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'
I think they were counting sector times of 1st HAM run, the one deleted..he was .066 (?) slower at S2 compared to a 1:04.5xx, which he set beforeSevach wrote:Hey did anyone notice something weird with the timing?
As Hamilton crossed the line it showed him faster by .05
Then it changed to show him faster by .29

I think you run wide there because the traction is tricky. Most drivers were running wide there with a bit of opposite lock applied because of this. Hence why it's slower.Sevach wrote:He needs to share that info with the drivers because everybody was going thereJust_a_fan wrote:Luffield is an "allowed corner".

Coulthard, in commentary, was saying that running wide at Luffield isn't really beneficial which is why it's not disallowed.
I guess not everyone got the info that time was deleted, what a mess...diego.liv wrote:I think they were counting sector times of 1st HAM run, the one deleted..he was .066 (?) slower at S2 compared to a 1:04.5xx, which he set beforeSevach wrote:Hey did anyone notice something weird with the timing?

Lol i was confused by this as well. I thought he gained 0.3 through the last sector, which is huge for just one sector. Turns out the system was messed up then.RZS10 wrote:he was .05 faster than his first runSevach wrote:Hey did anyone notice something weird with the timing?

he was 0.29 faster than Rosberg
the time wasn't deleted from the computer or the system was confused
it was the same in the other sectors
I thought so as well.Shrieker wrote:

I think that Suzuka is a bit of a wait, honestly RBR will be ahead consistently very soon.GPR-A wrote:Between Red Bull and Ferrari, the gap is 6 tenths !!! Some more grunt, hopefully in Suzuka, for that Renault PU and Ferrari will have to start staring the RB gear box consistently. Aaahhhh... Ferrari, a second and half behind Mercedes. They were supposed to be JUST A TENTH OR TWO behind Mercedes, at the winter testing.
Max seems to have started to understand the car better for that one lap pace. He is putting Ric under a lot of pressure. Certainly, those who felt it was harsh on Kvyat when he was demoted, should now realize the worth of that decision. I hope he jumps ahead of Nico tomorrow and keep him behind.
