And Bianchi gives a relieved sigh.
 
Blue smoke! Engine gremlins! I feel like we're back in 1996.
 
Bianchi now 12th. Two retirements away from a first point.
 
Can you downshift too early on these cars?

Seems his engine blew at the braking point.
 
Wiegert
Or one Mercedes tangle.

I don't think he's going to get close enough to be honest. He's always been that little bit too far away all race, even in that fuel save phase.
 
Bottas collecting a Trulli train. And a blown motor.

Not surprising here. Low speeds... not great for the turbocharged motors.
 
Botas has engine issues.
 
I would have expected to see a lot more cars kissing the barriers today, seeing how they needed to fight the cars in previous races.

Safety car, Bottas blew his engine!

Nope. No safety car.
 
Two engine blow outs. I stand corrected, this is 1986.
 
Bianchi now 11th, that will be points when one of the works Mercs loses an engine /wishful thinking.
 
Great work from safety crews.
 
Well that's that idea down the drain, commentators curse just laid down.

Oh and there you go, curse complete.

Would be surprising if nobody lost an engine here. Low speeds, lots of acceleration... those intercoolers would be just as useless at shedding heat as the tires are at gaining it around here.
 
And Bianchi being investigated for serving penalty under safety car.
 
Bianchi under investigation for serving his 5 second penalty under the safety car, seems a certain penalty.

Same for Gutierrez.
 
Bianchi served his 5 sec penalty during the safety car?

And Ricciardo is racing in no mans land.

Two works Mercedes blowouts would really spice things up though.
 
...aaand Bianchi under investigation for serving penalty during safety car period.

I think the 5 second penalty is unfair, because if you do it under the safety car, you don't really get punished...

Called it... Bianchi under investigation for doing just that!
 
That was uncanny, not more than two minutes from the commentators curse initiated it was completed, or at least very possibly.

Not going to happen. Those engines just run too cool with the split turbo.
 
Gutierrez won't be penalized now. Well, he did it to himself.
 
Go Gutierrez! MARUSSIA IN THE POINTS!!!!!!!
 
Gutierrez kissed the barrier.
 
The other Mexican hits the barrier with it's butt.
