Wasn't RBR the team that pioneered this running the pressures super low and excessive camber trend? Does not seem like this weekend's restrictions from Pirelli have done anything to change that.

Kimi needed to wait another 2 laps before swaping to the softs, but he didn't have enough to keep going on the mediums... catch 22... i had my fingers crossed though...
Did Alonso run out of fuel after crossing the finish?
Poor camera guy.... tire out of no where

Looks like Alonso ran out of fuel, he dropped off pretty quick 1lap from the end

That's not good for Alonso, wonder what kind of penalty he will get?

I was thinking, if Vettel didn't DNF last race, he'd have a 2 race points lead after just 9 races... :noes:

If you believe these sorts of things...

At the end, we stopped because we wanted to make sure that we had the fuel needed for the regulation [sample], the fact he was not able to catch [Grosjean] on the last lap was not connected to the fuel.


As long as they have enough for the sample I think it's no problem. The problem IIRC is when you do that on a quali lap.

Last laps were epic. I feel like races need to have a regulation overtime like soccer for cases like this, lol.

Ferrari needs to do something; they're solely depending on Alonso to save their hides at this point. Maybe Kimi can overtake Alonso and start challnging for the title. i'd be fine with this too, lol.

Safety has been pretty poor these last 2 races. Bowling in the pitlane, cars rolling across the track, exploding tires...
