2015 Pirelli Spanish Grand Prix

[TenEightyOne]

Amazing reactions from Alonso's front jack-man as brake failure sends Alonso sailing through the pit box...

 

[20832]

And the cameras continue their obsession with Carmen Jorda...

Can you blame them? She's fiiiiiiiine.

 

[R5]

That Jackman should consider putting the lottery on tonight.

 

[NW48]

I dare say that brake failure might be related to his excursion through the run-off of Turn 1.

Button is told to come in now.

Wish I could watch this live. I hope Vettel and Hamilton have a close race.

They are. But Rosberg has a massive lead out front.

Another super stop by Vettel and Ferrari. 2.2secs!

 

[PsuPepperoni]

I don't think I've ever seen a 2.2

 

[NW48]

A Lotus goes past it's Pit Box.

 

[MHPALA]

He went flying...

 

[NW48]

Well the most dangerous job today is to be a Front Jackman.

 

[20832]

Poor pit guy, right in the junk

What is it with Left Rear Tyre Changers?

Another botched attempt at putting a tyre on.

Maldonado retires again.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Maldonado to be retired from the race, a shame as he's actually shown some skill today.

 

[Ninners]

Hamilton could pit in another 3 laps and come out in front of Vettel I think.

 

[Touring Mars]

Maldonado to be retired

from the race

Rosberg has this in the bag, but hopefully Hamilton has done enough for 2nd... the ease with which Hamilton caught and passed Kimi should have told Ferrari that the 2 stop strategy was not going to work for Vettel.

 

[phillgt2002]

Interesting stuff happening. I would go to the British pub that's near where I stay, but I'm in a whole different place and I'm not even 21.. I'm sure the rave is playing there.

Good lord, german television is awful. Commercials every 10 minutes...

 

[NW48]

Torro Rosso teammates are having a battle.

Yep, so glad that I have a Sky subscription

At least you get to watch it. In Australia, the free to air broadcast has been reduced to a 1 hour highlights package tomorrow night! We all know the result by then

 

[NW48]

Rosberg has won the Spanish Grand Prix over Lewis Hamilton by 16secs.

Vettel is the best of the rest coming in at 3rd, 45secs behind Rosberg.

Used to happen when ITV had it in the UK. They famously missed the end of the actual race once.

Good win for Rosberg, arguably Ferrari could have taken more of a fight to him but credit where it's due.

Good work from Hamilton to take second, that wasn't a foregone conclusion after the first few laps and a wheel-spun start.

 

[20832]

Good win by Rosberg, happy for Bottas scoring a P4 finish!

 

[Pete05]

Any word on where Dan Ricciardo finished?

Any word on where Dan Ricciardo finished?

7th, behind the top 3 teams but ahead of everyone else.

7th

Thanks guys 👍
I guess that's the best he could hope for. At least the motor didn't take up smoking.

How much faster could Mercedes have gone? Vettel really hampered Hamilton in the first half but he was miles off by the end.

The Gap was massive, highlighted especially when Hamilton was pulling away from Vettel despite being on Much older Hard tyres in his 2nd stint.
