massive crash from perez!
the right rear suspension looks to have broken on high speed and over the curbs
looks like the toe link
thankfully he is ok. but that was nasty
he was upside down
I doubt that this car will run again todayyou can't argue with results.

Was that rain I saw? Or did I see a picture of some other track....

Ricciado is on his 5th and last engine for the rest of the season. It is looking like Redbull would be needing at least another 2 engines for the rest of the season. Maybe they should just park the car until Brasil. The engine rule is looking very inequitable at the mo. It is looking like, the FIA giving Honda an extra engine may not suffice either. Red bull and p[ssible Mclaren may be due to getting engine penalties in the 2nd half of the season.

'Engine Penalties'... ... what will they think of next... chassis rations? Hmm sounds harsh, better employ a euphemism instead; 'participation insecurity'?

So let's see:
Definitely a role reversal from 2014 this year. Hamilton is the qualifying dude. If my calculations are correct, he can win the pole trophy at the next race?
Rosberg will be closer in the race, but unless anything happens, Ham should have this one.
Vettel again consistent, whatever the Ferrari is capable of, he certainly delivers it almost always.
This is a good day from Kimi, yet still only 5th... As much as I like him, someone else has to be driving that car next year. Hope he can shape up however.
McLaren are a disappointment! That podium is looking more like a pipe dream, they're just too far for any upgrades to get them that far up this year I think.SPAM - Going off topic to give you the deals you don't want.

A transformation project like the Mclaren-Honda one is a very painful exercise. Things have to get worst before it gets better. Reliability is preventing Mclaren from unleaching the true potential of the package. I think the Mclaren is not running at its full potential. Hence the perception of the Mclaren may be misleading and premature. Alonso can, which is why he bothered to push the car back to the pits when he broke down.
The Mclaren-Honda will come good, true Mclaren fans need to be patient and let the team sort out the unavoidable gremlins. Making a move like this to change engine manufacturers, is ballsy, especially to one that has no experience of the current FIA engine rules. Hence it was always going to be tough. But if any team can pull it off, Mclaren is definitely such a team. They have done it before and they shall do it again.
If it was easy, Redbull would have dumped the Renault engine for daimler or porsche or audi if they can be persuaded.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 25th July 2015 at 22:47.

When I go to WRC event, I want to see the best drivers as always. If I want to see some national drivers, I can go to some other less popular event.. Just simple.
