If only the BBC would get the rights to the BTCC, to many adverts in the ITV offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Are Mercedes the new McLaren? Is Toto taking advice from Whitmarsh? Absolute shambles from them. Think Jenson's result is a bit of a false dawn, hope not, but if the car is picking up then hopefully him and Alonso will be picking up points by the last part of the season.

I hope McLaren are on the up, but I suspect their points finish was to do with Monaco being a circuit that doesn't always reward horsepower, so the playing field was levelled a bit for them.

Tony Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Well, that was a kick in the slats for Lewis, and really bad call from Mercedes. If he was that good he would have said NO & stayed out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 No Tony he wouldn't, it's illogical. **UPDATED** http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/analysis-what-made-mercedes-get-it-so-very-wrong/?v=2&s=1 Looks like it was a massive confusion. It was at this stage that on a giant TV screen Hamilton caught a brief glimpse of the Mercedes crew standing in the pitlane, the guys having dashed out 'just in case', as is the usual routine. He knew he wasn't making a pitstop, so his immediate conclusion was that Rosberg had, and that quite possibly Sebastian Vettel and other top runners had too. His first thought was that when the cars were released after the safety car he could find himself stranded on old soft tyres – with low temperatures and pressures – with Rosberg heading a gaggle of rivals on supersofts. At this stage there were still some 15 laps to run, and thus quite a long time for him to hold out. Hamilton thought Rosberg had stopped That's what instigated a conversation with the pit wall in which he expressed his concerns about the tyres. It's here where there appears to have been a miscommunication – Hamilton thought Rosberg had pitted, and the team didn't realise that's why he was so agitated about the tyres. They were suddenly not working from the same script. Instead of reassuring him that neither Rosberg nor Vettel had pitted, the team heeded his tyre concerns. They did the sums and decided that there was sufficient time for him to pit and resume still safely ahead of Nico and Vettel. In effect there was nothing to lose – it would give him a little extra comfort zone for those last few laps, and probably allow him to pull away from Rosberg once again, since the German would still be on his well worn softs, and stop any chance of the two of them getting into a fight that could end in tears. In theory you could view the decision to stop as a safe, conservative choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 No Tony he wouldn't, it's illogical. Even worse he was trying to watch himself on the big screen;) and he lacks a bit of confidence thinking he could not hold the lead in Monaco for a couple of laps:p:D (as you might of guest i'm not a fan} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Interesting developments in the Maria accident. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-33248493 Wonder whether there is more to the Bianchi incident too, wonder if we will ever know.

Dnk Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Bianchi aquaplaned off the race track at speed, not in a slow speed crash in the pits, it was totally avoidable. The tail lift of the truck should never have been left at the position it was in. I see this far too often in race track paddocks, its really easy not to notice one and do yourself a serious injury even at walking pace.
