Lyria 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2016 So Hamilton will only start at least 6th with his gearbox penalty. If he makes another duff start from there he could end up in even more trouble. Looks like things really aren't going his way so far this season for a change. Well, at last you see the light, Lyria. Oh I still like him and follow him on twitter (not that he tweets much) but sometimes he does have too much to say these days it seems to me. I sort of want to tell him to let it go now.

Looks like things really aren't going his way so far this season for a change. Mercedes equipment is capable of overcoming this seatback, but I agree with you Lyria, it is a potential trap. Driver's challenge will be not to hit anyone. If he will insist that people will have to move out of his way as he has done in the past, then he might not even finish this race. Surprised factor here is the reliability after all that media yammering how reliable Merc is, yet here we are in the third race. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyria 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2016 To be fair they said the collision last race caused the damage to Hamilton's car. If that is right then it's just one of those things isn't it? Alonso is passed fit to take part in FP1 and then he has to have more tests to see if he's fit to continue for the rest of the weekend. So clearly there is some belief that he's still not fully ready to race. You can't blame them for being cautious I suppose even though Alonso said he's 100% ready to race. The decision isn't in his hands though is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 This series has become rather predictable. Mercedes on a roll, and then gap behind them. The third year in a row. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lyria 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2016 Alonso cleared to race for the rest of the weekend. Those tyre wheel/failures were odd. They're saying they weren't punctures, hmmm, they need investigating and fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmcee 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 These issues have to be rectified if they expect to mount a challenge to Mercedes. It's reliability that will cost them yet another world championship. Drivers arnt to blame, the motivated as ever it just blows my mind how were third race in and issues are now only coming to surface like wtf? Ferrari has given away to many points already and there about to give up some more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sakae 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 I am failing to understand Ferrari strategy under J. Clear. They leave Vettel full Q3 in the pits, barely driving 1 lap, and he is 4th. Nuts to that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KoolMonkey 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Cue the violins for Glamilton. He already had a moan after his gearbox change. I mean seriously when was the last time he's has car failtures at Merc? You don't see the Ferrari boys all up in arms, but I can bet you Glamilton will be. Let him suffer a horrid season of constant breakdowns and with an engine/pu that is down on power and you'll see his true mettle. Which as we know is sawdust.

This is a long season, and I don't think meltdown countdown started yet. He has an ample time to recover. Pressure is on Rosberg to keep his momentum healthy. Mind you, I would not object if Rosberg loses a race, and we have calamity at Mercedes, both drivers in free fall. (I can dream, right)? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KoolMonkey 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2016 Please give us a non Merc win. Kimi or Vettel, but one of them will have a car failure, the other or the same driver will have a terrible pit strategy. Most likely Kimi, being asked to do too many laps on already buggered tyres. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
