NBCSN also didn't know which turns were enforced.

I'll probably be watching this race in fast forward, unless there's mixed weather, it looks like it'll be a snoozer.

They always refer to turns as numbers and even I had to count them to work out which ones they were :lol:

It's getting ridiculous. Just put a strip of grass down so there is no advantage to running wide. Not exactly difficult.

They are 100 points clear of Williams so maybe it isn't a problem.

Williams might even lose their spot to Force India

They have once again an average aerodynamic design.

I hope for their sakes they get it right next season, you can be sure Mercedes and RBR will.

Lewis also exceeding track limits on his second flying lap in Q3 according to RTL, but gets to keep his pole position.

And also on his second attempt we went onboard with him and switched to a trackside camera as he was approaching the point where he exceeded the track limits on the previous lap.

We wouldn't want to disappoint the British crowd and spoil their fun now, would we ?

He was well inside the track limits on his pole run except for Luffield but this corner wasn't monitored by race control in terms of exceeding track limits.

Thank you for clearing that up :)

Raikkonen and Verstappen ran wide at the same point in Q2 and the MSNBC commentators couldn't understand why their laps weren't cancelled. Same for Lewis in Q3.

It seems no one knew of the rules application until after qualifying. Good job FIA. :roll:

Don't you know Kals they have much bigger problems than effectively communicating rules to those in the sport and watching at home and at the track?....those darn changes of helmet designs and pesky teams relaying information about the car to the drivers are the scourge of F1 and all thats wrong with it.

Even the stewards didn't truly understand the rules they were applying. In the situation involving Rosberg the stewards summoned him to explain a breach he hadn't even committed.

But yeah, as long as helmet colors don't change, driver numbers are fixed and qualifying formats are tweaked then the sport is in fine state.

Look like it will rain during the Porsche race, but it's even sunny during the GP. Typical.

Hamilton wins, Vettel retires and the only action in the race is random track limit warnings from Charlie.

The only track action will be Massa spinning 8x and drivers moaning about wheather and where is SC like in 2008
