Nico Rosberg has been hit with a 10-second penalty after the stewards decided in a lengthy meeting that the driver in question received radio messages from his team that were in breach of F1's new regulations that require a driver to drive his car 'alone and unaided'

Here is a head to head comparison of HAM vs. RIC:Just_a_fan wrote:Interesting observation, from FP2, on the BBC:It is very interesting looking at the lap times here. Initially in the run, Hamilton is much, much faster than everyone else. He is one or more seconds quicker than everyone else on the soft tyre. As the run goes on he drops off to 1:35-1:37 very quickly whereas the Red Bulls keep up a decent pace in the 1:36s. On average there is only a tenth or two in with Hamilton and Ricciardo and Verstappen. It could potentially be interesting.
No, only 2 new sets of tyres. The rest oft his outings were on used ones.ringo wrote:Hamilton using a lot of tyres there.ChrisDanger wrote:http://i.imgur.com/zLHSh9O.jpg
Q: (Silvia Arias – Parabrisas) Maurizio, I would like to know which is for you, do you think, which is the main factor you have to work on to try to catch Ferrari or Red Bull?gandharva wrote:Here is a head to head comparison of HAM vs. RIC:Just_a_fan wrote:Interesting observation, from FP2, on the BBC:It is very interesting looking at the lap times here.

HAM pushed 2 laps and then dropped to more or less same laptimes. But it's only the softs where RBR can keep up. On medium tires Mercedes is in it's own league.
Softs: Merc>RBR>>Ferrari
Medium: Merc >>>RBR>Ferrari
On softs even Sainz was faster than both Ferraris, but I assume Ferrari will have much better deg. Did Ferrari run old PUs today? If not they will have hard times too keep up with RBR.

MA: Mercedes, you mean? Because Mercedes is here, Red Bull is there. No, Red Bull is not in front of us. I think the main area – I said so last time – we need to improve in areas, mainly, and we need to understand the tyres a bit better. That’s what we have to do to catch them.
Looks like red bulls pr blitz is working on some people. The reality is red bull is third and capitalizing on other teams mistakes doesnt put them ahead in the big picture telling every reporter with a microphone they are faster than Ferrari also doesnt make it so
I was talking about Ferrari and red bull... nothing to discuss as far as Mercedes is concerned when it comes to pace .TAG wrote:Does really even matter?giantfan10 wrote: Q: (Silvia Arias – Parabrisas) Maurizio, I would like to know which is for you, do you think, which is the main factor you have to work on to try to catch Ferrari or Red Bull?

Ferrari are nowhere near as they'd believed or wanted to believe. Red Bull is stronger with their PU but is still very circuit and temperature dependent to consistently challenge. The next GP that Mercedes will be vulnerable in is Singapore, everything between here and there, they'd have to massively drop the ball.
All suffering is caused by wishing things were different, and any substantial difference may not manifest itself until 2017, and may not even impact the team we expect.
Yes Ferrari not quick enough but it might be a bit like Barcelona - behind on long runs on Friday but quick in the race. Mercedes winning of course.giantfan10 wrote:I was talking about Ferrari and red bull... nothing to discuss as far as Mercedes is concerned when it comes to pace .
My post was directed at the Red bull is ahead of Ferrari people
. Never before.
When it comes to F1. Nothing is free. While you might have FTA coverage. It will undoubtedly be ruined by all the advertisements needed to pay for the license fee.flickerf1 wrote:Does anybody know of any good, free streams?

Brake by wire failure is not Nico's fault. As everybody knows, without the ers braking the rear brakes are too small for prolonged use. Certainly the failure only occured towards the end of the race and would have been sudden as if it had been a long time occurence then Lewis would have went by a lot sooner and Nico would have been lucky to make the end of the race.Jester Maroc wrote:Brakes failure (assuming you mean Austria) was Nico's fault, he didn't manage them properly, not bad luck. Team orders is also not bad luck, it meant he was too slow.iotar__ wrote:He needs to get team orders as well right?Jester Maroc wrote:
Well, at least he is getting a bit of bad luck. With the amount that has been coming the way of LH its only logical to assume Nico needs to get some as well.And brakes failure. Team orders in Monaco, crash in Spain. Punctures and fuel problem directly connected to going off track in Canada and above mentioned punctures (target position) . BTW if someone is quicker and better it's not bad lack, crashes, poor starts and poor pace aren't either.Vasconia wrote: Well, last weekend with the rear suspension´s rupture and the penalty was good either. But its FP2 so its not that bad.
