Jenson Button has won the Brazilian GP at Sao Paolo in changing weather conditions. As the cars ahead eliminated themselves, Button kept his cool and won the race. Fernando Alonso is second but with Vettel finishing in 6th place, the German is the youngest thrice F1 champion in history.
I didn't mean to attack you, I was just so annoyed the very existence of this discussion. You were the unlucky last person to have posted about it. Sorry.Forza wrote: skgoa@ I didn't comment on the situation as I only provided what was showed on the screen so you don't have to make assumptions about my opinion. The orange on scheme indicates red-yellow flag. (Yellow and red striped flag -Warns drivers of a slippery track surface, usually due to oil or water). It was posed before but maybe you've missed.
Indeed so. He gets hit in to a spin and then gets hit again on the rear (you can see the deflection in the tyre contact patch showing it wasn't a small impact) and gets to keep going. Hamilton gets a relatively gentle tap and his front upright is broken. You couldn't make it up.sAx wrote:

No broken suspension arm, no puncture, no broken drive shaft. Amazing stuff!Just_a_fan wrote:Indeed so.

]. It's wrong in many ways and useless, I have no idea what Pirelli was thinking. Maybe they just were on the test bench with their new calendar ... 
I'd have to rewatch (still have the race on DVR) but I'm pretty sure they turned it off because of all the local yellows that were going on. I know there was one in the Senna esses for Maldonado (Interesting that we never saw a replay of that crash) and there still could've been cleanup going on in turn-4 causing them to disable DRS.McMrocks wrote:I noticed that too, but was it really disabled as Hulk closed to Alonso? I don't remember. But it was just 1min disabled then is was enabled again. I think this had nothing to do with Alonso maybe the FiA just thought that the rain was getting heavier.Nando wrote:Anyone noticed the weird "DRS is on, no it´s off, ok it´s on"
When Hulk closed in on Alonso, DRS was off. Alonso goes wide, half a lap later, DRS is available again
But it enables conspiracy theories...
The safety car due to the debris was the right decision. For example Rosberg had problems with debris.
The only thing I've found was this run off in the rain. Either he went that road by foot or it happened in FP/qualy/warm up.raymondu999 wrote:Kimi says that he used that runoff in 2001. Does anyone remember when he used that?
