Lotus F1 Team driver Romain Grosjean has been handed a one-race ban following his severe collision at the start of the Belgian GP. The driver has been involved in seven first-lap crashes already this season, surely a metric to have been influential in the decision making of the stewards.
you are F1 driver ? did you ever taken 5 cars out at the first corner? have you ever been taken out at the first corner?Cam wrote:Alonso can roll his eyes all he wants. It must be a nice view in that tower. We all start somewhere.
I dont think so, the gap was too big and the pace of the other drivers was not bad, so its clear that the strategy was awful and because of this he lost a good chance to fight for the podium. Anyway, Michael is still a beast, he fights like a lion and for me its a pleasure to see him driving, even with this mediocre car.f1316 wrote:He said that because he had to immediately push to get past Ricciardo after his first stop, he worked the tyres too hard and they wore out too quickly.Pandabeer wrote:Can anyone tell me why Schumacher was able to drive about 19 laps on medium tyres but had to pit 15 laps later again but this time he was on fresh hard compounds? How is this possible? I did see this on other tracks earlier this season. Is it just because he couldn't get the tyres in the right working window and thus destroyed the tyres this fast?
He also said that if he hadn't have lost top gear the 2nd stop might have worked out for him, being able to catch up Webber, Massa, Hulkenberg etc.

not really cuz he is only about 10 seconds behind with 10 laps to go. I think he could make up about 1.5 second per lap without the 6th gear failure. You must remember that in spa acceleration is VERY important the moment you lost one gear you may lost up to .5 to .8 of a second a lap! Anyway I'm very suspicious because this year we see quite a lot of gearbox failure compare to the previous year.I dont think so, the gap was too big and the pace of the other drivers was not bad, so its clear that the strategy was awful and because of this he lost a good chance to fight for the podium.

I am praying to see him in the front in Monza, his top speed in Spa was good.
Take a deep breath. Relax. I'm trying to see this from an independent point of view. I can show you many starts that have ended in carnage if you like. Yes, RG has had his share this year but noone here is perfect and it was not deliberate. He can drive and has proven so. Alonso had a chance to be a leader and acknolowedge he has done something similar, he chose to cast him away. It's not a good look for the kids who see these guys as heroes. A little less 'I'm so perfect' and a little more humility and understanding would be good.radosav wrote:you are F1 driver ? did you ever taken 5 cars out at the first corner? have you ever been taken out at the first corner?Cam wrote:Alonso can roll his eyes all he wants.

I think it is more a matter of being very mad, kinda like saying "look this what is left of the car".gilgen wrote:Does anyone know why Hamilton took the time to recover a part of the front wing, and carry it all the way back to the pits? Maybe this is the part that is flexing?

The trolls on here could try that too.
To be suspicious its quite normal, Michael has suffered too many failures this season, its not the reliability you expect from a prestigious label like Mercedes.NonNewtonic wrote:not really cuz he is only about 10 seconds behind with 10 laps to go.

It was in the middle of the pitlane so he picked it up so the marshalls didn't have to. (They may have missed it).gilgen wrote:Does anyone know why Hamilton took the time to recover a part of the front wing, and carry it all the way back to the pits? Maybe this is the part that is flexing?
