Kimi Raikkonen has won a thrilling race that was full of action from start to finish. The Finn marks his first win since his return to Formula One and in the end fended off a charging Alonso who finishes second. Sebastian Vettel finished third after having started from 24th position.
If it is the same problem as Hamilton, i.e. miscalculation of the fuel he goes to the back of the grid.Cylinder wrote:Guys, where do we stand on this?
Assuming....
He didnt have enough fuel to do the in lap and provide a sample.
Red Bull stopped him on track to avoid running out of enough fuel for the sample.
Is the so called 'problem with the fuel system' relevant or not?
Not necessarily....It can be a problem with full pump etc...Mika1 wrote:If it is a fuel problem=DSQ
Bit harsh isnt itESPImperium wrote:Id like to see drivers be told that they have 400 seconds to return to Parc Ferme once flag has waved at end of Quali, and if they stop for any reason, fuel or technical they go to back of grid. Lets make it black or white in the regulations. If there is a problem on the tech side, let them do the damage to the engine or gear box. If they have to replace, either between Quali and the Race id make them start from back of grid, or better still pit lane with Le Mans style 1 lap down rule.
Engine and Gearbox changes should be punished harshly.
I know i have been critical of engine and gearbox rules, as i think they should be consecutively not concurrently as is present rule.
sorry to say it but game over for alonso i'm afraid... It would take a miracle for him to become champion. Ham wins tomorrow,seb second, alo 5th and thats all folks... 
it'll be a boring race tomorrow if maldonado doesn't do some of his magic! 
That'll be a red bull at the back...stefan_ wrote:Jake Humphrey @mrjakehumphrey
Gary Anderson on it - was just now the only man to grab Christian Horner...CH said fuel issue and we'll find outcome 'shortly'
If the issue really is underfueled, and it's looking like that more and more every minute, then they aren't going to get away with it. A precedent has been set by excluding all times of Hamilton at Spain. The consequences are absolutely clear.Goran2812 wrote:Red bull will get away with it... Like they always do...
"problema di alimentazione" means problems with fuel delivery to the engineFakeAlonso wrote:autosprint @autosprint
Si parla anche di un generico "problema di alimentazione" per Vettel #F1 #AbuDhabi
Not sure about the proper translation but seems like "power" problem
Someone with better Italian can help.

fuel pumping and injection I think, from what I read the engine was close to sucking in air through the fuel injection system...FakeAlonso wrote:autosprint @autosprint

Isn't that line translated from Horner's original comment, then back translated to english? If I am correct (tell me if so otherwise), Horner's exact words were "fuel issue". Could very well be that translated the line twice makes it something it isn't.FrukostScones wrote:fuel pumping and injection I think, from what I read the engine was close to sucking in air through the fuel injection system...FakeAlonso wrote:autosprint @autosprint
