    Did Alonso jump the start?

    EDIT: He overshot his marks.

    I wonder if Coultard will get a chance to say 'concertina effect' at some point during this race......

    Embarrassing how much quicker the Mercs are than everything else, it's like a video game with mixed car categories.

    Jenson being sensible and letting Lewis past. Now we're in for a humdinger of a fight.

    Bottas is a man on a mission. Nico is pulling away from Lewis ever so slightly now.

    There's damage to the back of Maldonado's car. His rear wing is shaking a crazy amount.


    Wow, Guttierez trying to get his own back at Maldonado for Bahrain.

    That is incredibly harsh for gaining maybe 1/10th of a second at the start.

    Harsh. I mean did Alonso gain an advantage?

    Hamilton closing the gap now, Hamilton will take him at some stage, he is comfortably quicker.

    He can serve it as part of a normal stop, they just can't touch the car for the first 5 seconds so it's not too bad.

    The penalty isn't for gaining an advantage, he was out of position. End of.

    If there was no penalty then they would all do it.

    Yea those penalities are not as harsh as they use to be.

    Alonso is on fire

    Does the car need to come in though before a certain number of laps?

    No, he can take it when ever he comes in for his scheduled stop, it's not really a stop-go in the traditional sense, he will only lose 5 seconds from it.

    No, he shouldn't have. But Alonso was out of position because of his own actions, so he still gets a penalty.

    He was right to start it. He was 100+ metres away from Alonso so I's be surprised if he could 100% tell if he was out of position.

    Torque map change could fix it. I wouldn't read too much into it yet.

    Could do. Rosberg hasn't lost any time because of it. Still holding at 15 odd seconds back.

    I doubt he will 1 stop. It's too slow and and 30 laps on the primes will let Rosberg fly by him. He's looking to shorten his time on the hard tyres.


  • #149

    By my calculations, Hamilton will be about 3.5 seconds behind Rosberg when he comes out.
