Quiet One 15 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 Half the race left, and they investigate it after the race? Why on Earth! My sentiments, exactly. Mostly because there isn't much to it. Either Schumi was at least reckless. All they have to do is decide whether that was enough to warant a punishment or not. That's exactly the sort of situation that should be dealt during the race.

Ikyrotz 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 Great win for Jenson, McLaren is clearly the fastest car there. Vettel drove very well as well. Too bad about Kimi's first set of tires, would've been nice to see if he could've taken the fight closer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Massa 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 1. I'll get my TV whining out of the way. Director wasn't on it today, and please, please, please SPEED Channel, I implore you to never use a quarter of the screen to show me what NASCAR drivers are tweeting about the F1 race. If I wanted to know, I'd follow them on Twitter. Cheers. 2. Maldonado did not jump the start. The lights were out when he started moving. I think he made a mistake, and thought he jumped the start, but he actually timed his mistake perfectly and did not jump it. 3. How is Grosjean not being investigated? 4. Sort of makes a case for the closed c#ckpit stuff the FIA's been advocating. That could have been so, so bad. 5. Räikkönen...what a move. That was really cool. 6. I said after Alonso's crash that if Massa doesn't score with three guys ahead of him wrecking, his teammate included, he should be fired on the spot. Thankfully, he scored. 7. Vettel's overtaking was just perfect today. He made a lot of good passes and is positioning himself for the title again. 7. Perfect race from Button. I can't ever recall a one-stopper from pole in my time viewing, though there were a few "lost episodes" over the years. I'd have preferred some softer tires in this one, a little more wear, but, hey. Glad F1's back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabradoRacer 2 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 Good show by Hulkenberg. Jenson drove superbly for a win, though he's not going to win this year's WDC. Vettel drove very well to bite a chunk out of Alono's lead. I don't want either to win this year's WDC, but if you hold a gun to my head to choose between the two, I'd go with the former. Massa was quite out of character today by finishing 5th. Going by Webber's showing today, it seems unlikely he'll win this year's WDC. Schumi got the max out of his car, I believe. Hope he isn't penalised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LabradoRacer 2 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 Good as Kimi's move on Schumi was, was it when Schumi lost his 6th gear? He slowed down a lot during the move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he made a mistake, and thought he jumped the start, but he actually timed his mistake perfectly and did not jump it. I am not sure about that. At the very moment lights went out, he moved sideways to go around the car ahead of him. This implies we was already moving before that. It would be nice to see the cars from the top with the lights to see how it really went. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assumed Räikkönen got a burst (maybe KERS), didn't realize I was being deceived by Schumacher slowing. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quiet One 15 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 Yeah yeah yeah, whatever. All this was obviously made to benefit Vergne. Don't you think it was funny that ecerything was made to ensure Romain and Hamilton starting together? What a farce! I do not consider F1 a sport anymore, ya hear me? They all should be punished except Alonso. Button for excess whinning and then winning. That is confusing for us non English speakers. Vettel, because he said last race "somebody do something!" and then Romain did. If that is no team orders then I'm Jessica Rabbit. What? That they are not in the same team? Please quote chapter and verse of the regulations where it states that orders are illegal ONLY WHEN THEY COME FROM THE SAME TEAM. I'll be waiting. Kimi for not winning and doing a better overtaking move at Eau Rouge than Webber vs Alonso last year and disproving TF1's James and his claims that he was out of contention unlike Hamilton. Go back to Dirt racing, you sour faced drunkard! Schumi, for reckless driving, enough to ruin his own race but not enough to ruin Vettel's. Talk about incompetency. These rookies...tsk tsk... - Massa for doing his best race and still look mediocre. - Webber...damn, I like the guy. But still to the bonfire with him. - Romain, because he should be investigated by Hercules Poirot, rather than the stewards. I do not think "attempted murder" is considered a breach of the regulations, though. - Di Resta, because he is British which means that everybody keeps talking about the guy despite proving again and again that he is mediocre at least compared against Hulk, whihc is clearly better without being earth shattering himself. - Maldonado and Hamilton, just cause. Even when we do not know exactly what they did wrong they DO know. Kille them. End of story. - All the rest can go to hell as well. - No, not Glock and Pic and Pic and Glock. That was fun. Otherwise the race would have been a boring processional ace *yawn* *zzzz* *snort* *cough wheeze* There. FFS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ikyrotz 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 Good as Kimi's move on Schumi was, was it when Schumi lost his 6th gear? He slowed down a lot during the move. Maybe, but I doubt it, since he was able to keep Hulkenberg behind him for quite a while yet. I think Kimi had planned the whole thing the previous lap when he wasn't able to make his pass stick. Did Michael mention the gear problem before his last stop or after it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Quiet One 15 Report post Posted September 2, 2012 Oh, and one more thing: DAMN YOU STEWARDS YOU WERE UNABLE TO HANDLE OUT A SINGLE DAMN PENALISATION BEFORE THE END OF THE RACE WITH HALF THE GRID UNDER INVESTIGATION! That means that for the next 24 hours the safest way to look at the final standings is to read the finishing standings from bottom up. That's it. I have never seen anything like this in my whole life of watching F1 and for the record I've been following it since the Wright brothers won the first race at Kitty Hawk, barely beating the Montgolfier brothers. And never, EVER witnessed something as ludicrous as this race. FFS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
