He hasn't submitted a transfer request, and he won't be moving. He just wants more money.

Grosjean 1 race ban.

Yeah, can't understand why that's under investigation, but the start isn't...

Perez got a penalty in Monaco for chopping across Kimi, so I wouldn't rule it out......

Quote from tristancliffe :

Cool story? Why are you using internet phrases that bear no resemblance to the rest of the paragraph. There was no story in my post.

Maybe they're using different camber. Maybe they haven't published EVERY upgrade (although you do know every single change to every single component, and you know exactly how they will work at every corner in every condition on every lap with every fuel load and with both drivers). Maybe they tweaked the ballast. Maybe the drivers have found a trick that was meant to help.

As I said, it's a good job F1 is soooooo easy. That explains why you have won every F1 race in real life you've ever entered.

It's pretty boring repeating yourself, but again, fundamental flaw with tyre management that was obvious when studying pre-season testing, round one where Merc went backwards, round etc etc. But hey, turns out I was right in the end as he had to pit because he was going backwards.

Quote :

You said earlier that Hamilton didn't brake. Yet his front wheel was locked up until just before contact with Alonso when he took his foot of the pedal for safety. Are you watching the same race as us? Are you SURE you haven't got a 1987 F1 Season Review in your DVD player?

And again, I admitted I was wrong when I saw the onboard from Lewis point of view. Again, having to repeat myself here.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Maybe (and whisper this too) they know more about the car than you? Perhaps they thought they'd fixed it. Maybe there was an upgrade that was meant to help. But it turns out you know about Pirellis degradation from live timing, Hamilton's brake condition in real time, and Mercedes' upgrade schedule.

Ah yes, thats right, Merc who had no upgrades other than a small update to the engine cover, have suddenly fixed something that they admitted as long ago as China that it's a flaw with the overall car design. Cool story.

Cool, I was wrong once, I admitted that, I'm fine with it.

Quote from sinbad :

I don't think you can generalise like that. When Nico won he stopped twice whilst Button stopped three times. We've seen basically all the teams go over that cliff and lose loads of pace by trying to go too far on a set.

That was really a fluke, based on Merc finding a sweet spot between temperatures and track characteristics. You can see that it has gone wrong on many more occasions, such as Valencia where both cars were trains for other cars and it only went right when they got a get out of jail free card in the form of a SC.

Quote from lamerr :

Dont start blaming Lewis here, anyone who even attempts to put blame on him, is a complete tool, in other words a total Idiot.

Grosjean is the facking idiot here, what a completely idiotic move, shame on him!!

I wasn't blaming anyone other than Romain for the crash, I just thought Lewis didn't slow. I accept having seen the onboard replay that I was very wrong and should have waited to watch that.

Quote from tristancliffe :

That's because the tyres CAN last sometimes, but nobody really knows, especially with a wet Friday. so it's a gamble. You can try to eek it out and gain lots, but by doing so you risk losing everything. No have NOT made that gamble might result in the same finishing position as the gample not working, but it appears worse because of running higher up the order.

However, it's good to know you more about Pirelli's F1 tyres than Pirelli and all the teams combined. As well as how brake systems work.

Righto, and when has that worked then Mr Tristan? It's worked for Seb and Jenson because they have had the gap and the car. Mercedes have been consistent tyre destroyers this season. It wasn't going to work. It hasn't worked every time Mercedes have tried it because, whisper it quietly in case people hear you, Mercedes eats tyres. It has done all season. You can see that just watching live timing and you can know its not going to change because it's an inherent car flaw. It's not exactly rocket science to suggest, based on the other 11 races this season, that it wasn't going to work for Merc.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Why lol? Do you think you could do better?

Than what? That? I dunno, when running P3 having passed Kimi, knowing that these tyres don't last, I think a 2 stopper was probably a good idea. Consistently this team has produced really daft strategies that have cost them a lot of positions.

Far better move than the Webber move last year.

lol @ merc strategy again............

Quote from DeKo :

Excuse me while I hang myself, I can't believe you called me a Zombie Orc! What the **** kind of insult is that? A zombie I can understand, but an orc? You ****ing geek, get some real insults, you call yourself Scottish and you can't even think up a better insult than that?

I'm fine with being wrong, and I've admitted I was wrong having seen the on board, but being called 'brain dead' by someone like you, who is consistently delusional when considering posts that you have made on your beloved The Rangers and on other clubs is very amusing. Geek? Sorry, who gets angry at iRacing? I'm surprised you've never heard the term 'orc' before when describing your kind, but thats not really my problem. Fair weather fan indeed.

Ok ok, so can we all agree that was worse than Maldonado?

Quote from J@tko :

Yep you are talking out your arse.

Check front wheels, particularly front right. It's locked all the way from the grass until after the shmozzle.

So I am Gj Chris.

"I haven't seen the image" - yes you have Romain, the TV saw it. Was just you being stupid.

Quote from DeKo :

With your front wheels up in the air, will do absolutely **** all. You're trying to be smart and making yourself look like a cock, the back wheels will do nothing to slow down a car with the front up in the air.

Also, I'm sure you have a full telemetry trace that shows his pedal inputs. You don't know whether he was braking or not, you're just ****ing braindead.

Blame Hamilton for everything, it had to be his fault for not magically stopping a car in mid-air!

I'm perfectly happy to be wrong, but again you calling me brain dead is very amusing zombie orc.

Quote from Tomhah :

Do you know he didnt? The car simply doesnt brake much at all when your front is up the in the air.

Again, not talking about when he's up in the air. Post hit with Grosjean he looks like he doesn't bother to brake much. Again, didn't say no brakes, but I'd expect lockups or something when heading towards a big impact with another car. You would, right?

Quote from DeKo :

So, how do you propose he slows down? Calling you an idiot is perfectly accurate.

Pressing the brake usually helps.

Quote from DeKo :

His car was completely off the ground riding along on Crashjeans cars, what the hell was he meant to do? When an incident is 100% clearly not Hamiltons fault, idiots still find a way to put the blame on him for it.

The initial incident wasn't his fault at all, but he didn't try to slow down at all. lololol you calling me an idiot. The irony.

I thought Kimi was supposed to get pole and lead every lap?

Not much we can do other than hope.

Barca have been utterly appalling at the Bernabeau. Should be 3-0 down, and now are down to 10 men! Brilliant.

Really? Sinep? Couldn't think of a better name?

And just like that Udinese miss out on a CL place again.

Watch out for AC bombing out in the group stages too, utterly awful squad.
