2016 Russian Grand Prix

[Cap'n Jack]

Such cringeworthy footage of Rosberg and Putin there. I can't handle this.

 

[FutureF1]

Ooh Rosberg didn't greet Putin. Looks like that's the end of his run....

EDIT: Looks like we just went to break before they did

 

[JockeP22]

Oh the tension is just awful in the room with Rosberg and Putin conversing with the aid of a translator. That was painful.

Putin would definitely let his good friend Bernie make the arrangements.

Putin would definitely let his good friend Bernie make the arrangements.

Bernie: Dani... can you repeat that next race........ Dani....... Whats it worth to you??

Don't hit the red one this time.

the translator hesitated when Rosberg said "you did a good job" and said something to extent of "good job was done"

Putin always does a good job!

Hamilton not participating in the champagne ceremony? Jesus Lewis...

 

[FutureF1]

Is it bad that after the past 7 years, I've pretty much memorized the German national anthem while I've never even heard my own(India)

Come on Narain get back into F1 and sign with Mercedes

Haas will get there yet!

I don't turn off the tv until after the podium celebrations, just to hear the German anthem.

I was about to say that. I can remember it almost as good as the national anthem for the US.

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Glad to finally see it starting to come together for McLaren. That double points finish was well earned.

 

[20832]

I'll provide the lyrics for the german national anthem next time so y'all can sing along.

 

[NW48]

Ooh Rosberg didn't greet Putin. Looks like that's the end of his run....

I can almost see the headlines;

"F1 Driver Nico Rosberg Goes Missing After Night Out In Russia"

"Good job was done'

Interesting stat by NBC Sn... Kimis first podium in a day race since he was driving a Lotus...

 

[NoirAntares]

OMG

And no rose water...................

 

[JockeP22]

Credit where credit is due, Nico starting the season like a champ. 4 in a row to start is a rare occurrence and 7 in a row is even rarer(I think).

 

[sems4arsenal]

looks like it's a two horse race between the Mercs, Ferrari still no where close enough. Spain should be fun.

 

[NoirAntares]

With the way they're going, RB and Toro Rosso should be watching out for Haas next season.

 

[Dhalism]

quintessentially italian hand gesticulation right there

 

[NW48]

I still crack up every time I hear Vettel's full radio transmission.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Don't forget, Sochi is closest thing that the calendar has to the old Hockenheim - a power track.

 

[ClydeYellow]

He did no such thing, he was directly behind the Ferrari and just didn't judge his braking point. Real world drivers don't go ramming others on purpose

Sure, but on the other hand, real world drivers generally learn to judge their braking points before getting a F1 seat. Oh, well... Apparently those accidents are not even being investigated: looks like the FIA is trying to make F1 interesting again by letting it turn into a NASCAR-like crashfest.

Eh? They already investigated them, he got a 10 second stop and go penalty, the strictest penalty possible except for a black flag and disqualification.

 

[FutureF1]

What's there to investigate, Kvyat served his penalty, the incident is over.
