So Nico fooked up with his engine setting. Lewis massively quicker, so the option to break was not on.

Nice side step of blaming Nico. He clearly does blame him but no public comment on it. Lets see what Nico has to say

 

[The Bear]

I think they'll both toe the team line and not assign blame. Like you said they learned a lot after the Spa incident.

A little surprised the stewards didn't give out a penalty to Rosberg.

Very surprised. Pushing a car out of the track limits is always punished. If both had stayed on the track after the incident, the Stewards would have looked at that given Nico a drive through penalty. Even though Nico was distracted by his engine setting, they never accept that as an excuse.

 

[Kenny]

Nico back to his arsey best then.

 

[The Bear]

Yeah getting VERY defensive. Saying he wasn't distracted. What a load of crap.

Said he was surprised Lewis went for the gap. Obvious where his opinion lies.

Clearly not put forward as an excuse then.

1 thinks they was no gap and 1 thinks there was and a massive speed difference. Stewards balanced lovely on the fence there.

Verstappen into the wall in Q1, last on the grid for him.

Is the qualifying and the race only on sky?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yep

 

[FrankMunro-371]

I will have to go out then tomorrow to watch the race. I have sky back home, but not in Lincolnshire.

 

[Tredman]

Was just thinking it was about time Lewis broke down.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Ricciardo on pole with the two Mercedes in second and third.

 

[The Bear]

Looks like it'll be wet tomorrow. Rain all morning, thunderstorms at lunch then showers all afternoon.

Should make it interesting. Gives Hamilton a chance anyway.

 

[Nando]

I'm actually looking forward to this today. I can't remember the last time that's happened.

 

[Nando]

The Porsche supporting race was called off due to monsoon like rain.

Could be an interesting one...

 

[Nando]

Safety car start. FFS.

 

[Nando]

That is a fuck up of biblical proportions.

I thought he was angry after Barcelona...

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Shocker! Can only think they made a very late call to go on a different compound.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

What's happened? I am not watching it. I want to but can't...

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Ricciardo pitted and they didn't have his tyres ready for him. Could cost him the race.
