than cruising.
Lewis in trouble :eek:
Vettel is closer to Rosberg, that's the more immediate threat.
The race is currently a 8.4 :)
Why, has anything at all happened after lap 1? :-/Quote:

Plus no one goes in the walls which lets be honest. around Monaco is key. Cause you end up with action and different point scorers.
As you can see it has dopped a full point from my lap 5 evaluation;)
They're probably trying to save the tyres from overheating and keeping a relatively low pace, so there's no need to push. If you push, you get too close to the car in front and cook your tyres.Quote:

Max's race is done!
Now that I've reviewed Alonso's accident with Huelkenberg, I just think that the penalty was ridiculous. Maybe the stewards are atoning for failing to penalize Sainz in Montmelo? :p
Vettel still in 3rd, waiting for an opportunity...
Kimi doesn't like the primes!
Last season we had a bit of chaos so Marussia could finish 9th.
None of that this year :(
Fred fed up
By the way, while Merhi is under investigation for crossing the pit lane exit line, he's 20 seconds in front of his teammate even though he had been held up by him for a long time at the beginning of the race.
and Taz is downned... :(
Come on Jensie!! :p:
Not really dawg, my expectations were already down ! ;)Quote:

Verstappen passes Bottas in the traffic. Good move :)
Did Sainz let him by or did the Spaniard just make a mistake? The guys in the Spanish TV thought that he let him on team orders, but I wouldn't trust them.Quote:

No penalty for Merhi - I wonder why? Stepping onto the pit lane line is a black-or-white sort of thing...
Sainz let Verstappen through.
Great effort by Verstappen hugging Vettel's behind. Great defense by Grosjean too.
Good battling, thats what we want.
What an idiot!!
Oh, Max. :(
What a waste...
