Gwlad Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Why did Alonso giving a lift to the pits to Webber add to his penalties giving him a 10 place grid penalty next race? Sometimes the stewards' decisions defy belief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 The stewards saidthey were reprimanded coz it was dangerous (two cars had to go round Alonso at speed when he stopped). And it was Webber's third reprimand of the season so he gets a grid penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 So shouldn't the reprimand have gone to Alonso ? Webber got it for entering the track without permission apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 It was pretty dangerous: It was wasn't it. Not seen it before. Still surprised Alonso didn't get a reprimand also (or maybe he did but no penalty because no previous?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted September 27, 2013 Report Share Posted September 27, 2013 Going to Silverstone next year for the GP . Josh's eighteenth birthday (how the f'ck did that happen?) and it's what he wants to do. £500+ though is the cheapest way you can do the three days (for the two of us)....and that doesn't include a seat, just general admission and camping . Should be good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Lucky Josh. I'd like to go one day but I can't afford to. It seems ridiculously expensive. The Renault World Series is free but they cancelled the British track race. There's a documentary on iPlayer about James Hunt/Niki Lauda if anyone's interested: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0377tb1/Hunt_vs_Lauda_F1s_Greatest_Racing_Rivals/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Lucky Josh. I'd like to go one day but I can't afford to. It seems ridiculously expensive. I agree....it's absurd. They "only" charge you £170 each for admission but then camping is £65 per person plus £30 for the pitch (and a £7 booking fee just to rub it in). But it sells out every year. Looked at going to a European one but with flight/hotel/car hire it would've been even more. Oh....saw the documentary the other day. Was a great season, I remember it well . There's a Ron Howard film about it as well which has got great reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohen Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) A friend of mine goes to the Belgian Grand Prix every year. He said it's cheaper for him to do that than go to the Silverstone race. I'd love to go too! My nephew just got his first go-kart for his 8th birthday, hopefully in 10 years I can go for free!

Probably depends on how close you are to an airport with a cheap flight or a ferry crossing....love to do an overseas one but the sums aren't working out from where we are sadly. Monza would be my first choice but it's crazy money when everything's factored in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted November 24, 2013 Report Share Posted November 24, 2013 Vettel could do so much for his reputation now (two laps to go) by letting Webber through to win this. Nice drive from Jenson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted March 2, 2014 Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 Looking at all the pre season it looks like we could be back to days of much higher attrition in the races this year, lots of issues with the news car regs. Red Bull struggling badly it seems....Vettel not even favourite for the title currently; Hamilton 2/1, Vettel 3/1, Rosberg/Alonso 5/1, Button 8/1, Raikkonen 12/1.

MikeO Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 What did we make of that then? Intentional or not from Rosberg? I thought not but lots of people more qualified than me think yes. Nice to see Vettel still being outdriven by Riciardo . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Rosberg has kept pole. Yeah, just heard about that. Hamilton did not look a happy camper standing next to Rosberg after qualifying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted May 24, 2014 Report Share Posted May 24, 2014 Definitely not intentional from Rosberg IMO, I just think he was pushing his car to the limit and over did it. Isnt that where they have laid a new patch of tarmac too? Think I heard one of the commentators saying that it had caught a few people out.

Guest blueboy122 Posted May 25, 2014 Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 But why yellow flag? He was off the track in an emergency slip lane. If he had broken down and was a hazard to other drivers then there would be a need for the yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote rightly on this occasion if reports are true that Rosberg did it on purpose. Most other tracks Hamilton would have a chance of over taking but at Monaco poll position is basically having the race won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
