Formula 1 2016 Grand Prix Of Europe

Those communication restrictions are pretty stupid I must say.

 

[NW48]

This is quite the pace change from Le Mans, I'll tell you that. I am really tired. Might give this race a miss soon...

 

[Grayfox]

Those communication restrictions are pretty stupid I must say.

They are good.

They're not rally drivers.

fast left
Right, Left, Right S bends
Long Straight,
narrows into Tight Right


One change the F1 needs is to remove that fuel flow limiter.
If the drivers run out, tough luck.
They have a computer, it can tell them fuel used.
So it should be upto the driver on how hard to push

More classic Kimi radio quotes

Werhlein brake failure

 

[Ryk]

Which car is Number 6? Not seen him on the TV much

He is on it now

 

[[Nor]MclarenF1]

Geez! Alonso plummeting down the list.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Geez! Alonso plummeting down the list.

And he's out

 

[TDZdave]

Meanwhile...

 

[Dennisch]

Alonso out with gearbox issues. Hamilton has found the issue as he is now the fastest on track.

IIRC, that will never happen due to the potential speed differences being a safety risk.

 

[Grayfox]

Hamiltons random touching has worked.
Alonso to retire

Alonso to retire

Sounds like he found the magical lady button

 

[Demon Drone]

Oh yeah McLaren has gotten things sorted out this year.

 

[Grayfox]

360km/h is not a safety risk with such a high speed?

With baku being a street track, its downforce would be higher than say monza.
400km/h on monza?

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Sounds like he might need a new gearbox as he was stuck in 4th.

 

[LMSCorvetteGT2]

Now kimi has to deal with the BS radio bans.

Not likely. The length of the main straight here is probably the main factor.

Some drivers would be coasting on the ends of straights to save fuel while others are going full throttle, I don't know about actual top speeds.

They truly are ridiculous.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Kimi will finish 3rd but wont be 3rd.....

 

[sems4arsenal]

Re-the communication issues, surely the teams can sort of answer a yes/no with a code somewhat.

 

[Ryk]

The Hulk vs Iron Dan.

Iron Dan wins

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

Re-the communication issues, surely the teams can sort of answer a yes/no with a code somewhat.

It wouldn't surprise me if they already have codewords that they use to say yes/no.

 

[FoRiZon]

See. Baku is an exciting track. Remind me of Madrid Track in GT5/6.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

The single DRS detection zone is stupid.

 

[sems4arsenal]

It wouldn't surprise me if they already have codewords that they use to say yes/no.

Me too, if so then Kimi has a decent acting range

 

[Grayfox]

Kimi will finish 3rd but wont be 3rd.....

If hammy pushed a little harder and got with in 4s or so of the chap in front he would finish 4th or maybe even 3rd

Re-the communication issues, surely the teams can sort of answer a yes/no with a code somewhat.

Yeah, no.
Even if they make up their own language they will get in trouble.
I dont think you can just talk over the radio willy nilly.

 

[SuperDiscoDaz]

I thought he only did silent or angry at other drivers.

Perez looks like he is gonna get 3rd legitimately.
