What is the penalty for?

 

[Hollidog]

If the pit lane is faster, why not just drive through it all the time? Or do you have to stop when you enter the pit lane?

 

[ZEROX]

Steward decision ara a bit late today...somehow.

What is the penalty for?

Unsafe pit release, he went straight through the force india pit, taking out air guns and airlines while almost taking out another car!

It isnt faster, it just isnt such a big time difference compared to other circuits.

Now THAT'S how you overtake, Michael. Good run on Petrov by Schumacher... all the way back in the teens.

Alonso now pulling back up on Hamilton as the tire differential starts to go the other way, but as they're now on similar tires, I don't think he'll be able to find a way past him before they both pit. Hamilton has ruined his chances of sticking with Webber... for now.

EDIT: Never mind. Hamilton's tires shot.

And Kobayashi's race piles disappointment upon disappointment. Engine blows.

And Paul di Resta's chances at a good result go down the tubes as his pit crew fall asleep.

 

[X-Power]

Damn. Alonso's just passed Hammy.

 

[ZEROX]

Kobay out...darn it.

 

[dhandeh]

Kamui engine failure from overheating.

 

[dhandeh]

Vettel pit fail!

 

[Furinkazen]

Alonso leads! Vettel botched stop. Hamilton through as well!

 

[Mike Rotch]

RBR 🤬 their pit. SV in third

 

[Tesla]

I 'd at the sound of the punctured tire.

 

[Grayfox]

Vettle had an issue with a wheel nut in pits.

 

[Hollidog]

Alonso, all about the luck...

 

[X-Power]

Fantastic. Hammy's in second.

 

[Aldo]

Bye Seb...

Di Resta's race has been ruined properly now.

 

[dhandeh]

Now, can vettel overtake?

 

[Mike Rotch]

Di Resta's race has been ruined properly now.

That tiff with Buemi was a pity.

Now we'll see what SV is made of vs LH on track.

 

[C-ZETA]

Pit stop fail

Alonso's first. Hamilton second!

 

[niky]

Vettel doesn't have the tire temps yet.

Hamilton might be able to take Alonso, he might not. It's all about tire preservation now. But it looks like Alonso has the pace to take the race... it's his to lose now.

What a shame about Vettel's race. While I wanted to see him challenged, I would rather have it be a case of better strategy / driving rather than a stuck wheel nut!

Silverstone, you don't disappoint... this is an absolute nail-biter...

 

[Alex.]

Here we go. Can Vettel overtake?

 

[ZEROX]

Hmm, Hammy somehow drop pace.

 

[dhandeh]

The drs is a bit of a gimme here! Vettel will do lewis, but whether he gets Alonso, not too sure, if he does, a well earned win.

 

[niky]

Hamilton has older tires than Alonso and Vettel, and he's driving the wheel nuts off his car just to keep up. Vettel has the freshest tires of the three by far.

 

[C-ZETA]

Wow, Hamilton has lost so much time!

 

[Grayfox]

Webber may win because even when he made a mistake and lost time he is gaining it back fast.

 

[ZEROX]

Schumi on high! Good to see him back like this.
Vettel is fricking close on Hammy!

 

[dhandeh]

Schumi on high! Good to see him back like this.

Agreed, shame he lost his nose and got a stop-go! How many nose cones has he lost this season!

 

[Mike Rotch]

Here we go. Can Vettel overtake?

Nope
