Rosberg would have easily won if there would be 2 pit crews per team. It's so close between Rosberg & Hamilton, that the pit order simply produces the race result with equal cars.

If...if...if...if, Hamilton 3º, Rosberg 4º, who is in front stop first, this is the deal, lucky is another thing. 2 pit crews?!?! At the same time?!?! When? Where? it never occurred, Crazy thought! No chance for Rosberg this year.

Indycar have pitcrews for each car, it's logical to have that

They can also have less people on each car too. Spread them over both cars.

I saw a few photos of Kimi spinning off on the start/finish straight. Did they ever show that on the coverage?

No. There was few times "yellow flag sectors 1 & 3" which sounds like a problem near the finish line - one of those might have been for Kimi.

WTF is Lewis doing, no overtaking until the start finish line!!!!!!!!!!!!
Didnt he read the rule book!!!!
Or he wants to do a MSC Monaco 2010 and earn himself a penalty!!

No he can before when they pass the SC line, you need to read the rule book.

The reason you can pass after the SC line is because of Monaco 2010, ironically

Ok, didnt know that. I tought after 2010 Monaco they cant no more..
ok, thx for clearing it up for me

Tast race.

Mercedes were lucky. Especially Nico who probably would've been 4th in a dry race or forced into a risky 2 stop strategy to pass the Williams at the end of the race.....

Williams. ...it's time to realise bottas is your future and to stop protecting massa. Your dicking about with team orders lost you a shot at that race win (pre rain)
Fire your race strategist and grow up and you might be able to party with the bug boys.
Oh, and a car that isn't crap In the wet might be a good idea to. ..look into that

Really enjoyed that race, watching it again on bbc multi screen...worth it :thumbsup:

Yes, of course, Indy, but here we are talking about F1.

That's all irrelevant anyway because Hamilton made the call to pit, not the team. Rosberg admitted he thought Lewis was wrong to pit when he did.

Yeah, Rosberg was fastest on the track when Lewis pitted and surely would have passed him in the following lap or two.

What a difference a lap makes, especially with inclement weather.

Pretty sure that was Lewis nursing it because he knew he was coming in tbf.
Rosberg also backed it down at the exact same time,...because he had to.
Basically Nico had zero chance of winning this race whatever the weather :lol:

Incidentally does anyone know why Button was classified behind Nasr when Nasr didn't start and Button made it at least 3 corners before retiring?

Probably because Button got 0 laps, the same like Nasr, and as the latter qualified better, I think it is logic.

I assume it is only the S/F line that matters, imagine only 10 cars are left in the race, and 2 of them collide in the last corner, how will you decide which one is in front? Therefore the result from the previous lap will count.

I think...

it would be very funny if it rains at the ring the whole weekend on the scheduled days of german gp

Gaara · PostPosted: Sun Jul 05, 2015 9:24 pm

Yeaa that's how it's done but Nasr didn't even start, Button did. I can understand Button being classified behind the two Lotus' but not Nasr.

Kimi's spin.

De Cesaris fan · PostPosted: Sun Jul 05, 2015 10:24 pm

I know his tyres were already worn by the time the rain came, but that's another fairly amateurish mistake. Guessing he must have gone through the tread by pitting too early.

Kimi trying to find another barrier to tear down for a red flag :whistling:

Am I the only one who watched the video wondering why the camera wasn't recording in landscape?

Yes, the rest of us have given up trying to tell the thick fucking inbreds to turn their camera sideways when filming so it looks better.
