Ajay Fernando 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 Almost forgot , what a lap from Lewis. !!!!!!!! He had to beat the lap record to steal the pole from nico and he does it in style. Amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Unknown? 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 His car is OK in FP, sys Kvyat, but suddenly goes much slower (than DR's) during qualifying. He has no explanation of the "phenomenon". Call me a conspirator but I wouldn't be surprised if Red Bull deliberately slow DK a little bit, make him look ordinary so they can justifiably give him the boot at the end of the season to replace him with MV..

Emmcee 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 Serious, all he ever does is talk about Lewis, writes a quick paragraph on why Lewis is so great and bails. Doesn't answer any posts re guarding anything else but as soon as Hamilton pops up, he is all over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 Track 30 deg C, air 23 - Live Timing, 20 min to go. Start began 10 min ago. Prediction - Rosberg will try to move across to block Seb, and letting Kimi through. Kimi leads, Seb fourth, being delayed by Rosberg. 1st lap Kimi Hamilton Rosberg Seb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 Wow 1st lap Seb out on formation lap Hamilton hit by Bottas DR hits Bottas. Perez and Sainz together Kimi in reverse. Race really started lively. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 Live Timing commentary is totally out of synch with timing data. Initially, they listed leading drivers having Kimi left out, describing who is where, yet table shows totally different stuff - and I am paying for that good money?

Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 Drivers of the race: Rosberg and Vandoorne. Team: McLaren Conspiracy in making: RBR is sabotaging Kvyat. Big offender: FOM, because after a year of trying they could do better, but IT guys - weakest on the planet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmcee 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 I didn't watch it but it seems raikkonen did well and so did Ricciardo once again, surprising with redbull pace. What's this conspiracy with kvyat? It's what the second race in and your thinking that? What about people who were saying that for years about mark webber? Second race in and conspiracy thoughts for kvyat but it can't be concidered on any occasion for mark webber. Sorry if Iam jumping to conclusions but this is what most people think.

Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 Webber never beat Vettel in November. Kvyat ended up ahead of DR last year, and now he forgot how to drive, just as Vettel forgot to drive in 2014? Rumor has it, MV is free to walk if he is not promoted for 2017. Kvyat has to be a fall guy then. Optics are there, true or false - we do not know at the moment.

Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 3, 2016 This is painful for me. Driver’s Championship: Nico Rosberg – 50 Lewis Hamilton – 33 Daniel Ricciardo – 24 Kimi Raikkonen – 18 Romain Grosjean – 18 Sebastian Vettel – 15 Amusing story - neither Alonso or Button have a single point yet this year, yet Vandoorne, on his first outing, scored 1. That's how cookie crumbles sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2016 You sound disappointed, that much I can deduce knowing you on here in this short space of time... Next race will be better Thanks for thumbs up, but reality is grey at the moment. Leaking information suggests, that Ferrari has issues with turbo over winter already, and to-date its one for one, which really implies, that problems weren't solved, and might not be for next race either. On the top of it, Seb, according to some reports, had pit related issues whole weekend. I am not complaining, but rather realizing that Ferrari has quite a few -- basic -- operational issues as well. Dream of beating Merc hasn't disappeared, but my confidence is shaken, and not too steady. This is not how you win usually championships when margins are narrow.

Kvyat has to be a fall guy then. Optics are there, true or false - we do not know at the moment. what's happening to Kvyat doesn't look right, has anyone here got the top speeds for each driver? that would be an interesting start, it might be that he suddenly forgot how to drive (which is possible, there're only human and as such they can lose their focus) or we have to start thinking that Verstappen is desperatly wanted at RBR. The fact that they openly say that Kvyat might go to STR rather than being dropped altogether seems odd, if he's good he should stay where he is, if he's not very good I'm sure they would have plenty of young hopefuls willing to filling Verstappen's vacancy at Toro Rosso Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
