Didn't Bernie once consider a sprinkler system, to liven up GPs? I wonder if this could be part of that system, with the water coming out of that manhole cover and they forgot about it?

They should award the pace car with a 94 place grid penalty for changing too many drain covers.

I just want to say that the incident between the two Renault powered cars was the fault of the RBR

I just think that the people who are watching are all going to be accepting the fact that the only thing that is going to help the Ferrari driver is bad luck for the Mercedes drivers who have the title race in their hands and it's interesting to see that the people who are in the bottom five are all Ferrari engined

I reckon Vetel will still finish top 5, podium even if there is a safety car.

The lock up was more him trying to avoid Max cutting across

Agreed. Palmer on a hot lap and Max just feels he's entitled to the whole road. Palmer moved to the left to avoid Max. No one takes that turn on the inside anymore thanks to the off-camber banking. So Max was sitting on the racing line going slowly.

Yes. That photo proves absolutely nothing that it was JP's fault!
Here's a video that shows the full incident. 100% MV's fault. And to make it worse, MV knew JP was there! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHCCZX7PXcc |

Not surprising to hear Vettel has taken on an additional engine, turbo and MGU-H units. That makes it 5 of each for the year, 1 more than allowed, which has got him a 20 grid penalty. The penalty is null and void as he was to be starting last anyway. If it is raining at the start, I think Ferrari should change to a wet set up and start from pitlane. It's absolutely bucketing down right now - 2 hours before race start. |

As one of the commentary team said, Vertappen was kind of on the racing line. Vertappen knew he was there, so where was Palmer supposed to go? I still say that wasn't a smart move by Vertappen.

But if pamer had not outbraked himself this also would'nt have happened, he would'nt have made the corner even if Max was not there

FWIW Palmer says he braked earlier than normal and only locked up when he sawMaz was turning in on him.
Looks like two drivers not fully concentrating and tripping over each other. |

Trouble with Raikonnen's car before the race has even started. It's being pushed off the grid and into the pits.
