2015 Formula 1 Gran Premio De Mexico

[Team THRT Drift]

Has there ever been a team where the drivers looked out for each other?

 

[TenEightyOne]

Hamilton refusing to box for "plan B" so far...

EDIT: spoke too soon

 

[Swagger897]

NASCAR maybe... not here

 

[niky]

For a minute there, I thought Lewis was going to ignore all orders to pit.

 

[Samus]

Well you know you're miles ahead of the rest when you can just do extra stops.

 

[Blitz24]

What..... why.... 22 laps left and they decided to do that.

 

[sems4arsenal]

Lewis being Lewis

He should have.

 

[Dennisch]

What..... why.... 22 laps left and they decided to do that.

Maybe the high track temps and high speeds on the straight are reason to play it safe.

 

[NOVOCAINE]

Rather ignorant of Lewis at first ignoring the teams orders to come in for a tyre change on safety grounds; instead wanting to stay out and risk it for the win, unlike Nico. But then I guess that's why he's a triple WDC, and Nico isn't. Balls conquer in this sport, not brains.

Why is it than none of these cars have proper rear downforce on this track?

If there has, it's never been at the pointy end of the grid.

The very high elevation.

 

[niky]

Bravo, Ricciardo!

Probably saftey stops. Honestly their pace is so dominant that they could even do another stop before the race ends.

 

[Samus]

What..... why.... 22 laps left and they decided to do that.

Because they could, basically. If you're that far ahead, why not just play it safe. You have to make sure both drivers play ball though.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

There goes Perez, ovetaking in the stadium 👍

 

[NOVOCAINE]

If there has, it's never been at the pointy end of the grid.

McLaren with Haikken and Coulthard, springs to mind. And they were the team to beat in the late nineties!

 

[CinnamonOD]

Vettel's out

 

[Blitz24]

Is Rosberg in 2nd in points or is he still behind Vettel (who will likely be blanked today)?

 

[NotThePrez]

Vettel is done.

 

[GTPorsche]

Vettel. Again.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Safety Car, surely?

Yes.

 

[Team THRT Drift]

Okay I crashed...




Dammmmmn...

 

[Samus]

Rather amusing that of the barriers to hit, Vettel smashed into and destroyed the Pirelli banners.

 

[Swagger897]

jeeze... I'm 30 seconds behind..

 

[Panoz]

Ferrari's day in Mexico: "Wey"

 

[NOVOCAINE]

Is Rosberg in 2nd in points or is he still behind Vettel (who will likely be blanked today)?

He's third in the standings at the moment, but it's hard not to see him retaking the second place spot currently.

 

[Swagger897]

Well I guess those pit stops were a good choice to get away from Williams

 

[Blitz24]

When is the last time a double retirement for Ferrari occurred?
